In “Blast from the past” mode, here’s a Tsuyatsuya volume that was first published in 2004, a bit more than the day after yesterday 
And I’ve got both very bad, and very good things to tell about this volume, even to me, the contrast feels weird ^^
– Graphically: the art is bad. Seriously bad. Reading Tsuyatsuya has always taken a bit of time to get used again to the unique art style, however, here, it was like the artist wasn’t yet at peak level, far from it. I didn’t mention the censorship yet, did I? Fear not, it’s not ugly, you will see nothing *cough*
– And yet, in terms of story, that was incredibly sweet. We watch a family made of a mother and her two just adult dauthers (I’ll skip the details), two of them working as shrine maidens (aaah, miko outfits!!), and we watch them either grow as humans, or help others around them overcome their weaknesses, find courage and heart again. This feeling of ambient kindness, of gentleness, of respect for each other’s feelings, that was considerably heart-warming, with a sense of bittersweet longing in the end…
TL;DR: I would never recommend this one if you just want to fap to your heart’s contents. But otherwise, it’s worth your time in my opinion, try to read it 
–Update: and now, the volume 2 has been released!
