While those devoted to the god of light experienced happiness and good fortune, the god of darkness would play tricks on the people and steal their joy. And so, as the legend goes, the god of light decided to punish him by turning him into a monster. Enraged by this, the god of darkness wielded his punishment as a curse in order to inflict suffering upon others. Because of his actions, he was banished to the Outside, where he and his monstrous children are to remain for eternity, while those from the Inside must never come in contact with someone from the Outside, lest they be cursed with a hideous form. A little girl named Shiva, an Insider, is found by an Outsider she comes to know as Sensei. Though they cannot touch, Sensei cares for Shiva as best he can, and together they live a moderately happy life. But soon, Shiva not only finds herself in danger from the Outside, but from her own kind as well.

| It's really nice that this manga is getting recognized. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |
| Damnit I still have to watch that OVA that came out almost 2 years ago now first... as well as catch up on the original manga... Speaking of that, I do like the original manga a lot so I'll put this on my PTW list too :D |
 |
| Very happy about this. OVA was very good granted quite short a feature length OVA is great but I hope it can lead to a full series even if the chance is small. |
| Oh, that's fantastic! Still haven't watched the OVA but I'm definitely going to be watching with a bit more elation now. |

| 2022 eh, fine I guess. |
 |
| I hoped it would be full length TV series which adapts the whole manga but the OVA with same staff and style as the first short is also something to look forward to! |
| While I don't have faith that the manga will ever be fully adapted, I'm very excited to see this. This is easily my second favorite manga, so I'll obviously be giving this a watch when it eventually comes out. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| Neat. I didn’t expect this. Is this manga sad? Something I need to know before I dive into the manga. |
| Pandora Hearts is the best manga ever made and deserves an anime reboot |
| I haven't been this excited about something in a long while. The 10 min OVA was already nice but this with a Kickstarter gives it the potential to get a full series if the Kickstarter does super well. |
 |
| High hopes even with different key staff comparing to the previous short OVA. The 2019 short was quite charming so I hope this will offer some good time, hard to believe that Wit would fail with something like this. Looking forward to it! |
| I like talking about anime. |

A Kickstarter is something that allows fans to help contribute money to the project and support the product. This support shows them how many people are interested and helps them financially too. Where? Here is a link. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/witstudio/totsukuni |

| So...what are the odds of this being licensed? |
