Yep i totally did read a hentai with the same plot and with the same "praying for a girlfriend" panel.
Well except that the Hentai did have to fox statues because why not
it's 267604 and it is not exactly the same but whatever
That was sweet. But one thing I don't get is why he's so adverse to her signs of affection. Didn't he pray for a girlfriend at the start? His worries about her being a malicious yokai should've dispelled already too.
Initially yes, but after a day I expect you to accept your new reality. Guys in these kind of manga try to get rid of the girl they wished for, for nearly the whole manga.
