In a world split between the Inside and the Outside, those living in both realms are told never to cross over to the other side, lest they be cursed. A young girl named Shiva lives on the other side, in a vacant village with a demonic guardian known only as Teacher. Although the two are forbidden to touch, they seem to share a bond that transcends their disparate appearances. But when Shiva leaves Teacher s care to seek out her grandmother, the secret behind her mysterious living arrangement comes to light.

Review of 'The girl from the other side' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Clearly related to Yamazaki's "The Ancient Magus's Bride," and I suspect it came first. It's almost more of an allegory than a story, though I suspect it will be hard to maintain the mysterious vibe in subsequent volumes.

I haven't read much manga before, but it caught my eye while browsing in SF's Kinokuniya. Definitely picking up the next volume.
