- Hey everyone, it's Yamaguchi Sapuri! I'm trying out things I wouldn't normally do for my manga.
- I sat in the seiza position for a long time, and wow, it was tough.
- Monks are incredible...! Enjoy the main story, here we go!

- Purification Ritual
- During a meal one day
- My balance ball popped.
- Lately, bad things keep happening!
- Maybe I should go for a purification ritual!
- It's my first time doing this, what should I do?
- I guess I’ll just ask!
- You can go right now!
- It takes about 15 minutes!
- Really? Then, please, right away!
Page 3
- And so, during the purification ritual...
- What's the name of that shaking thing...?
- I always look it up when I draw shrine maidens.
- But I forget every time~
- Answer: Nusa (ritual wand)
Page 4
- Huh? Two paper bags?
- There are two of us getting purified right now...
- Does that mean I get one of those bags too?
- What's inside, I wonder?
- Snacks? Maybe some manju?
- ★Contents: Sugar candies and a pamphlet

- Hold the base of the sakaki branch.
- Bow your head.
- Start and end slowly.
- Increase speed only in the middle.
- This way, you don’t damage the paper and it makes a pleasant sound...!
- This priest... he's good...!!
- I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't me.

- Huh?
- I can't stop shaking...!?
- This posture, leaning forward from seiza,
- is super tough for a chubby guy!!
- Aaah, my left leg...!
- It's so embarrassing that I'm shaking...
- Holding the sakaki makes the shaking even worse!?
- And!!
- Please finish the purification quickly!!

- Now, do two bows, two claps, and one bow.
- I always get confused about which is which!
- I should memorize it properly this time!
- Pe-cop, clap-clap, pe-cop!
- ...I’ll remember it like that!
- If it were clap-clap, pe-cop, clap,
- the final clap would be weird.
- I should be able to remember it like this!
Page 8
- Huh?
- Come to think of it, I had yakiniku earlier!
- Is it okay to eat a lot of meat before a purification?
- Could it be terribly disrespectful!?
Page 9
- No!!
- At festivals, they sell meat at the shrine paths, so it should be fine!
- Grilled beef skewers are so good~
- Okonomiyaki is delicious too...
- The grilled chicken skin I had before was also amazing~♪
- Huh? Full of irrelevant thoughts?
- Will this purification even work with all these distractions!?

- I'll make a donation next time, so please, make it happen!
Page 24
- Oh! There's a festival!
- I was running out of shichimi pepper, so...
- I always end up buying shichimi at festivals.
- Let's buy some!
- There wasn’t a shichimi stall...
- Well, that’s how it is.
Page 25
