I'm so surprised in this type of story there's so many of this type of people at the temple like it's common???? THE FRICK?! I'm from a religion family and country so seeing all of that is so odd ;-;
It's very common in real world religion, but mostly people deny it, it was a lot worse in the past, but it's still not gone and probably will never be gone, as organizations of the sort, which beckon great social authority and enjoy a lot of trust from the people, along with financial power, have an easy time of covering up things of this sort, controlling their victims and even if there is an instance in which someone has enough courage to speak out, people are more likely to attack them than believe them.
And I'm surprised that you're so surprised In history there are thousands upon thousands of similar examples, and not like that has changed to this day. They just hide it better. People drunk on power will never change, that's a sad fact. But as you see in this story, not everyone is rotten to the core. However often the worst ones have higher positions due to their greed and willingness to trample over others, where as better people are content with what they already have.
With how tsugumi behave, that decision probably the best tho ;-; and beside it's not that what they had only lust, we already establish that, ofc being that they're still in high school it's kinda risky but If maybe they a bit serious about the future (like thinking about job or stuff) cuz you definitely need that, we should probably be able to trust them.... At this point I'll take a time skip dang it!!!! Arghhhhhh I can't wait!!! >.<
OMG! I thought this one is completed ;-; or am I missing something? Also I kinda dislike the MC at first but it got better, I guess you could said its a character development *wink* It just at the start, they family is so poor and when you supposed to have a mental age of an adult, shouldn't you understand? I mean my family isn't really poor but I kinda get like saving money and considering for everyday stuff, so seeing her whine at the start it so annoying! But I also love her confident and positivity at times!
There're seasons 2 & 3 as well, both unfinished. Here's the 2nd season
