Uzu and Muzu from Kakaruzu
Uzu and Muzu is the story about two children who grow up on different sides of a wall. The wall was originally built when two brothers had a disagreement but none of the people who live by the wall remember why the wall was built. It is rumored that on the other side of the wall are monsters but when Uzu decides to climb the wall one day he discovers a girl named Muzu.
