Prepare to be drawn into a hauntingly beautiful world…
WIT Studio has unveiled the English-subtitled trailer for their upcoming feature-length adaptation of The Girl from the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún, and it’s every bit as enthralling as fans hoped. Originally a gothic manga by Nagabe, the story explores a dark fantasy where a young human girl, Shiva, forms an unlikely bond with a mysterious creature known only as Teacher—one they can never physically touch.

This trailer gives viewers a glimpse into a world divided between the “Inside” (safe human territory) and the “Outside,” where cursed beings can transform others with a single touch. Yet amidst this threat blooms a delicate relationship, driven by warmth, longing, and silent understanding. (Anime Corner, Collider, Wikipedia)
WIT Studio embarked on this project with the support of a successful Kickstarter campaign, meeting its initial goal on launch day and ultimately raising over ¥20 million (~US $200,000) to breathe life into this beautiful yet unsettling tale. (Anime Corner, Collider, Wikipedia)
Set to release on March 10, 2022, the film will be bundled with a bonus manga volume—offering both visual and literary richness to fans old and new. (Anime Corner, Wikipedia, Collider)
The trailer’s moody, almost painterly animation style perfectly captures the eerie yet tender core of the narrative. It’s a rare blend of fairy-tale intimacy and gothic dread that promises to leave a lasting impression.
