Five little brats.
About
The setting is the Edo period—
In Okawa Village, a sacrifice is offered once every ten years to a certain deity living deep in the mountains. It seems another sacrifice has arrived for that deity, Guest. Now, let's see what kind of person it is this time—
Wait, there are five of them?!
The reason there are five... They are such close friends that they decided, "We can't let one person go to the god alone!" and all came together. How moving... cries
⚠ Strong comedy elements. Essentially, it's about childcare.
