Just read Slime Seijo thanks to @PrincessKadath@ani.social 's rec, and got a kick out of it. I gave it a shot because its concept reminded me of the ancient webcomic Unicorn Jelly. The initial idea with the evil torturing villainess didn’t interest me, but I’m liking the silly background conspiracy and the mystery of the saint’s powers.
Thank you so much! I have a lot to read now lol
It has some horror elements, but it’s slow paced and gentle. It’s a series of short stories about a kid (who can see yokai) who was bullied by everyone and passed around by relatives after his parents died.
He’s just been taken in by a loving family and slowly gains the ability to have friends and relate to people (and yokai). He also finds out his grandmother was similar to him and collected the names of yokai she defeated in duels, and she left that book of names to him. It can be used to control them, so a lot of the stories are about the consequences of him having it.
I like that the story is about how people can grow when shown love and security. With like monsters and mystery.
I just caught up with Natsume Yuujinchou and would really like something new to read, with similar vibes? Any recs?
Thank you! I should’ve noticed how long the post had been up.
I’ll have to check out these recs. I know mushishi, but the others are new to me.

Honestly, this feels like a good end to like the series entirely. I wonder where it’s going next? More epilogue, another arc, or is it done?
