The white tree forest starts, and one of my favorite characters Barago appears!

Barago is a truly remarkable character. He has a mysterious and alluring presence that immediately grabs the attention. With his unique appearance and charming personality, he adds a special charm to the story.

As the white tree forest unfolds, we get to see Barago in action. He shows great courage and determination, facing various challenges and obstacles with ease. His skills and abilities are truly impressive, making him a force to be reckoned with.

Barago's relationships with other characters also add depth to his character. He has a complex web of friendships and rivalries, which makes for an interesting and engaging storyline. We can't help but root for him as he navigates through the challenges and adventures in the white tree forest.

In conclusion, Barago is one of the most fascinating characters in the story. His appearance in the white tree forest marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and we can't wait to see what he does next.

I've been a bit absent-minded lately, and as a result, I couldn't fully focus on reading this volume.

What I mean is that I would read a few pages, and then I would interrupt the reading to look around and then go back to the manga. This is definitely not the ideal condition to let oneself be fully drawn into the story.

The first part of the volume was a bit blurry for me. Izark was fighting against a large number of enemies, but these enemies weren't really enemies. There were so many faces that I didn't recognize.

The second part, the voyage on horses, was really interesting. There was more adventure and a touch of magic. In addition, I really like it when Noriko and Izark are together. They are so sweet and their relationship adds a nice element to the story.

Now, it's time to move on to volume #5 and see what new adventures and developments await.

Welcome to volume 4 of From Far Away, or as I affectionately call it Izark, the Blushing Sky Demon.

When we last left our dear friends, Noriko had met the mercenary Agol and his Seer daughter Geena Haas. Gaya witnessed Izark's imprisonment, and Lord Rachef was calmly sipping tea while pondering who Izark was. Rachef often engages in this behavior, and I'm certain it holds no significance.

It appears that Izark has become the new fighting toy of the usurper ruler, Lord Nada. After refusing to fight Barago, Nada drugged and kidnapped Izark, gloating about making him grovel. Meanwhile, Izark is more concerned about the grave error he made in leaving Noriko with Gaya, as it seems Gaya has involved her in the region's politics.

All of this gets resolved to the extent that Izark and his Merry Men end up on the road to a monster-ridden forest of beautiful trees. Noriko continues her campaign to be the most pragmatic shoujo heroine ever, while Izark dons the brooding hero's "why do I miss her" mask. Lord Rachef is so preoccupied with thoughts of Izark that he barely speaks during a representative meeting. However, his power is such that no one dares oppose him when he does speak. Also, no one is permitted in his quarters. Keimos is also dreaming of his wedding day next fight with Izark, which makes me sad because he would be the prettiest homicidal murderer at the ball.

Honestly, people spend as much time contemplating Izark as they do Noriko.

The story unfolds with the introduction of new allies, a courageous rescue mission, and an abundance of additional allies joining the fray.

This manga is truly one of the most substantial I've ever encountered. It features a rich, thick, and intricate plot, filled with political machinations, numerous subplots, and deeply developed characters.

The story is revealed in a fragmented manner, leaving the reader yearning for more and eager to delve deeper into this captivating world.

I find myself constantly pondering the true nature of Noriko and Izark. Their evolving relationship is a joy to behold.

I love this manga even more than Fushigi Yuugi, which is a significant statement. I'm eagerly anticipating the next installment to see where this story will lead.

It's a manga that keeps you on the edge of your seat, constantly engaged and hungry for more.

The complex web of characters and storylines makes it a truly immersive experience.

I can't wait to see what new twists and turns await in the future.

Izuku is an extremely sweet character.

Whenever he reads something that interests him, like the text you mentioned, he can't help but grin like an idiot.

His smile is so genuine and full of joy that it's impossible not to be感染 by his enthusiasm.

It's as if the words on the page transport him to a different world, a world where he can forget all his troubles and just be happy.

Izuku's love for reading is just one of the many things that make him so endearing.

His kind heart and unwavering determination also make him a character that we can't help but root for.

Whether he's facing difficult challenges or simply enjoying a moment of peace, Izuku always manages to find the good in every situation.

And that's what makes him such a special and beloved character.

This one was a return to form after the last volume.

I think mostly because the story has a bit more momentum now.

The characters aren't just waiting for the plot to happen to them. Instead, they actually have a goal.

The wider world, antagonists and secondary characters are not where this series excels. This might sound quite damning.

However, the main characters are somehow so sweet that it doesn't matter to me.

I'm absolutely here for Izark, Noriko and their star-crossed, apocalypse-causing, ridiculously adorable relationship.

It's like a breath of fresh air in a sometimes overly complicated literary landscape.

