Tsugumomo

Kazuya Kagami's most treasured possession in the world is the obi left to him by his late mother. The scent of cherry-blossoms infused into it helps him through his day - but he never expected it to save his life, becoming a beautiful kimono-clad girl who calls herself an "artifact spirit." Her name is Kiriha, tsukumogami of the sash, who naturally moves in with him, as he is her "owner." Throw in Chisato, his bespectacled friend, an overprotective older sister who wants to take baths with him, a busty priestess, a seductive sorceress named Kokuyoura, and Kazuya's life has just gotten a lot more...interesting.

TL;DR - Could've been phenomenal, but I have a few mixed feelings. What's Great: Art. The artwork is phenomenal. Everything is drawn superbly well, and there's a ton of detail that really makes everything stand out. This manga is particularly strong with fight scenes and choreography. General story. It's interesting and engaging. It uses all the right elements from comedies and from shounen-esque stories to create dynamic characters and personalities as well as their growth. Really great story-telling and keeping the reader engaged with the sequences of events. Just enough drama too. What's Eh: Rape-y. There are a few scenes here and there that kinda sorta cross a certain line. I'm fine with pervy or borderline-H aspects in manga, but this one takes it to another level with the occasional unwilling, coerced partner and even doing stuff to people while they're asleep or unconscious. Pedo-y. Adding on to the rape-y aspects, a few of the characters are basically children. The author somehow justifies this with the typical, tropey "Oh, but they're actually spirits that are thousands of years old so it's okay" but the fact of the matter is that we see what look to be physically toddlers getting felt up. The bad aspects haven't stopped me from reading the manga, but they probably will prevent this from ever becoming pop culture. In my honest opinion, if you removed all the inappropriate stuff, it's frankly as good as, maybe even better than, other extremely popular manga like Boku no Hero Academia. This manga has some of the best choreographed and drawn fight scenes I've ever seen. The storytelling is also superb. I think most modern audiences could even handle just a little bit of ecchi. Just like all the heroes in BNHA have their quirks, each of the tsukumogami are unique spirits/tools with their own quirks. I could see this sort of thing sparking a huge fandom, with fan fiction, really creative cosplay, all that jazz. But borderline, rapey-H w/ a dash of pedo just ain't gonna fly for most people. It's such a shame too. The reason I rated Characters a 5 is that although most of them would normally rate around 7-8 for me, the gross middle-aged sexual mangaka fantasies have bled into a lot of the characters' interactions. And they seem to have a life of their own, with stark transitions between "normal story" time and "sex" time. See notes above on the rapey, pedo nature. Again, the sexual aspects of the manga, in my opinion, tarnish what could've easily been a solid 9 (and phenomenal to consume for the general public).
