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.
the best action-fantasy manga I've ever read. The story is very detailed, the characters were build up very well, love story is not too cliche and the lines are so deep. This manga is truly a work of art and a masterpiece.
setelah lama tidak membaca manga, akhirnya saya memilih Kanata Kara (From Far Away) sebagai pembuka puasa.
Pada volume pertama, saya masih berpikir manga ini memilih tema klise seperti manga action-historical romance pada umumnya. Namun saya salah. Perkembangan karakter utama dan beberapa karakter tersusun dengan baik. Demikian pula jalan cerita. Hal yang semula ditakutkan karena ramalan bahwa akan ada iblis yang saat kuat (Sky Demon) dan kekuatan yang membangkitkannya (The Awakening), ternyata bisa ditafsirkan dengan makna yang berbeda. Sisanya baca sendiri yah :p
Ada dua hal inti yang saya tangkap dari manga ini : 1) Jalan hidup adalah pilihan pribadi. Jangan menyerah pada hal-hal yang sudah ditakdirkan. 2) Jangan remehkan kekuatan cinta. Cinta di sini bukan sekedar cinta romantis dengan lawan jenis, melainkan cinta secara universal. Cinta yang sulit dilakukan karena kau harus memaafkan musuhmu. Dan musuh terbesarmu bisa jadi adalah dirimu sendiri.
I young girl gets whisked away from this world to become either the savior or the doom of another. These were awesome. The characters were funny. It was complex without being weighed down to much with details and it has a happy ending.
