Goodreads Synopsis:
In the curious town of
Utsuwa, where spirits known as ayakashi roam, lives Yue, a sheltered boy
born and raised at the local shrine. On the night of the winter
festival, Yue descends the mountain for the first time and encounters
two boys. Though Yue wants nothing more than to become friends with his
new acquaintances, Mikoto, the master of the shrine who rules over
Utsuwa, declares that Yue must choose one of the boys as his "Meal"!
Faced with this incomprehensible decision, what will Yue do?!
Review:
Yue doesn’t get out much, and when he goes out to a
festival, he meets a couple guys, and is determined to make them his friends.
Yue has good intentions, but the heads of the shrine he lives at decides that
one of the boys will be his “meal”.
Honestly, I was hoping this would be better. Mostly,
it just didn’t stand out to me.
The characters are okay, and the plot line will
surely get more interesting and intense as the story goes on. The artwork is
pretty, and I see the comparison to Natsume’s
Book of Friends though the feel is pretty different here, but mostly I just wasn’t pulled in.
It felt a little meh to me, and makes me iffy on
picking up another volume.
