The Girl From the Other Side Review: An Artistic, Soulful Adaptation of a Beloved Manga

In 2015, a manga series called The Girl From the Other Side was released in Japan. It was serialized in Mag Garden’s Monthly Comic Garden for over six years, ultimately becoming eleven volumes by the end of its run. The Girl From the Other Side was well-loved by fans globally when it was translated into English, and, in 2019, a ten-minute anime adaptation was made to appease the fanbase. But now, a year after the manga ended, another full-length feature has been created following the success of the ten-minute version. The ten-minute version made its way through international film festival circuits, including the Japanese Film Festival and Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal. It found a wider audience and reach at these festivals, expanding the fanbase beyond the original fans that cherished the manga.
