Otherside Picnic

Beyond ordinary sight lies the “Otherworld,” a sprawling, perilous domain accessed through scattered gateways—anything from a concealed elevator to the entrance of a shrine. Its barren landscapes have an unsettling pull, but they’re also inhabited by entities that prey on any human reckless enough to step through.

After a harrowing run-in with one of the Otherworld’s creatures, Sorawo Kamikoshi is left questioning whether to press on with life at all. Toriko Nishina, meanwhile, keeps returning to that hidden realm, convinced her missing friend Satsuki is trapped somewhere within it. When Sorawo and Toriko meet, an unlikely bond forms, and they begin crossing between worlds together in search of answers—only to find the Otherworld leaving its mark on their bodies as they push deeper toward their respective goals.
