It was the third time that Sorawo Kamikoshi crossed the door she found into the mysterious, unearthly place she dubbed the "Otherside," and the first time she planned to explore beyond just the immediate surroundings. One encounter with an eldritch creature later, and she's facing the humiliating prospect of drowning in a few centimeters of water... until a woman appears. Toriko Nishina is outrageously beautiful, seemingly fearless, and, frankly, a bit of an oddball, but she's able to save Sorawo, both from her "lie-down bath of death" and from an unknowable creature straight out of an urban legend. After a little bit of persuasion (and a promise of cash for her trouble), Sorawo agrees to accompany Toriko on her artifact-hunting expeditions in the Otherside. However, cash isn't actually Toriko's primary motivation: it seems that she's trying to find her friend and mentor who's missing in the Otherside...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Otherside Picnic (裏世界ピクニック, Urasekai Picnic) is a Japanese Light Novel series written by Iori Miyazawa and illustrated by Shirakaba which can be best described as Roadside Picnicnote Which is the original inspiration for this series, if you couldn't tell from the title crossed with Japanese Internet Urban Legends and Creepypasta, with a side dash of Yuri.The English version is licensed by J-Novel Club. Eita Mizuno is currently adapting the story into a manga, which will be published by Square Enix Manga and Books in English in May 2021. An anime has been announced for Winter 2021 as animated by Liden Films, with Funimation picking it up for English distribution. It began airing on January 4th, 2021.

Adaptational Attractiveness

comment
Adaptational Attractiveness: In the manga, Abarato had unkept, scraggly hair, a ragged looking cloak, and overall looked very haggard. In the anime, while his hair was still long and scruffy, it looked much more well-kept and his overall appearance was much neater (the fact that he now also had glasses might have added to this impression). Fans joked about Abarato "becoming hot" to the point that Eita Mizuko jokingly apologized on Twitter for focusing on the "unclean" aspect of his character.

comment
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: The episodes of the anime take place in a different order from the light novel, resulting in Sorawo and Toriko using Hasshaku-sama's hat to get to the Otherside when it had been destroyed in a previous episode.

Adaptational Superpower Change

comment
Adaptational Super Power Change: A minor example. In the novels, Sorawo wears a contact to hide her Magic Eye, though it hinders its effectiveness, so she does remove it from time to time. In the anime, it seems to be a power she can turn on or off, shifting eye color with it. It may be an animation error as Sorawo mentions that she does wear a colour contact in the anime.
