 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Half World by Hiromi Goto is a Down the Rabbit Hole Coming-of-Age Story, released in 2009.There are three realms: the Realm of Flesh (the living world), the Realm of Spirit (afterlife), and Half World (a sort of purgatory where dead souls work out their traumas until they are ready to pass to the Realm of the Spirit). The realms were originally together, cycling in harmony, but got separated somehow. Now each realm is isolated, locked in perpetual suffering. When Melanie is born impossibly into Half World her mother flees to the Realm of Flesh to raise her. After fourteen years, her mother gets kidnapped by the sinister Mr. Glueskin, and Melanie goes on a quest to Half World to save her and the world.In 2012 a sequel called Darkest Light was released, continuing sixteen years after the first book. The protagonist themselves is a huge spoiler for Half World, so be prepared for unmarked spoilers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

 Anachronism Stew: Half World is a mash of various different time periods, with gas lamps beside neon lights, horse drawn wagons driving alongside cars, military tanks; all kinds of different architecture mashed together.

 Bittersweet Ending: In Half World, Melanie loses her parents and her home, but she still has her whole life ahead of her and a new home with Ms. Wei. Plus, part of her mother's Spirit manages to return with her, as Red Jade, and the Realms are reunited. In Darkest Light, Gee has to return to his cycle so that he and his mother can attain Spirit. The others mourn his loss, but know he'll find peace eventually and that they can live on in his memory.

 Black Blood: The Half Worlders have black blood because colour doesn't exist in Half World.

 An Arm and a Leg: A pinky must be bitten off to pay for passage between Half World and the Realm of Flesh. Many Half World Denizens are noted for missing limbs or other body parts. Ilanna's arms and tongue were bitten off and eaten by sea creatures.
