Oozing gothic style and old fairytale atmosphere, this manga is a treat to read. The drawings are simple for the most part, but the attention to detail is impressive and the author can convey the character’s emotions or feelings with even the simplest of changes.

🖤found family
🖤light vs dark
🖤war between gods
🖤cursed

Summary:
There is a god of light and a god of dark. The god of light cursed the god of dark. The god of dark then spread his curse to humankind. So now there is the “inside”, where the un-cursed live. And the “outside”, where the “outsiders” or cursed live. There is a little girl caught between both world named Shiva who was abandoned on the outside and taken in by “teacher”, who is an outsider. Shiva is … special, but nobody quite knows why. 

Overall thoughts:
This story was so cute, yet meaningful at the same time. The battle between light and dark is a tale as old as time, but yet the creator found a way to make it more intriguing and add their own spin to it. Shiva is adorable, inquisitive, and brave. Teacher is … idk what to make of him fully yet, but I love how he is with Shiva. The art style is so gorgeous, I spent more time just staring at the art than reading the words. I will most definitely be continuing this story.
