strange, dark little book. Great character design and illustrations. Reminds me of early 20th Century illustrators like Rene Bull and Arthur Rackham.

Very cute story. It’s very well paced and has some unique and fun artwork. I was almost expecting this to be similar Ancient Magus Bride but it is very different.
The little girl Shiva is such a little kid in her innocent mischief (even when well intended). I especially like the way they explain the world more naturally though a story book.
Excited to read the next one.

Beautiful illustrations, reminiscent of a slightly spooky children's book. Does a good job of building up an eerie atmosphere and seeding the first pieces of a mystery. The main characters are immediately lovable. I'd read the rest if I had easy access, but multi-volume manga aren't really my jam lately due to the difficulty of getting hold of all the books without buying a mountain of paper. Wish it was a shorter story in one tankōbon instead.
