Otherside Picnic Vol. 06
In this sci-fi/fantasy survival thriller, the dangerous and deadly realm of the Otherside—where urban legends roam—calls to two women, both in search of something. As they set out to sate their curiosity and explore this other world, will the most earth-shattering thing they discover on the Otherside be their feelings for each other?
With the American Marines who were stranded in the Otherside at Kisaragi Station safely rescued, Sorawo and Toriko turn their focus to enjoying the summer together at an island resort on Okinawa. The sight of Toriko in a bikini has Sorawo sweating for reasons besides the hot temperatures!
But fun in the sun turns deadly and dangerous when they stumble into the resort’s portal to the Otherside…
