This manga has a really interesting premise, and I love the adorable and sketchy art style. It deserves more than 2 stars, but I can’t quite recommend it because there’s an highly fetishized illustration near the beginning of a 12 year old being punished by being strung up naked for taking relics (she was even drooling and the rope went between her legs) and I feel uncomfortable recommending the book as a result. It was a creative cruel punishment but it didn’t need to be shown in Shibari style.
