Touge Oni Vol. 1 is an interesting concept but rather slow and plodding to start

In the ancient kingdom of Yamato, between the era of the gods and that of 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 special ability to speak one-on-one with the gods, save her life?
