About the Story
Tomotsuka first began posting the manga on their Twitter (now X) account in October 2019, later compiling it into volumes sold at Comic Market (Comiket). Kadokawa brought the series to its ComicWalker website in March 2022, and released the eighth volume on June 23. Yen Press publishes the English edition and released the third volume in English on the same date.
The story follows two young siblings who wander into a mountain forest during a violent storm and encounter a terrifying shadowy figure — who turns out to be Dara-san, a self-proclaimed god of misfortune whose frightening appearance belies a surprisingly endearing personality.
“Look, I’m a god of misfortune, okay!? Aren’t you kids gonna freak out about my grotesque visage!?”
