Synopsis

Long ago, there was a god of light and a god of darkness. While those devoted to the god of light experienced happiness and good fortune, the god of darkness would play tricks on the people and steal their joy. And so, as the legend goes, the god of light decided to punish him by turning him into a monster. Enraged by this, the god of darkness wielded his punishment as a curse in order to inflict suffering upon others. Because of his actions, he was banished to the Outside, where he and his monstrous children are to remain for eternity, while those from the Inside must never come in contact with someone from the Outside, lest they be cursed with a hideous form.

A little girl named Shiva, an Insider, is found by an Outsider she comes to know as Sensei. Though they cannot touch, Sensei cares for Shiva as best he can, and together they live a moderately happy life. But soon, Shiva not only finds herself in danger from the Outside, but from her own kind as well.

Honestly this manga is a work of art.
The art is great, the characters are great, the story / plot is outstanding.
Fantastic worldbuilding, also really great world in general. Very immersive, the characters and world just feel alive. It's probably a bit hit or miss, and i can imagine that it might not appeal to everybody, but it certainly hit me. I can't really think of more to say, it's just great in general with certain very strong points.

TL;DR: This manga achieves what it set out to do splendidly, it's generally strong in basically every aspect, and so deserves at least a 9.

With that said, it ...

Mixed Feelings
Good and evil. Light and darkness. Soul and body.

These are the themes, readers are exposed to most of the time in this manga. And it takes its time to fully absorb us into the world and into the two main contrasting characters.

I was first skeptical. It may burn out its magic halfway through. It may fall into slice of life stereotype.
No.
It showed that it has a lot to offer, whether a rich story and lore, or interesting characters, which can’t really be categorized as villains or heroes. Motives of all characters feel real.

Yet it was chapter 41 that started overall decline of the story. Why ...

**there are spoilers, but they are tagged and very avoidable**
Before I explain my issues with the manga, I want to say that I appreciated the unique artstyle and somewhat unique setting. The aesthetic of the manga is certainly novel. However, this is where my praises end. I did not enjoy reading this manga.


For one, this manga suffers from incredibly poor pacing. Not only does it take forever for plot beats to happen, but the manga is extremely repetitive. Parts of the story are shown, narrated, and then reflected on by the characters. This causes the point of some scenes to be explained three times, which ...
