You know, one of the things that initially attracted both me and Melly to Barajou were its S&M/Bondage parodying undertones, something we’ve both been missing in recent issues quite a bit. Until now. Normally I’d say this is where volume 7 ends– and it does, for story purposes– but there’s such a HUGE gap in tone between this chapter and the side story that comes next that I figured it’d be best to release it sometime later, instead. That, and I like making you guys SQUIIIIRM, which I can guarantee is what you’ll be doing after hitting the last page of this chapter.
This chapter! Editing by c0de_da1sy, QC’d by Melfra and clov3r, and translated and typeset by yours truly. Speaking of which, last release I said that c0de_da1sy did the editing for chapter 30, when it was actually Shinigami. I’M SORRY BB, PLS DON’T H8 ME. D’=
Read Barajou no Kiss ch. 31: Point of No Return Online
Now, let me go off-topic for a moment! I’mma regale you all with tales of… The Junketsu Kareshi drama cd. Hit the cut!

It’s pretty. Freakin’. Boss. More details in the next release!
(Haha. I’m such a troll.)

I don’t know about the contents but at least, the cover of the drama cd doesn’t look too bad. Thanks for the release too. I should catch up on Barajou no Kiss.
2:38 pm on November 11th, 2011
You were so frigging right about the last page!
Shouoto is so… mean?… to end the chapter like that!
But it was a damn good chapter, thank you so much for the release!

OMG! <3333
Kaede, I love you <33
Thanks so much for release!
3:13 pm on November 11th, 2011
Ahh, man what a cliff hanger on the last page. It leaves you wondering if it will really happen or not. Though I have to say I still like Mitsuki even though he has gone *bad*… Thanks for the new release!!!
3:15 pm on November 11th, 2011
egad! thanks so mych, mitsuki what will happen?
3:24 pm on November 11th, 2011
Nothing wrong with liking the bad guys, right? >=3
5:10 pm on November 11th, 2011
I love him. I love him so much since page whatever he first appeared on. Like 3 or something. *too lazy to check*
And SUCH potential. But you just know something’s going to screw it up. He seems the most likely for being the end choice/cannon (being the only normal one and the forward fighter … if we’re basing this on pretty much everything else I’ve ever read ever, plus there’s no justice for me since that stupid blond jerk won out over Mori and Kyouya in Ouran that I don’t want it happening here as well…uh spoiler?) that there’s almost no way it wouldn’t.
Still OMG looking forward to the next one!!!
6:02 pm on November 11th, 2011
Thank you for the lovely release!! Wonderful work as always. I wonder what Mutsuki’s and Tenjoh’s relationship is… It’s so mysterious and probably has more significance than initially thought…
It perplexes me that Anis somehow caught up to Kaede, in the midst of fighting, with a blade to his throat, and manages to pull him close enough for a potential kiss. How is that even possible???
6:29 pm on November 11th, 2011
Thanks for releasing~! You guys are awesome, I can’t express just how amazing you are.
Ahum, on with the story, I think I know whats going to happen. An awakening (well duh) and a good punch in Kaede’s face. Did you see her hand while she grabbed him on the last page? That’s a fist allright =P I love Kaede so badly! He’s just so cute and an idiot at the most crucial moments, to next turn epicly amazing o.O And he’s handsome -squeel- Okaaay, Im done fangirling ^___^
9:20 pm on November 11th, 2011
I love you guys! thanks so much
9:37 pm on November 11th, 2011
ohhhh I’m squirming! you guys are so mean but i love it!
10:35 pm on November 11th, 2011
Nnnnnnooooooooooo!!!!!! You’re ALL a bunch of trolls!!!!
12:00 am on November 12th, 2011
AHHHHHHHHH. -Must see next chapter- (Which I already have, but reading it in English would be nice.) -Tears apart pillow- You have succeeded in making me squirm…
But on a happier note, thank you very much for the chapter! Looks amazing, as usual. (: I will eagerly await the next one… -Sits in corner and rocks back and forth-
12:37 am on November 12th, 2011
Good law enforcement on mangafox! It was such an amusing way of doing it that I had to come here and say so. Thanks for the release… BnK
12:55 am on November 12th, 2011
Lawl, glade you liked~ Damn shame the had to go and delete it, but I expect nothing better from them anyway.
