I'd checked Blood+4 in nearby bookstore, that said 彼女を受けいれる and made sense in that context.
Yours edition would have a misprint. btw I bought Vampire Hunter D, my boyhood's light novel.

なる here pretty much means 'to be', and ざる serves to negate it. 人間ならざる者, therefore, means 'one that isn't human'.

The phrases most often heard using ざる would be:

帰らざる日々

思わざるできごと

～～と言わざるを得ない

Is this the same thing that applies to the phrase "動かざること、山の如し?"

Exactly, Harold. You know a cool phrase, too.

Oh ok, that's great. Thanks!

I wasn't quite sure what it meant when I bought a shirt that had the phrase on it, but I wanted to get it anyways because it was pretty much the only time and place I would be able to buy it...

Thank's Debezo, I didn't mean for you to go through all that trouble. Glad to hear it's a misprint.

And Vampire Hunter D is great!

[Debezo]

no problem. I'm interested in recent light novels since I read 'What are light novels?' thread in other forum.
they have much better quality than I thought it would.

[MMM]

Some are hardly "light" at all. I think that name doesn't work as well in English.

Anyway...another question:


落ち着きを矢うことはなかった


I cannot find 矢う. Am I missing something?

First of all, I love this thread, you can learn so much from it -- great idea MMM.

I want to go back and ask a question on one of the phrases already discussed:

Is 上から目線 the same as 見下ろす? I heard that word in a lyric and I didn't even think to look it up, but seeing 上から目線 reminded me of it.

MMM, maybe the word is supposed to be 失う（うしなう）？ Without looking at the book (or wherever you got it from, lol), it's the only thing I can think of.

Yes, except for the fact that 上から目線　is a noun while　見下ろす is a verb. The word 上から目線 has only been in use the last several years.

I'm not MMM but I do agree with you.

I came across this sentence and thought it was an interesting one because you would hardly ever structure a sentence like this in English so it took me a few glances to feel comfortable I understood it.

誤解のないように申し述べておくと心身の浄化を行なっ ても、上記の心の負の部分が消えてなくなるわけではな い。

I realize the context isn't clear, but I am mainly referring to the last 1/3 of the sentence 消えてなくなるわけではない
