A Strange and Mystifying Story #5

by Tsuta Suzuki

Tsumugi, a high school student and temporary bride of his family’s guardian deity, is slowly breaking through Master Kurayori’s crusty exterior with his pure, earnest feelings for him. One day while the two are out together, they happen across a quiet man and his strange companion. Little do Tsumugi and Kurayori know that this odd couple is searching the countryside looking for a certain type of bone, destroying shrines like Kurayori’s in the process!

The story starts to pick up with the advent of Yuchi and Kai with a sinister twist. Some spirits that come from a bone are not necessarily benign, protecting guardians of a family line. Master
Kurayori and Tsumugi keep breaking my heart, but at least Aki and Setsu seem to be doing well. So cute when Aki beams with pride over Setsu. The art is gorgeous as always even with having gone full digital with this volume. The cover art and title pages are beautiful. Ready for V.6!

Oddly paced

This was not a very good addition to this series. It was oddly paced, had too many characters and added a convoluted and violent sub-story. Tsumugi and Master Kurayori deserve a sweet romance, just like Akio and Setsu.

Interesting!

The story is definitely unfolding with both, “couples” but I would prefer if it would stay on the main one that was introduced in the first volume. I do like the added twist of this other guy looking for spirits with the abilities the two spirits have.

3.5 out of 5 stars

I wasn't expecting the mysterious new plot line. It's interesting, but again the relationships are moving slow and very vanilla, so...
We'll see, I guess.

Made me sad as he wasn't very nice to him. At all.

Another two characters are introduced, storyline has gotten quite dark.

The story takes a disturbing turn. Disturbing-er?

My copy has editing issues were the pages are cropped wrong so I may have missed some things, but it was really...mediocore. Only 2 volumes left though so hopefully it picks back up.

Spoiler-Included Review

The story really picks up in this one and Tsuta Suzuki proves again that her side/villain characters steal the spotlight.

It still cracks me up that the author in the afterward is basically like "where is this going? no one knows, not even me, wheee"
It does seem to be growing more of a plot this volume though.
