Synopsis

In the ancient kingdom of Yamato, between the eras of gods and men, there was a time when the two coexisted. Miyo is chosen to serve as a human sacrifice to her village's god, Kippuuson-no-Mikoto, but she's not ready to die! Can Ozuno, a monk with the ability to speak one-on-one with the gods, save her life?

Preliminary (16/? eps)
I love this manga.
I came across it not even a month ago and I have read it maybe ten times already, I really wish there was more to read.
The art is very good, easy to 'read' and detailed without being overwhelming, the characters and the relationships they share are never cliché and develop soundly even though there are only 16 chapters so far, you can see attention to details even in little things, for instance Miyo's habit of touching her necklace whenever she is feeling fear, doubts or needs reassurance.
Plus, even tough we see Kami and other supernatural things in every chapter, I like ...

This manga is a hidden gem.

The characters are good and varied, from a young girl that is to be sacrificed to a native japanese god, to a young "oni" that was once human yet became a monster, to their monk master that guides them as he makes his way towards one of the most powerful gods, whom he cherishes a lot and has become a monster. The story is episodic yet well written, with the overarching plot points being compelling enough to explain the actions of our characters. The "monsters of the week" as much as it pains me to call em that, are interesting, ...
