A Menina do Outro Lado #1

Published by DarkSide Books in 2019, this Brazilian edition of Nagabe's *A Menina do Outro Lado* (とつくにの少女) opens with a cover that immediately draws you into something haunting and tender — a small girl dressed in white stands beside a towering, dark creature with a bird-like mask, the two figures dwarfed by a pale, leafless forest stretching into a deep blue-grey sky. The stark contrast between the child's fragile brightness and the looming, shadowed figure creates an atmosphere that feels equal parts fairy tale and quiet dread. Nagabe's art carries an unmistakable storybook gravity, making this hardcover edition a genuinely beautiful object to hold.
