Plot summary

Once upon a time, in a far, faraway place, there were two lands. The world was divided into an inner land and an outer land. People feared the outer land, inhabited by eerie beings, the carriers of curse. One day, on the border to the inner land inhabited by humans, one such being finds a girl on heaps of abandoned dead bodies. The girl says her name is Shiva and shows affection to the "being" who found her, calling him "Teacher." This is a story of two people—one human, one inhuman—who linger in the hazy twilight that separates night from day.

My Teacher Has a Cute Tail

What a beautiful story, I've seen it many times before but it's still touches my heart damn. Man who has lost everything and is losing himself, but finds new light in his life that gives him new meaning. And then doubts of worthiness comes in.It is so cute while watching it. I could not stop making noises, just because the cuteness was overwhelming, the little girl relationships to teach. It's just so adorable.But it's not all smiles and cuteness. It has some depth and darkness to it. So it does not become One NoteIt is a wonder to look at the Childhood book aesthetic look, it so good and it has that thick fussy outline that makes it feel more warm. And the colours are just perfect, they had that real hand drawn aesthetic and Beautiful shading.The amazing watercolor backgrounds that just add so much nostalgia.It doesn't look Digital.It looks absolutely beautiful. It has a story that pulls at the heart strings, and feel like a dark childhood Fairy Tail, but on the monsters perspective. Would absolute recommend.

Subtle, perhaps too much so

This is a beautiful, quiet film that is lovingly rendered. The story is a little too subtle for me, and I wish that there was a stronger narrative to grasp onto.

Read the manga

I love the colors and the animation style in this movie/series so much but the storyline is SO confuseing and not good at all. The original manga is so, so much better that this and i really recomend reading it. It makes much more sense and it's just better. I personally loved the series.... before reading the manga, after it....nah.... I realised how little it tells and how many parts are missing! But i would say that if you are interested in reading the manga then first watch the movie/series because it has beautiful coloring and beautiful music too but you won't like it if you watch it after reading....