4:40 am on November 12th, 2011
HUAHAHAHA.
ROFL for the big red HELLO MANGAFOX. XD
I’m sure they’re gonna be sorry for messing with TP!!
Thanks for the new chapter♥
11:08 am on November 12th, 2011
Hum… Can I ask what happened at MangaFox? I know it is about the waiting time not being respected, but except some comment about it I can’t find a thing in the forums. O.o (well it has most likely been deleted, I guess?)
11:42 am on November 12th, 2011
fff, you guys are such trolls. But I love you anyway (or maybe because? I don’t know). Thank you so much for the release!
5:07 pm on November 12th, 2011
Well, sure. What do you want to know? About the policy changes toward scanlators?
5:36 pm on November 12th, 2011
Now, im generally a very sweet person if I must say so myself, so when I read this entry and read that we’d hate’ya koz of the last page I ddnt thnk much of it….BUT I HATE YOU TURTLE PARADISE. loljk, thnks for another fan-tabulous chapter =’I””””
8:34 pm on November 12th, 2011
That, and I presume someone put the chapter too early so was it removed and reuploaded later?
9:15 pm on November 12th, 2011
I saw what was reuploaded to Mangafox and all I can say is good for you :< show those money grubbers who is boss
9:29 pm on November 12th, 2011
“squirm” you said and “squirm” we shall XD can’t even wait XD
9:33 pm on November 12th, 2011
It’s kind of a long story, but MF was bought out, and management basically stated they were going to do whatever the fark they wanted whether scanlators liked it or not, and whether publishers liked it or not, so they went through and re/uploaded every series that they agreed not to post because the series had been licensed or they agreed not to upload them, whatever. It would have been one thing if it ended there, but MF is a trendsetter, and their great, big “Fark you” to publishers/scanlators alike set off a domino effect where, in the past, literally one nastier reader (EatManga, I think? I can’t remember) would publish without regard, now the newer, popular series like Barajou are on all major readers within about an hour of posting, regardless of wait periods, in their own efforts to compete with MF. Frankly, it damages the industry to host them all like that. Anyway, I digress.
My beef is that after that happened, I got in touch with management and they assured not only me, but every other group who went to them requesting a wait period, it seems, that requests for delay would be respected. We took this as truth because after the shift, only the management had privileges to approve/remove uploads, and so they would have tighter control over the moderation process. Turns out they were talking out of their asses, because they went back on their word immediately, which is what happened with this ch of Barajou. Not only was the wait period not honored, it was on their servers within half an hour of posting here.
To make a long story short, they uploaded a half-downloaded version of the newest chapter. I don’t know I’d they’re just blind idiots or what, but they approved a clearly bogus version 2 I submitted right away which included nothing but a screen cap of the exchange I had with management and their pledge to honor our wait period.
And that is how Turtle Paradise trolled MangaFox.
Another reason not to support them in any way, shape, or form is because they profit hundreds, if not thousands a day from ad revenue gained from other peoples’ hard work. Really, they’re only a step below Tazmo in my book.

BOY WAS THAT A WHOLE LOT OF TLDR OR WHAT
12:33 am on November 13th, 2011
part 1: thank you for the release! i usually goto mangaupdates, then straight to your website to read.
part 2: i LOVED what you did on mangafox for ch 31! (if you reuploaded it, it’s WONDERFUL!) it makes a very nice statement!!! ^_^
10:46 am on November 13th, 2011
Hahahaha! I just saw the “chapter” that is on MangaFox. OMG that’s hilarious! Thank you so much for the time you took to explain what happened. And I agree, that site is gaining revenue with work by other so they should at least respect those people.
