What bothers me about this manga is a big plot hole. How come the people in that small village in the countryside are dying in mysterious gruesome ways and committing suicide, as many as five people in a month, and apart from those old coots,adults in the village aren't really engaged with it? This is a small village where most people know each other. Ideally, it should have gone on shutdown or under some type of curfew. There should have been widespread paranoia. Adults should have been preparing to deal with it. And yet it's the kids, that one lady and an outsider who are dealing with it all, and the adults aren't even privvy to it. Parents don't even know where their kids are hanging or what they are doing or what's happening to them. Everything is going just hunky dory, just as usual while the kids are putting their lives on the line to battle supernatural entities. The big irony is that those kids in the past were sacrificed when they were sent to patch the holes because kids didn't carry much worth or value in those days, so the parents found it convenient to get rid of them, less mouths to feed. Now it's the modern times and kids are still getting sacrificed one way or the other while the adults are simply absent from the whole picture. So in essence, nothing really changed.
