For an older manga, the art was beautiful and the story line was also beautiful! It's similar to Fushigi Yugi but the main characters are different and there are different objectives and plot lines too.

The main character is very likeable even though she's a bit naive and doesn't do much to help out. She very cute and usually in stories where the character travels to another world I don't like the main character but in the manga I kept rooting her until the very end.

This manga is a great adventure story for all! This is one of my favorite mangas that I have read for than once. This manga can eaqually match up to Fushigi Yugi!

typical shojo. acceptable art. very nice ending, good beginning, but the middle....sometimes good, but later on just stupid.
if you're a shojo-fan, read it in one go. If not, don't even touch the manga, for your own sake.
The characters weren't that great. Noriko is so STUPID, naive and your typical helpless goody-goody. I wished she would have at least tried to learn a bit self-defense. - o wait, maybe she did, but never tried it earnestly.

Truth to be told, I skipped volume 13 and only read half of 12. But I wanted to know whether the girl goes back or not, so I quickly flipped through volume 14.
Well. I don't reccomend it to anyone besides romantic- and shojo-freaks. The last few pages were really good and the beginning was also kind of realistic (because of the language), but the rest isn't really worth it.

This is really lovely and so adorable.
When I read it, it became my favourite manga.
I simply loved it. Also the drawings were cute, and Izark was handsome (A)
Normally I don't really like the kind of girls who can't do anything on their own, but Noriko was simply cute and adorable.
I really fell in love with this manga. xD

Really fall in love with Izaku with his cool, calm and tenderness, and also care to Noriko!
I wonder will I got a guy like him someday... ;p
Don't miss this manga for romance manga-lovers!
They are really a perfet couple!

I wasn't into adventure and this type of artwork actually. But.. meh. Just give it a try. At first, I was soooo hate it. The artwork look's old and the girl not so tsundere. I kept on downloading it and become so addicted. So unexpected. The Izark so bishie and their adventures keeps me running along.

On top of that, the storyline.. plot, even the mood was created beautifully and the artwork seems gorgeous in no second in my eyes. The story was getting stronger and stronger and I know the purpose and the reason why Izark met Noriko.

The story is different from any other "Shoujo" and girly-girly romance like I love you and let's go to Love Hotel. This two couple more honest and pure in their love.

Eventually, this is highly recommend by me. If you're not into adventure, maybe you will hook up soon.

It was an okay read. It didn't keep me captivated like I hoped it would. Anatolia Story was better... This story was a little far-fetched, though I give it extra points for being original. Good enough to read, but not the best.
I think I'm being a little nice on my rating...

i love it!! all their adventures... the drama...the action...the fantasy...the suspense...i really love the story!!!

first of all i really like the heroine!! Noriko is such a good heoine to play this part...i mean she isnt really a badass- kickass girl but she isnt whiny either...isnt it cute how she tries to help them in her own little way!! thats just so sweet...theres no doubt why Izark fell for her...

as for Izark...i rrrrrrrreallyyyyy love this guy!!! i mean he was so cooool!!! everybody's hero!!! the character development in him is the best!!!

oh yeah...about the antagonists...when i think about Racheff...i felt kindda sorry for him...all he need was love afterall...

the only flaw that i can think of is that they didnt go all lovey-dovey...i mean they kissed for three times and the 3rd one is only a smack...but even so i think that Izark is really sweet for not making Noriko do things <ya know what i mean> because things all cause problems as ive seen in cliched mangas...besides that said...i really love this couple...

another thing about this manga that i liked is that the characters isnt all major bishoujos and bishounens...there is variety...im getting sick when everybody is so pretty that they all look kindda the same...

in short this is a really great piece of work!!! you people just gotta read this!!!

I'm reading Kanata Kara for the second time around and still like it very much. How strange, I usually dislike the weak woman - strong man setting but in this manga it doesn't bother me one teensy bit. Rather, it feels natural somehow. And the female protagonist isn't actually that weak, not mentally anyway. nor is she a crybaby. So, yeah, likeable characters, likeable setting, interesting plot, doesn't make me want to grind my teeth together and slap some sense into the girl... in other words, ten out of ten ^^.

I also like Hikawa Kyoko's art very much. It's a bit old fashioned, hasn't changed much in the basic level throughout the years, but I like it. Her characters mirror feelings easily without being melodramatic, and their movement is natural and easy. Lovely.

Don't look me stupid, but it tasted Fushigi Yuugi. True, i am searching a manga, that same Fushigi yuugi and finally i found, but i really think, that very very very same... But it don't wrong. I like very much

I dont' find the girl annoying and stupid...
Yes i must admit she is sometimes found whether useless but who could blame her? i pity her being in a place with no one to reply on expt on the guy...
Like her, i will cling on to like a kitten...
i like how they can hear each other in thought........how convinent is that? there's no need for cellphone...
It's quite sweet...i iwsh there's more kissing scene though.........lol......
they should really end up with a marriage.........i know they are together forever.......but won't a wedding be great!

Recommand to all who love fantasy/romance........ppl who love hero rescuing the damsel in the tower..........
