Otherside Picnic is an easily captivating adventure of two socially unadept women who plunge into a world willingly and unwillingly to set a new frontier whilst their consciousness is constantly tampered with.

This series is great! But it definitely flows better as a visual medium like the manga or anime. Many, many words are spent in the novels describing the visual appearance of entities they encounter in the Otherside or choreographed action scenes. It's a very difficult balance to strike when including supernatural entities that require long descriptions to be imagined but not being too bogged down in the details to tell the story.