They deserved to be trolled! XD
4:27 pm on November 13th, 2011
Just read “chapter 31″ on mangafox.
Didn’t know that they were doing that to you guys!
I’ll be sure to come here to read these chapters from now on.
thanks :)
4:31 pm on November 13th, 2011
lol, i saw that and i almost died laughing. what idiots. well thats mean, but kindof true.. well they suck anyway. mostly because i dont understand theyre website. LOL well theres not rrly any real competition here, TP ftw.
12:49 am on November 14th, 2011
Ok, maybe I’m naive or “innocent” but what are S&M bonds? Forgive me, if this sounds dirty but does S stand for sex and M for molest? ><
7:20 am on November 14th, 2011
S&M stands for sadism and masochism. It’s the interplay between a person who derives pleasure from inflicting pain (s), and the one recieving it (m). It doesn’t necessarily have to be sexual in nature, either. Anyway, you see the themes running through the series– Anis’ title as Domina is the title given a female dominatrix, for instance. (A Dominatrix is the lady who takes the dominating, or “S” role in S&M encounters. It’s less common to see the practice with men, but in the case one takes the dominant role, he’d be called the Dominator. )
So when Anis throws around the term in-series, she’s calling them either masochists (Mutsuki as the end of ch. 3) or sadists (Tenjoh when healing.) Hope that clarified things for you.
12:04 pm on November 14th, 2011
Thanks. :)
1:41 am on November 15th, 2011
You guys are the masters of torture! Really it’s going to be hard waiting for the next chapter with that tease of yours. So cruel T.T
Oh and lols to the chapter on Mangafox. Too bad that probably won’t get to their thick heads but it’s quite amusing~. Props to you ♥
9:21 am on November 17th, 2011
GUYS!!! OH SO CRUEL. I was jumping at my seat after seeing the last page!
Anyways, thanks for the awesome release. :DD
3:16 pm on November 23rd, 2011
I’m trying to recruit other groups who have had projects stolen from them by Dragon&fly scans. We’re not giving Black Bird up without a fight and for the sake of good quality (and no grammar-induced headaches) please join us!
10:39 pm on November 24th, 2011
ohgawd. rest assured im squirming.
1:50 am on November 25th, 2011
This sent me madly scrambling through my storage boxes for the next chapter in my backlog pile of Asuka mags! (And then to Google translate so I could see roughly what they are saying since I can read the kana but my vocab is small). Thank you guys for continuing to translate this series.
7:02 am on November 30th, 2011
oh…thanks turtle-paradise..for the scanlation…TT^TT<–i'm touched..i'm appreciate.!! :3
2:34 pm on December 2nd, 2011
Hi! I’m a new reader of BnK (I knoow DX I’ve been missing out on this awesome series!! What have I been doing with my life!? Hahaha jk)
I had no idea any of the MF stuff was happening. I’ve never read anything off of there before (THANK HEAVENS! Cause I had no clue!) but I do go on mangareader to find new manga to read :/ That’s how I found this one! BUT! I’ve been reading this whole series on your website ’cause you guys are AWESOME! Seriously!
I just want to say that I was having a BLAST staying up and reading BnK! It was kinda like being in another world where their problems…are entertaining! LOL! XD…and then I found out about the MF stuff and I got sucked right back into the real world where the problems and shiz that people do to each other isn’t so entertaining :(
So I just want to say stay strong and thank you soooo much! You guys make it possible for so many people to enjoy some pretty freaking amazing stories!
…And avoid doing chores! YAY for escapism!!! XDD jkjk
But yea seriously THANK YOU!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
12:28 am on December 3rd, 2011
“…which I can guarantee is what you’ll be doing after hitting the last page of this chapter.”
Me before the chapter: Psssssshhhhhh, I dun know what you’re talking about. Clearly, I can keep myself under control.
Me after the chapter: ASFDQOWIE URHAKJS ZDNBVFSH AWEFD HOWCOULDYOUDOTHISTOME.
♥ Thanks for the release~ xD
