Touge Oni: Primal Gods in Ancient Times Vol. 04

In the past, Hitokoto-Nushi readily granted the wishes of all who made the treacherous climb up Mount Katsuragi. For a determined supplicant, the fulfillment of their heart’s desire could forever change the trajectory of their life, for better or for worse. But as the number of visitors swelled, Hitokoto-Nushi’s sudden illness grew more dire. And for Hitokoto-Nushi, not meeting the persistent outcry of her pilgrims could prove dangerous — if not for the god herself, then for anyone who stood in their way…

In the ancient kingdom of Yamato, between the eras of gods and men, there was a time when the two coexisted. Miyo is chosen to serve as a human sacrifice to her village’s god, Kippuuson-no-Mikoto, but she’s not ready to die!

Can Ozuno, a monk with the ability to speak one-on-one with the gods, save her life?
