Welcome to Litsy!

I am still in doubt if I really like this series, but so far I'm interested enough to continue.

3/5â­� Very little happens in this volume. The momentum is mostly stuck on repeating the same inner debates Teacher has. I'm still curious to see what happens next, though. #doublespin

I adore this manga so very much. Can't wait to see where the third volume takes us...

I‘m really digging this strange little fairytale series; where wholesomeness meets darkness.

This is the first volume in the series that hasn't gotten a 5 star from me, and it's because it's the first with very little Shiva and Teacher interactions. I know this was necessary to progress the story. Of course, I now have even more questions with everything that happened in this volume, and that ending! I need volume 10 ASAP!

I absolutely love where this is going. We got more backstory on the Outsiders and Shive, which was really needed. Also we're learning a bit more about Teacher and what lengths he'll go to protect Shiva. Still dark, atmospheric, and wonderfully whimsical. I love this so much!

This story is picking up pace and each one ends with such a cliffhanger! That's how they get you with #manga huh?

First read of the year is a strange one. A series I hadn‘t heard of until browsing the library‘s ebook catalogue and the cover just stood out for me. Who is this strange creature and why is this little girl with it?
There is a fairy tale-likeness to this series. A young girl separated from her family and into the house of this beast with horns. But he is no vile monster. He looks after her, feeds her, and cares for her. She calls him Teacher.

Just got out of work and now my plans are to read in the hammock until I get too hungry. 😄

Completed Vol 2 of The Girl from the Other Side. I just can‘t get over the art in this #manga it‘s just so gorgeous. This is just a taste of what it looks like. Also the story is starting to get more interesting, how is the curse fixed, how did it start, why is Shiva so important?!?! So many questions and hopefully they get answered soon!!!

“This is a story of two people—one human, one inhuman—who linger in the hazy twilight that separates night from day.� .. 💙

4 ?! I'm not sure if I want all the slice of life feels from the start to leave us (not that we don't have some now) or if I'm excited for the mystery coming with that ending. I'm a bit confused with this "Mother" business and how there's more than one type of Outsider. Still, I am enjoying the art and story so far ?? #manga #fantasy #nagabe

This an oddly striking book in its art and simplicity. Think along the lines of Magus Bride but more subtle and quiet.

I do wish there were more to it, but I enjoyed it enough to continue on.

The heart of this series is so sweet under its goth aesthetic 🖤

Volume 2 of the series continues to have a beautiful faerie tale atmosphere, though it provides more questions than answers. Shiva seems immune to the curse. And why did her aunt abandon her in the woods? What‘s the difference between Teacher and the other dark ones they meet?

I am loving this series, even if some of the panels could use a bit more negative space. (Nagabe! Stop using so much black!)

But sometimes it gets a bit too murky 😅

I really love the art in this comic

My first manga. Loved this one. Super dark with beautiful black and white illustrations. I immediately ran out and bought the other two volumes.

LOVE!!! This manga was so worth the wait for the library to purchase a copy. This is a charming story of a little girl and the monster who takes care of her. The art is beautiful and if you are someone who enjoys cute and quirky anime and manga, you‘ll want to make sure to pick up a copy.

“This place is most unnerving.�

(Something that could also be said about the story, at times. So mysterious.)

Beautifully dark drawings with a so far very intriguing story. I can't wait to see where this is going...

While waiting to get my hands on the next volumes, I looked up the subtitle of this manga: Siuil A Run. It‘s an Irish folk song that‘s been recorded by many artists, and I‘ve just spent half an hour listening to a few of them, puzzling over the connection to the story. Longing; willing to do anything for one‘s love; soldiering; and even the image “Walk with Me� — I see those things.

A human child and her demonic guardian: an unlikely pair who cannot ever touch each other. The setting reminds me of plague-ridden Europe in the Middle Ages. This sweet and sinister fairy tale is 1st in a #manga series, #translated from Japanese. It ends on a cliff hanger and I want MORE!

-If you ever meet an Outsider, you mustn‘t touch them.
-But why?
-Because their touch will curse you.

😱😱😱😱😱I MUST HAVE THE REST OF THIS SERIES RIGHT MEOW!!! It‘s that fantastic!!! I flippin‘ 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤IT!!!!!! This is a prime example of graphic Fairytale 🧚ðŸ�¼â€�♀ï¸� storytelling done right! ðŸ’�ðŸ˜� & I need to say it I‘d totally live on the outside over the “insideâ€� anyway 😄🖤🤘ðŸ�¼

Can a book be spooky and sweet at the same time? This story is basically about a strange demon-creature taking care of a little human girl. Normally I prefer colorful art in graphic novels, but the black and white art in this is lovely and really suits the tone of the story

First book done for #24in48readathon, #shadowloungereadathon. This is volume 2 of the series. Wish the next volume was out already. Cute Shiva meets someone new in this volume. 4 out of 5 🌟
