Hello child marriage? But she just accepts it anyway. Yae is a 14 to15-year-old-girl who is going to be married off. Let’s start by talking about this new fantasy world. Yae accepts because what other choice does she have? And so Yae, Arai and Sui’s journey begins.ĭo you see now why I mentioned the Inuyasha vibes? I though the plot was very tempting, but unfortunately, I didn’t like the execution. In exchange, Yae has to help him in saving his brother Sui from deformation. Yae doesn’t have any option but to run, and thankfully she encounters a sealed god with an almost forgotten name, Arai, and has his help in defeating the monsters. On the way to the new village, her caravan is attacked by deformations and she gets thrown to the monsters as bait while the rest escape. Yae is immune to deformation thanks to remembering her past life while growing up and is also able to name things on their way to become deformed but before they reach the breaking point for deformation. Nonetheless, she is chosen as one of the girls to marry off to a member of the neighbouring village, thanks to her special power-she can deal with deformations: things and people with forgotten names that change shape and become evil spirits. There is a one small problem, though… Yae is natureless. gentle nature), and sometimes one village can be of just one nature and this in the long run leads to inbreeding. In this world, every creature has a nature and the creatures with the same nature share many personality traits (e.g. Yae doesn’t know if she’s lucky or unlucky to remember her past life but since she was found, she has been living with the village chief and follows his orders, even when he orders her to get married to a member of a neighbouring village. Izumo, the country in which she was reborn, reminds her of feudal Japan although there are monsters and gods and things with forgotten names (you’ll get what I mean with this in a bit). Yae is, or better, was a Japanese woman who died and was reborn in a fantasy world with the memory of her past life. I haven’t read any light novels in a while, and I thought Chronicles of the Hidden World would be a great title for me to get back into them as the blurb gave off Inuyasha vibes.
