To anyone wondering why this "Alternate story" of the same plot exists.
Well, form what i understand, the other one is more focused on the story from Maomao's point of view, while this one is more focused on the other characters point of view.
I can't get over Jinshi/Renshi's face. There's something so incredibly unsettling about the way his eyes are drawn in this version. I can't put my finger on what exactly the difference is. All anime characters have large and oddly-shaped eyes, and it doesn't look like his are any larger than other characters' but he really doesn't look...human.
