Status Updates From Kusunoki's Garden of Gods, ...

If I haven't said it yet, I totally ship Minato and Saiga. I don't think it'll happen, this is not the sort of series to have anything to do with romance. But their dynamic is really cute anyway. Minato makes the talismans, Saiga exorcises the evil spirits. If this were the type of series to have any romance at all, I have no doubt they would end up together after a year or two of thinking the other isn't interested.

I like the chapter where all the local wildlife gets povs. That was neat. And it didn't completely humanize them. It kept them animal-like. More of this in fiction. I like it.

I wonder how far the anime is going to get when it comes out next month. I don't think it'll get all the way to meeting the fox. It might not even get past book 1 in season 1. Either way I'm so excited

Everyone in town apparently knows Minato as the local Disney princess lol.

I learned of a new fairy tale. Momotaro. Cute.

Fox 🦊
I love her your honor. If anything happened to her, you know the meme.

I'm sorry but that metaphor? Comparing perfectly trimmed bushes to A-list actors? WHAT IS THAT? I have never heard a metaphor that made me recoil in wtf more than that. There are so many nature metaphors to go for, and you went for that?????? What even...I'm so excited to be back in this series, but that better be the last horrible metaphor.
