I picked this up on a whim and...wow what a find!
This is a very western fairytale that's dark with both it's story and art.
I'd recommend this manga to newcomers who want to get into the hobby of reading manga and don't want to be scared away with how "weird" manga can get.

This is a dark yet very sweet story that's pretty unique, its a better Ancient Magus' Bride without the romance.
The relationship between Shiva and Teacher has a very cute father/daughter feel to it.
Teacher is a creature known as an outsider that takes care of little girl named Shiva.
The relationship between them is pretty sweet as they sem to have a good bond.
There's even a moment in volume one where he shields her from the truth because he didn't want her to be sad and he tries to make her a pie to she should feel less homesick.

I look forward to reading more of this story.

I really love the dark story book sketch art this manga has, it sorta reminds me of that indie game horror 'Never Ending Nightmares'. You can see the amount sketch lines that create darkness and the absence of it. This would look amazing if the anime adaption stayed true to the art style.
