Name : 冰川京子 (ひかわきょうこ)

Blood type : A

Likes Jackie Chan movies and American movies like BIG. Also cats, but not enough to own one. One of her favorite activities is decorating and creating useful objects for her home. Hates mosquitoes and cockroaches. Has enormous trouble in bicycle parks.

Does mostly light-hearted comedy stories, but very entertaining. She does surprisingly great action scenes (haven't seen many shoujo artists try at a Western before!!).


Her stories ranges from cute to action, but all done unparalled attention - the drawings are refined and the storylines bring the readers into what the characters feel. Her page layouts and camera angles varies a lot, and thus keeps the interest of the reader.

This is a rather short article.

At first glance, it may seem that it doesn't possess an abundance of content.

However, upon closer inspection, one can realize that it is still capable of conveying some valuable information.

The overall quality of the item is good. However, there is a significant issue with the digital copy. It is missing 6 pages from the side story at the end. Fortunately, I had previously owned the physical copy and had read it numerous times. This allowed me to have some familiarity with the content that was missing in the digital version. Nevertheless, this glitch needs to be addressed promptly. It is essential for the publisher or the provider of the digital copy to fix this problem to ensure that all customers can have a complete and seamless reading experience. Otherwise, it may cause inconvenience and disappointment to those who rely solely on the digital copy.


Good, but digital copy is missing 6 pages

6 of the pages in the side story at the end are missing. Good thing I used to have the physical copy and read it many times before. They need to fix this glitch, though.

The best thing I have ever read is truly remarkable. It has captured my attention from the very beginning and held it firmly throughout. The main story is engaging and full of twists and turns that keep me on the edge of my seat.

But what I really love is the side story. It adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the overall narrative. The characters in the side story are just as interesting and well-developed as those in the main story. They have their own unique personalities, motives, and conflicts that make them truly come alive on the page.

The side story also provides a different perspective on the events and themes of the main story. It allows me to see things from a new angle and gain a deeper understanding of the world that the author has created.

In conclusion, this is an amazing piece of writing that I would highly recommend to anyone. The combination of the main story and the side story makes it a truly unforgettable reading experience.

I just flew through this story in one sitting.

Oh my goodness gracious! That kiss! It hit me right in the feels. GUH!

I am completely and utterly in love with this series.

I know I should probably pace myself, but where is the fun in that?

This deserves a solid 5 stars!

The way the story unfolds, the characters are so well-developed, and that kiss just added the perfect touch of romance.

I can't wait to see what happens next in this amazing series.

It has me hooked from the very beginning and I can't get enough of it.

I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a good romance with a bit of excitement and adventure.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

A hair beast launches an attack on the travelers within the White Mist forest. Izark竭尽全力 battles it. But will the reappearance of a ghostly boy enable Noriko to offer assistance as well?

As a middle school student, I didn't have a great liking for this series. Noriko seemed overly whiny and useless. However, upon rereading it as an adult, I came to appreciate Noriko's flaws. Her language skills are showing more improvement, and her sentences are becoming longer and more natural. Noriko grapples with the temptation of having her own powers and being able to aid the others. Nevertheless, what's remarkable about her character is that she starts to understand that she can be helpful just by being herself. Does she need to run? She runs. Does she need to plant a branch? She protects it with her body. Noriko learns that she doesn't require additional special powers to be useful in her own unique way.

The romance keeps developing in this volume.

The short story at the end delves into the backstory of both Izark and Auntie. This much-needed character development enriches the story in a way that the action alone cannot. Fortunately, the author adheres to the realism that makes this story so strong. Now that Izark's identity has been disclosed, I hope the story will continue to maintain its realism and also provide development for the villains such as Keimos and Lord Nada, who were completely absent in this volume.

Izark is unfortunately captured by the hair monster.

Noriko, on the other hand, becomes separated from the others. However, she is assisted by the spirit of the morning mist tree, Irktule. With the combined efforts of Izark, Noriko, and Irktule, they manage to destroy the evil that has been plaguing the forest and free the souls of the villagers. But having used up all his energies, Irktule falls into a deep slumber, leaving the villagers' souls to guide them out of the forest via Geena.

Just as they reach the border of Guzena, the evil takes possession of a rock bird and launches an attack on Noriko and Izark. Noriko gets injured, and in order to save her life, Izark transforms into the sky demon. He is filled with the fear of Noriko's rejection. But to his surprise, Noriko expresses her love for him and begs him not to leave her again, only to faint shortly after.

Izark then returns to his normal form and carries Noriko back to the others, who have been searching for them.

Special side story: Gaya is sharing with Noriko and Geena the story of how she met Izark.

The original article seems to be rather short and perhaps lacking in detail. Here is an expanded version:

The product or service in question has received a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars. This score indicates that it has a certain level of quality and performance, but also has room for improvement.



Customers who have tried it may have had a mix of experiences. Some might have been satisfied with its features and functionality, while others might have found some aspects less than ideal.



Perhaps the product could benefit from enhancing its user interface to make it more intuitive and user-friendly. Additionally, improving its durability or reliability could also boost its overall appeal.



Despite its flaws, the 3.5-star rating still shows that there is potential for this product or service to grow and succeed. With the right adjustments and improvements, it could potentially reach a higher level of customer satisfaction and receive a more favorable rating in the future.
