Reviews

[Mizuki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Review for vol. 1: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Rating: 4.6 stars.

(1) The second story is quite long and it takes us with the MC to a memory lane about a 'missing' little sister. Family secrets and strange village rituals await her as she tries to uncover her mysterious past.

(2) The first story is kinda like a war between the evil yokai and the human magic users (with curses and puppets getting involved), that's an entertaining story.

(3) The third story.......again Karama and the family curses of Three are being mentioned, again it's an entertaining story.

(4) The last story is a bit confusing, but it tells us how the yokai and his contract with the MC's late grandfather came to an end, that is interesting too.
