Akujo Monogatari: Mamushigusa
まんがグリム童話 悪女魔物語―蝮蛇草
In a kingdom where beauty is prized above all, a young woman named Mamushigusa is born with a face that others call hideous. Her mother, a former court lady, dies in childbirth, leaving her alone in a world that shuns her. Despite her gentle heart, Mamushigusa is treated as a monster by everyone around her, including her own father, who abandons her to a life of solitude in the forest.
As she grows up, Mamushigusa learns to survive by her wits, but her loneliness turns to bitterness when she discovers the truth about her mother's past. A cruel nobleman who once loved her mother now seeks to destroy her, and Mamushigusa must decide whether to embrace the darkness within her or find a way to break free from the curse of her appearance. Her journey leads her to confront the very nature of beauty and evil.
