From Seven Seas: In a land far away, there were two kingdoms: the Outside, where twisted beasts roamed that could curse with a touch, and the Inside, where humans lived in safety and peace. The girl and the beast should never have met, but when they do, a quiet fairytale begins. This is a story of two people, one human, one inhuman, who linger in the hazy twilight that separates night from day. **Official Japanese:** [Comico](https://www.comico.jp/magazine_comic/33168), [Magcomi](https://magcomi.com/episode/10834108156763618273), [Mechacomic](https://mechacomic.jp/books/125795), [Piccoma](https://piccoma.com/web/product/40675?etype=episode)
