The part where the twin guardian spirits are introduced. The genre just flipped from slice of life to action. That particular part was where I stopped reading the manga further.
Yes, I do remember that those spirits can be used only thrice, and then there’s also a shrine deity waiting for the payments. By the time, I had lost my interest, and I did not pursue any of the newer chapters.
I’m not sure I can agree with the idea that the point of that was the action… But rather the mystery of what those spirits were. Same as any horror Miko encounters in the series.
You’re attributing your loss of interest to a genre shift I don’t think was there. The hooks of intrigue simply didn’t interest you, which is absolutely fair. But they are definitely the reason the rest of us are still reading, rather than the “action”.
Although, it does help that the art has been consistently amazing.
IMO the series has maintained its quality, and even improved over time, such as by dropping the fanservice.
I suspect it might not’ve been your type of thing to begin with, and the main reason you enjoyed it at first was the novelty.
The series has done pretty much everything it could have done to stay interesting within the premise, I think.
Maybe I don’t like reading manga anymore, I guess. What I’m probably looking for is a full-sized novel in the form of graphic novel. The last thing I’ve read was HakoMari, and I quite enjoyed it, despite some of it’s flaws.
Spoiler below, warning!

Don’t they stick around for like three chapters, and end up being a twist?
