The pace and setting is perfect, sometimes you really just want a nice slow manga, with a lot of descriptions and world building. When exciting, high-paced manga all start to merge into each other, sometimes you just want something laid back.
Thank the mangaka, Hiraku's room has working doors in this version, previous one only opened from the outside, and the ln illustration had a solid wall over the door...there was also that comment from the village chief about how he couldn't escape at night....
Hold up, if zabutons provide security they should definitely have access to the women's areas...not like they are going to get hot and bothered peeping (or are they?)
Those women shouldn't be afraid of spiders anymore after wearing clothes made from their thread for years. Which of course entailed that spiders know their sizes too. All of them.