Their connection is palpable and draws the reader in, making us root for them despite the odds.

Even though the story may have its flaws in other aspects, the charm of the main characters more than makes up for it.

It keeps me eagerly turning the pages, excited to see what will happen next in their journey.

I just can't stop reading this amazing piece of writing.

Every word seems to draw me in deeper, captivating my attention and imagination.

The author's style is so engaging that I find myself completely immersed in the story or the ideas being presented.

It's as if I've entered a different world through the pages of this text.

I keep turning the pages, eager to discover what comes next, unable to tear myself away.

This reading experience has become a source of great enjoyment and inspiration for me.

I'm constantly amazed by how a simple collection of words can have such a powerful impact on my emotions and thoughts.

It makes me appreciate the beauty and power of language all the more.

I truly hope that I can continue to have such wonderful reading experiences in the future.

Izark and Noriko are back together again, which is a cause for celebration. However, their reunion is short-lived as they find themselves under attack by something truly unexpected - human hair!

It seems that there is some strange force at work, causing the hair to come alive and pose a threat to our heroes.

Izark and Noriko must now use their skills and teamwork to fend off this bizarre attack and figure out who or what is behind it.

I just can't get tired of this manga. I have no idea how many times I've read it! It always manages to keep me on the edge of my seat with its unique and exciting storylines.

The characters are well-developed and the art is amazing, making it a pleasure to read. I can't wait to see what happens next in Izark and Noriko's adventures.

In this volume, the story truly feels as though it's picking up momentum.

My absolute favorite scene throughout the entire volume was the heartwarming reunion between Izark and Noriko. Ever since they were separated, their bond has only grown stronger. It's now too late for them; they are firmly in this together. As the days pass by for these two, Izark's demonic traits become increasingly prominent and more difficult to hide. It seems that his attempt to abandon her was not only out of concern for her well-being but also in an effort to delay the inevitable - her accelerating his impending doom of transforming into a complete monster.

Beyond that, the fight scenes and character development have become significantly cooler and more interesting. There's a very classic feel to it, making it seem like a picture-perfect manga for its time. And Izark is rapidly becoming a character that I'm quite fond of. He's extremely interesting, especially as he develops further, even though in some ways he wishes he wasn't. Additionally, the tenderness yet deep yearning and longing between him and Noriko is simply delectable. The fact that they can communicate telepathically with only each other is like the perfect finishing touch.

P.S. It appears that Banadam is developing affection for Noriko. It's a shame that we already know she won't return those feelings, at least not in a romantic sense. But if it weren't for Izark, I think those two would make a cute couple.

I really love the little horses in that world, hahaha, they are divine.

Well, the world has been expanding a bit and it also continues to show us a little (subtle, but surely!) what the characters are or could be, and I like that. Thinking about the 14 volumes that the manga has, it makes sense that everything is done bit by bit. And that also I like because the stories that develop from one day to the next never really convince me completely.

The detailed and gradual exploration of the world and the characters gives a sense of depth and authenticity. It allows the readers to truly immerse themselves in the story and get to know the characters on a deeper level. Instead of being bombarded with sudden and drastic changes, the slow reveal keeps the readers engaged and eager to discover more.

Moreover, the way the world is expanding and the characters are evolving makes the story more dynamic and interesting. It gives the impression that there is always more to come, and that keeps the readers hooked from one volume to the next.

In conclusion, I appreciate the way this manga is developing, with its slow and steady expansion of the world and the characters. It makes for a more enjoyable and fulfilling reading experience.

In the beginning, Agol poses some profound and crucial questions. "I wonder if anybody realizes what could happen once the sky demon wakes up? Can't anybody imagine how horrible it could be? How can the world hope for peace if its ruler uses the dark force of the sky demon?" These questions set the tone for what's to come.

Oh my goodness, this volume was truly outstanding! I have a deep affection for Noriko and Izark, and their reunion was an absolute delight! It was such a perfect moment that made my heart soar. I just ship these two to the moon and back! They are indeed the ultimate shojo ship!

There were numerous awesome moments and thrilling fights that I thoroughly enjoyed. Watching their relationship deepen through telepathic communication was heartwarming. It made their separation in this volume more bearable. Lord Rachef also made an appearance, and I find him to be an intriguing character. I can't quite figure out if he's a good or bad guy.

Izark really stole the show in this volume! I loved seeing him in action, kicking butt and looking absolutely amazing in every panel. His character is truly fantastic. We're also seeing Noriko grow stronger, although she still has her moments of vulnerability. Overall, this has been my favorite volume so far. The combination of action, mystery, and romance had me completely hooked, and I can't wait to see where this story takes us next!
