Doki Doki Appare Jipangu

Another manga by Yuu Watase. Yes she is my favorite mangaka artist ever .

Appare Jipangu takes place in the edo period of Japan. and the stroy follows the life of Yusura, who as a baby, was found under a cherry tree with the "Kongoumaru" (a staff that turns blue when people are sad) by her side. Now fifteen years later, Yusura has become the "hikeshiya" (or "extinguisher of sorrow") and uses the Kongoumaru to 'absorb' people's sadness and hit it back at the people that caused it.

Originally this came out in 1998 in Japan.
I don't think it was ever released in America.
There are a total of only 3 volumes.
