From Far Away

From Far Away is a manga that was first published in 1993 by mangaka Kyoko Hikawa.

Despite being over twenty years old, From Far Away is a surprisingly good manga. It shows its age with the older art-style, but I consider it a plus rather an a minus. The softer, beautified style enhances the magic and attraction of the story where cleaner, more realistic art wouldn’t have served.

When I try to decide who I would recommend From Far Away to, I wind up sounding like an infomercial:

“If you like pretty artwork then From Far Away is the manga for you!”

“If you like epic romances then From Far Away is the manga for you!”

“If you like demons and apocalyptic monsters then From Far Away is the manga for you!”

Takane and Hana

“Takane and Hana” is a romantic comedy manga by Yuki Shiwasu.

NOW!

BEFORE YOU JUDGE IT BY ITS GENRE

“Takane and Hana” isn’t your usual romantic comedy manga. Both Takane and  Hana are viable characters that don’t fall into the silicon molds of mass produced shojo fluff manga.
