― Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

#Spooktober 25 – The Girl from the Other Side

Originally titled “Foreign Girl”, and with an Irish song as a subtitle, this 11-volume manga is one of the finest things produced in the last ten years and it tells the story of Shiva, a young girl, who is abandoned in a cursed forest and lives with one of the “others”, creature who can curse you with their touch. The girl and the monster, whom she calls “Teacher”, develop a complex relationship which eventually boils down to the ultimate question: what is a monster?
Both the drawings and the delicate narration will have you into tears by the end of it.
