Description
From The Zero Alliance:
Every ten years, a young woman is offered as a sacrifice to the mountain god. When the tengu goes to see the sacrifice, he finds out that the sacrifice actually volunteered for the role. And the sacrifice turns out to be a young…. boy.
Loved it! Normally I would give a smaller score due to my disappointment regarding the length of the series, but this was so good that even that wouldn't be enough to pull the score down 10/10
Well, that's all I can say. IT'S TOO SHORT!!! I want moar~~~ translation: The manga is good, very interesting and a nice lighthearted, yet beautiful story. It is short, very short, too short, god-damn-it-i-want-moar-kinda short. The art is nice, not special, but good enough kind of nice. The i-want-more ones.
I removed the "tragedy" tag because it implied that this story came to a bad end (I read the whole thing in anticipation of bawling my eyes out). Well! Though there are elements of tragedy, this oneshot has a happy, very optimistic ending. The premise is a bit used, but the author was able to convey the story in an entertaining and emotional way that made it feel fresh, which I think is really what matters when it comes to working with cliches. The message of why can't we coexist with other people and cultures is a timeless one and well-represented in this manga. The art itself is quite nice, definitely easy on the eyes, and the characters look great. Overall, I liked this oneshot a lot and would recommend it to fans of Natsume Yuujinchou, as the two share a very similar message. 8/10!
