Hi, sorry to bother everyone.

I've been looking for this one-shot manga for the past couple of hours with no luck...


The one shot in my memory has a plot like this:

- based in a winter village/snowy mountains
- female lead is a priestess/dancer that gets kidnapped (?) by a man wearing a skull mask (not very sure but his face is hidden)
- the man's face was never revealed, but it's said to be burnt badly
- the female lead is injured so she was being taken care of by the man in their cabin deep inside the snowy mountain
- at one point the male lead's only family left, a sibling dies and they mourn together
- the dancer dances for him one last time
- the male lead eventually let the dancer return to the village and leaves to go back to the mountains, his fate resumed unknown (?)
- the clothing seemed similar to the ainu people of northern japan

if anyone knows the title, please tell me!
I need to find it again for reference purposes :')

Reminded me of Snow Goddess Tales by CLAMP but since I don't remember the plot of any of the stories then I can't confirm 100%.

Maybe look under folklore? It isn't such a long list. Unfortunately the tag for "kidnapping" is HUGE!
