Siuil A Ruin: The Girl From the Other Side, Deluxe Edition, Volume 1
There are actually 3 volumes in this one book of this popular fantasy manga series.
Siuil a Ruin by Nagabe is about Shiva, a girl who lives in a place that is divided by the "Inside", where the God of Light rules, and the "Outside", where the God of Darkness rules. Apparently, the God of Darkness has released this curse that can spread and permanently affect humans. Shiva supposedly has it, but she hasn't gotten a "cursed form" yet. She lives with an Outsider whom she calls "Teacher", and their days are usually very laid back and sweet. Teacher is trying to protect Shiva from anyone who tries to hurt her. From both Outsiders who want to return her soul to "Mother" and Insider soldiers who want to sacrifice her.
I've known about this manga series for a long time, and I finally got around to it! I loved the perfect mix of it being a cozy fantasy and a dark fantasy. I am very into all of the mysteries of who the gods really are, what's the deal with the curse, what are the true goals of the leaders of the Inside and the soldiers, and who everyone in Shiva's life really is and if they really mean who they say they are. Shiva herself is so cute too! I gave it 4.5 stars.
