“Hounded by two transformed soldiers desperate for salvation and with Teacher reeling from revelations about his own forgotten former life, the past finally catches up to Teacher and Shiva. With danger closing in around them at terrifying speed, is there nowhere safe for them to live a normal life together…?”

This is the seventh volume in the Girl from the Other Side manga series. This is a manga series that is great for all ages. This volume was more violent and had more fighting than any other volume, but I really enjoyed how the story is finally coming to a climax.

The two transformed soldiers have finally tracked down Teacher and Shiva. Will they be able to survive a direct encounter with these soldiers? What are the long term ramifications of this encounter?

This continues to be a deliberately paced story with a number of fairy tale like elements to it. I love the unique illustration style and love the relationship between Teacher and Shiva. This was the most action-packed book to date and the story made a lot of progress.

Overall, while I really enjoy this series, the rest of my family finds them a bit slow. I happen to like the classic fairy tale feel, the deliberate pace, and unique illustration but it may not be for everyone. I definitely plan on continuing the series since it’s one of my favorite mangas right now!
