Shiva's little white lie has had devastating consequences. While she reels from the shock of unfolding horrors, Auntie reveals to Teacher how Shiva came to live under her roof - and the cruel fate that awaits all who are afflicted by the curse. As Teacher agonizes over the weight resting on Shiva's young shoulders, Auntie moves in with them, making the house a little more crowded - and stranger by the day. Series Overview: In a land far away, there were two kingdoms: the Outside, where twisted beasts roamed that could curse with a touch, and the Inside, where humans lived in safety and peace. The girl and the beast should never have met, but when they do, a quiet fairy tale begins. This is the story of two people -- one human, one inhuman -- who linger in the hazy twilight that separates night from day. Nagabe's haunting, bestselling manga series has captivated critics and general audiences from its debut to its conclusion, inspiring an animated short film and a successful crowdfunding campaign for a feature-length anime. Now enjoy the original manga tale in a series of four gorgeous, deluxe hardcovers containing three manga volumes each, color inserts, and exclusive covers from Nagabe that will cast their magic over any bookshelf.
