Utsukushii Bakemono美しいばけもの; The Beautiful Deity

The Great God is a god who takes the form of a beast and is said to bestow blessings on the land he visits. A village in the mountains, where the tradition still exists, was suffering from heavy snowfall that never stops throughout the year. The residents believe that this is due to a lack of offerings to the Great God, so they make a decision. They decided to offer a slave boy to the Great God as a human sacrifice.... A story of boy and beast, blessing and curse.
