Finally, I managed to uncover the answer to the burning question of what would transpire with Izark! Oh, how I loathe cliffhangers!!!!

The battle rages on fiercely. Everyone reveals their true selves, and we begin to precisely understand what that implies. More than one heart is laid bare, and the consequences... will be weighty.

Overall, I remain completely engrossed in this story and can't wait to read further. Wow, this is an excellent series! Noriko didn't meekly accept her fate and go off to die - I adore how strong and defiant she is.

It's truly captivating to see how the characters develop and interact in this intense plot. The author has done a remarkable job of keeping the readers on the edge of their seats. I'm eager to discover what other surprises and twists await in the upcoming chapters.

This was, BY FAR, my FAVORITE of all!!!!

I managed to finish this in approximately 25 minutes, and I reread the last 20-some pages FOUR times!!!!!!

Oh my goodness, my freaking heart! I have been waiting for this for EVERRRRR!!!

Please, if you know, you know. Please do read it. That gave me butterflies and joy and everything in between.

I promise you, I was literally crying in my bed while reading this. I hope I get that one day, lol.

Again, if you know, you know. And if you don't, then you are truly missing out.

Can you see it?

This is the world of light. In this world, everything has merged into one in the embrace of light. I entered this magical world of light, and there, I found you.

Do you understand? We belong to the world of light. This is precisely what we have been constantly searching for. I sense a gentle energy that enwraps everything. And this energy can be felt anywhere and at any time, as long as you open your heart and let it in.

Kanata Kara by Kyoko Hikawa has been my all-time favorite Shoujo Manga since the early 90s and remains so till today. I firmly believe it will continue to hold this special place in my heart for many years to come.

Kanata Kara is truly unique as it is the only shoujo manga that can rival shounen manga. Hikawa has a remarkable talent for beautifully blending a captivating love story with an interesting adventure and exciting fighting scenes. Moreover, she also infuses some excellent moral lessons into it, making it not just an entertaining read but also a thought-provoking one.

This is my favourite of the books.

In this story, Noriko's eyes are gradually opened to the harsh reality that surrounds her. She begins to see things that she had previously overlooked or ignored.

At the same time, Izark also comes to certain important realizations. He discovers new aspects of himself and the world around him.

Their journeys of self-discovery and awareness make this book truly captivating. It shows how even in the face of difficulties and challenges, we can grow and learn.

The characters' experiences and insights add depth and meaning to the story, making it a must-read for anyone who enjoys a thought-provoking and engaging book.

I highly recommend this book to others, as it has the power to touch your heart and expand your perspective.

Yaaaas! This had everything. I love it. It's so cheesy but so good. It's like a guilty pleasure that you just can't resist. The story is full of those cliché moments that make you roll your eyes, but at the same time, you can't help but smile. The characters are charming and the plot is engaging. It's the kind of thing that you would read when you want to relax and have some fun. You don't have to think too much, just enjoy the ride. Even though it's cheesy, there's something about it that keeps you coming back for more. Maybe it's the nostalgia factor or the fact that it makes you feel good. Whatever it is, I'm hooked and I can't wait to see what else is in store.

In the previous volume, my reactions were as shown in the gifs. Now, I'm in shock, but it's the good kind. My favorite ship not only set sail but sailed around the world! Noriko is finally informed that she's the Awakening. She immediately realizes that Izark has been suffering because of her and has been too nice to push her away. I was crying along with her as the feels were just too intense. Noriko does the right thing when Izark rushes to save her from a crazy self-serving woman. She embraces him when he's almost gone insane. Thankfully, her Awakening powers or the power of love snaps him out of it. The crazy woman not only tells Noriko the truth but also intends to capture her. So Noriko goes all out on her, gets away, and then Izark runs after her. Noriko tells off Izark for keeping everything a secret, and I agreed with her. Izark tries to calm her down, but he's in the wrong. Then, Noriko runs away, and Izark finally mans up and declares his love for her. The best part? He cries! It's so attractive when a man can show his emotions and be vulnerable. I also noticed some differences in the translations, like when Izark begs Noriko to stay with him, he actually says "頼む" which means "I beg of you" and is much more romantic than just "Please". I only own a few volumes in Japanese, but I supported the author and hope VIZ will reprint this series.

I have a profound and intense feeling within me. I'd rather transform into a monster than experience the pain of losing you. :')

Izuku, you mean the world to me.

The connection between us is something that words can hardly describe. It's like a burning flame that never extinguishes.

I cherish every moment spent with you, and the thought of being apart from you is simply unbearable.

