One-Inch Oema and the Magic Mallet

Synopsis

Oema trains alone on the mountain. When she chants a spell, the branches and leaves freeze in midair. She knows this technique could be useful for fighting youkai, but the Hachiya clan told her never to use it in front of those from other villages, and she's torn. As rain begins to fall, Oema ducks into a cave to take shelter. There she runs into a mallet-shaped youkai. Hit by the youkai's attack, Oema's body—rapidly shrinks!
