Are you all high? This manga is good, at least better than Solo Leveling.
Well, thats not a japanese thing, its a medieval thing. Think about the Grimm Märchen of Hänsel and Gretel. Two kids beings sent alone into the woods. At the time you needed kids, many of them since young children had a high mortailty rate. However, during a famine or other crisis, you might end up with too many mouths to feed. You can't sacrifice the dad or mom, nor the older sons, so the younger, "replaceable" kids get sent off. Considering the damage a drought would cause and them reducing the number of mouths in the household as a consequence of one, its no surprise that they'd sacrifice a couple children, most likely young girls because they can't inherit the house or do hard field work that the agrarian economy of feudal times demanded, to prevent the crisis.What is it with Japanese literature, that families are continuously throwing away their kids?
