This is a beautiful sweet gothic fairy tale. The story of little girl and “teacher” who is a cursed soul. This first volume introduces this world and our charming main characters. The art is lovely and the little girl is so cute. There are true moments of danger as well. I look forward to continuing this manga series. 5⭐️

Well, I wasn’t expecting this cosy yet eerie and creepy mystical read but here where are!
What a delight! Teacher and Shiva are adorable! The plot is great, the mysteries that are slowly unfolding are good, some little areas of confusion but I know I’ll get answers. The art style is brilliant and ominous and with so much creepiness, isolation, uncertainty there is also such sunshine in this! More of Teacher and Shiva immediately!

I’ve instantly fallen in love with this manga series. I want to read all of this so I can watch the anime. 🥰 The art in this is absolutely stunning. It’s also kinda creepy and I love that.

Somehow this is cozy with dark themes, easily a 5 star. Cute artwork, intriguing story telling, mysterious characters that keep me wanting to know more about the world, it's people and the sickness. Highly recommended series for sure.

I'm really new to Manga because the typical storylines of the genre don't really appeal to me. But I looooove me a dark, spooky, monstrous tale, so this was right up my alley and it didn't disappoint. I'm glad I picked up the Deluxe edition, because the additional artwork is absolutely stunning. I look forward to the next installment.
