The Girl from the Other Side

とつくにの少女

Synopsis

とつくにの少女

Touch not the Outsiders, lest ye become an Outsider. But when two creatures belonging to opposite kinds – a lost little girl from the Inside and a demonic beast-looking Outsider – initiate an impossible coexistence on the same side of the forest, their bond seems to transcend their incompatible natures and the unnamed curse that has divided the world.
