From Far Away, Vol. 3 by Kyoko Hikawa

3.0

This volume had some fairly heavy lifting to do in terms of the plot, as the first two books were much more character driven. We had some details already - that Noriko is The Awakening that will unleash the demon inside Izark and end the world (just normal couple problems, y'know) - but that's pretty much it. Vol. 3 introduces a lot of characters that are hunting for the two of them, and it suffers when Izark and Noriko are split up, because this exposes how flimsy the world and plot are without their 'on-screen' chemistry. Overall, From Far Away is an inconsistent but fun read so far, with a sub-par story propped up by two absolutely wonderful main characters.
