Totsukuni no Shoujo

Humanity lives within a protected realm, fearing the Outsiders whose touch spreads an irreversible curse. Beyond its borders, a young girl named Shiva is found alone and taken in by a horned creature she simply calls Teacher.

Teacher cares for Shiva with quiet tenderness but never allows physical contact, knowing his body could condemn her. As dangers from both realms close around their secluded home, the human child and the inhuman guardian build a family in the fragile twilight separating safety from exile.
