Yen Press is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:

Clouds blacken the sky and sheets of rain turn the mountain forest into a treacherous maze… A landslide crushes a razor wire fence, and buries a “NO TRESPASSING” sign… Two young siblings wander into a dark world where they do not belong, and a long, horrid shadow rears up to meet them— Anyway, so that’s how we met Dara-san! She might look kinda scary, but just wait until you get to know her!

“Look, I’m a god of misfortune, okay!? Aren’t you kids gonna freak out about my grotesque visage!?”

Tomotsuka began drawing the manga on their Twitter (now known as X) account in October 2019, and was later releasing compiled book volumes of the manga at Comic Market (Comiket). Kadokawa began releasing the manga on its ComicWalker website in March 2022. Kadokawa released the manga’s seventh volume on December 23 and will release the eighth volume on June 23. Yen Press will release the third volume in English on June 23.