Whether it's facing challenges or enjoying the good times, I want to be by your side always.

You are the light in my darkness, and I will do everything in my power to protect you and our relationship.

Izuku, my love for you is infinite and will never fade.

This is undoubtedly the best volume of From Far Away up until now, and that truly means a great deal considering how brilliant this series is as a whole.

Our beloved hero and heroine have finally reached a point where they are on the same wavelength! The design of the Sky Demon is not only extremely creepy but also incredibly cool. It is truly impressive how the relationship between Izark and Noriko manages to delicately toe the line between being angst-ridden and sweet, all without ever crossing into the realm of being cheesy.

I have a strong sense that there is a significant amount of heartache that lies ahead for them. However, I am also eager to see how they will navigate through these challenges and what further developments their relationship will undergo.

This volume has truly left me on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating the next installment in this captivating series.

The truth is finally coming out! This is truly an exciting revelation. The pacing of the story is just perfect, keeping the readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. It builds up the tension gradually and then releases it at just the right moments.

The character development is also outstanding. Each character has their own unique personality and backstory, which makes them feel real and relatable. We get to see their growth and evolution throughout the story, which adds depth and complexity to the overall narrative.

4.25 Stars

This is definitely a must-read for anyone who loves a good mystery or thriller. The combination of a great plot and well-developed characters makes it a truly engaging and enjoyable read. I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us next!

Wow, what a confession!

It was truly a moment that took everyone's breath away. The words were spoken with such sincerity and passion that it was impossible not to be moved. The person making the confession had clearly been holding back these feelings for a long time, and now that they were finally out in the open, it felt like a weight had been lifted.

The recipient of the confession listened intently, their eyes wide with surprise and a hint of hope. You could see the emotions playing out on their face as they tried to process what was being said.

As the confession came to an end, there was a moment of silence. It was as if time had stood still, waiting for the response. And then, with a smile and a nod, the recipient stepped forward and took the other person's hand. It was a beautiful moment, one that will be remembered by all who witnessed it.

This volume truly gave the impression of being the conclusion to an extremely large arc, and I firmly believe that it was precisely that. The manner in which it ended almost resembled the finale of the first season of a television show that was uncertain whether it would be renewed for a second season or not. In fact, I'm quite certain that I've read manga in the past that had such a dissatisfactory ending without any further installments to come. So, I'm truly glad that this manga has an equal number of volumes remaining compared to what has just been completed, amounting to a total of 14 volumes.

This volume neatly wrapped up a good half of the difficulties encountered within all the previous content. By now, Noriko has become quite proficient in the native language and has adapted well to the way of life. Additionally, she and Izark have finally reached a point where they stand on equal footing with each other. Neither of them is hiding anything, and both are fully aware of and reciprocate each other's feelings. It's truly wonderful to witness Izark finally opening up to her, allowing himself to be with her, and showing vulnerability only for her. I have a deep affection for both of them, as well as for all the friends they've made along their journey. From this point forward, it seems highly likely that things will somehow manage to become even more thrilling than before.

This seventh installment of Kyoko Hikawa's fourteen-volume manga epic is truly a remarkable one.

It follows the captivating story of star-crossed lovers Noriko and Izark. Noriko, a Japanese schoolgirl, is mysteriously transported to an alien world where her coming, known as "The Awakening," has been foretold. Izark, a wandering warrior, is destined to be transformed by the Awakening into a terrible sky demon.

In this volume, there are several key developments. Izark, after magically reattaching his arm that was sliced off by Banna at the end of the last installment, races to save Noriko from the demon Mokumen and his followers. As he does so, his strong emotions begin to transform him, and by the time he confronts his enemies, he has assumed the guise of the monster he fears he is doomed to become.

Thankfully, it is Noriko who brings him back to himself. However, when the two escape from Mokumen's temple and confront the seeress Tazasheena in the woods outside of town, her revelations about their respective identities set a new crisis in motion.

Will Noriko, now aware of who she is and what she is destined to do to Izark, abandon her erstwhile protector? Will he let her? As the conclusion of this seventh volume marks the halfway point in the series, the answer is clearly not!

These two have plenty of adventures still ahead. The volume is action-packed and full of exciting fight scenes, but it also includes some lovely moments depicting the development of Noriko and Izark's relationship. Izark's confession, when he believes Noriko is leaving him, is very well done, and the scene where he kisses her is both humorous and heartwarming.

The separation of our hero and heroine from their erstwhile companions is a bit sad, but I suspect they'll be back in the story at some point. In sum, this is a strong episode in an engrossing series, and now the wait begins for episode eight to arrive in the mail.
