Somali to Mori no Kamisama is a webcomic/manga written and illustrated by Yako Kureishi, serialized by Web Comic Zenyon.

The world is ruled by spirits, goblins, and all manner of strange creatures. Human beings are persecuted, almost to the point of extinction. One day, a golem and a lone human girl meet.

This is a record of the pair; one a member of a ruined race, the other a watchman of the forest. It tells of their travels together and of the bond between father and daughter.

Here’s a treat for you guys. My son drew the golem from memory. We just finished the anime. His favorite character was Shizuno.

Any news?

Apparently the original author is in a much better space so I was wondering if there was any chance of this amazing story to be picked up again?

New to the series

Hello all! Just wanted to say I’m 6 eps and holy hell it is an emotional pull so far. It turned dark quickly but it makes you realize a lot of things and life lessons. Makes you understand that life is crazy and can change on a whim. Love this show so far. Can’t wait to finish the anime and then finish the story with the manga.

[Crunchyroll] Why it starts from season 2?

I wanted to watch the show but according to crunchyroll, the only season available is Season 2.

I mean, episodes are S2E1, S2E2 and so on.

I also can't find season 1 anywhere, it's like if the show starts from Season 2

Love the show, but

Why this show has this weird obsession with trying to make humans out to be so terrible is insane

Somali is in permanent danger 100% of the time. There is no nanosecond when she is in a town that she is not free.

The big ol' two headed dog sure was sympathetic, it would be really strange if in a century or two the entirety of the human species was genocided and whatever stragglers remained weren't left to live on their own and were used for meat.

You CANNOT convince me humanity would be more cruel to the other species than the casual viciousness other species regard humans with. In fact, I consider it to be more HONORABLE that the humans actively hate the other species over this insane passive malice every other species seems to feel towards them.

It's not the same as eating a cow. We don't find collections of wild animals and slaughter them to the last and eat their children. Hunting is heavily regulated, and at least in the USA, is meant to, when done legally, balance the fact that we've damaged the food chain for other creatures on earth. Other animals on earth are also NOT SENTIENT.

If humans had won the war there would be reservations(that suck, on bad land) where the other species would be allowed to live(slightly) unnacosted. It would be a life of poverty and suffering. But they wouldn't be gleefully hunted down for meat and killed for fun.

This show better swerve HARD with something pro human soon.

About the ending (please try not to spoil)

I just want to know what the manga's discontinuation at volume 6 is like. Was it Abrupt like the story kinda just went poof or did it show an actual process of a conclusion in the story.

Will Somali and the forest spirit get a season 2 although the manga was canceled because of the author's health condition?

Does English version of volume 6 contain chapters 37-38?

And if they're not there, then is it possible to read/buy them anywhere (in English)? Sorry, if it's been already asked but I couldn't find any information about this.
