Square Enix Manga & Books is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:

In a remote mountain village under the watchful eyes of two stone guardians, the young Yuru contentedly lives off the land while staying close to the only family he has left—Asa, his precious twin sister. Asa, meanwhile, carries out a mysterious “duty” on behalf of the village while locked in a cage. Why is Asa a prisoner? And what other secrets does Yuru's otherwise idyllic home hide?

In December 2021, Arakawa was introduced in Square Enix 's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine as a manga series. On July 11th, Square Enix released the manga's tenth compiled book volume.
