Machi is 14 years old and has spent her whole life in the Touhoku Mountains as a miko. Raised alongside a talking bear, Natsu, she knows nothing of modern life. But, she's enthralled with its mysteries and determined to figure them out. Natsu attempts to prepare her for the trials and tribulations she will face entering the fast-paced city in this comical coming of age story of a backwoods girl in Japan.

Oct 05, 2021This title is pretty problematic. The dialogue is really choppy, and the story isn’t all that interesting, but the most problematic thing is a whole section on bestialty. One of the community members is telling a group of nine year olds the story of their village, because "they’re old enough now" to know the truth behind the talking bears.

The children are then introduced to Machi and Natsu, and they bombard her with questions about whether she's slept with Natsu and if that's her roll as priestess. Later in the story, when Machi is given some other "priestess" clothes to try on (which are all pretty skimpy), the community member tries to get glimpses of Machi in her underwear as she changes her clothes.
