The story does not focus on love, nor does it solely focus on fighting. Just remember that the story is about our two heroes, so the secondary characters do take a back seat often.
The supporting characters are funny and fit well in complementing Izark and Noriko.

Izark is full of despair and Noriko is like a bubble of courage. The development between Noriko and Izark is beautiful and lonely and difficult. Although, I could have gone without all of the bams, thuds, screeches and any other big bolded black letters that were thrown in just about every damn fight scene! That blocked out some of the picture and kept my attention diverted which I did not like. Granted she cried out for Izark every time someone man-handled her, but could be explained by her inability to fight. She tries to take on as many problems as Izark does, she just has a better handle on things and is fluid in the way she handles things thrown at her. Noriko sees her struggles, works them out rationally, and then pursues what she can do to help her in her and Izark's quest. And Izark was their to support her as well. Izark needed Noriko in ways that only she could seem to be there for (if I remember correctly Miaka did a lot of needing, not Tamahome). They support each other and it was a much more mature relationship. But in From Far Away, Noriko and Izark take on the world saving task all by themselves. The only thing Miaka did in my opinion was find the warriors. When I was reading FY, I was always so angry with Miaka and how selfish and pathetic and whine-y she really seemed to be. Who they are and what they are is something that is resolved.Īnd it was their romance that I was so intent on reading for more for. The bond between these two is incredibly real, much more tangible than other "transported girl" plots, and you can't help but smile. Izark also sees the good in Noriko, her kindness, her worth despite her fragility. Noriko sees Izark for who he really is, inside his heart. There wasn't this "insta love connection" and "oh he's so hot". I think what kept me was the emotional bond that I could see developing between Izark (tragic hero) and Noriko (optimistic heroine) immediately. Of course the heroes have to save the world from the evil doers! You find out that she is the key to Izark and his demonic powers, and that this prophecy is all about the apocalypse. She actually has to learn the language, which Miaka does not, and she spends a lot of time here. She doesn't freak out like some child and she doesn't take for granted Izark who is helping her. So I started reading and at it first it was like all the other "girl who gets transported to some other world to save it" deal, but then Noriko is actually a very calm, very responsible girl. Noriko is so down to earth, and more mature. Because she's not some hysterical, emotional 16 year old little girl (like whine-y Miaka!). First off Noriko is 18, which hit off better with me. Miaka and these sexy guys trying to win something but there too sexy so how does that even make sense?Īnyway, I finally decided to read it. Too many guys in potential for Miaka and that was like what the whole story was about. And not that I hated FY, but Miaka pissed me off. I had assumed (never something you should do) that it would be like FY. I had been holding off on reading this one for a while. It's so much more realistic, more beautiful and Noriko could kick Miaka's ass any day. I wouldn't even hold this is competition with Fushigi Yuugi, because Fushigi would never have a chance. I can't believe that no review has been written for this beautiful manga yet.
