The Girl from the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún (とつくにの少女, Totsukuni no Shōjo, transl. "Foreign Girl"; the subtitle is the title of a traditional Irish song) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nagabe. It was serialized in Mag Garden's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Comic Garden from September 2015 to March 2021, with its chapters collected into eleven tankōbon volumes. The manga is licensed in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment. A 10-minute original animation DVD (OAD) adaptation by Wit Studio was released with the limited edition of the manga's eighth volume in Japan in September 2019.

Plot

Shiva, an eccentric young girl, is abandoned in a forest filled with beasts that can inflict heavy curses in one touch. Shiva meets a beast who is much nicer than the others whom she calls Teacher. Teacher tells Shiva that her aunt is coming to get her while in reality, Shiva's "auntie", as Shiva calls her, was the one who abandoned her. Shiva sneaks away to find her auntie but soldiers from the human-inhabited area outside the forest find her and assume that Shiva is a monster in disguise. Teacher saves Shiva, but she still has so many questions. In the middle of the night, Shiva awakens to find that a beast, hoping to curse Shiva, has snuck into the house. The beast touches Shiva, inflicting its curse on her. Teacher finds the beast and gets rid of it, but that night, Shiva dreams she is searching for her auntie. In Shiva's dream, her arm slowly turns into a black, webbed claw.
