About the series
From Far Away is a sweeping fantasy manga originally serialized from 2004 to 2007 by Viz, following a modern Japanese schoolgirl who is mysteriously transported to a war-torn, medieval fantasy world. Created primarily by writer-artist Kyoko Hikawa, with translation and adaptation work from Trina Robbins and Yuko Sawada, and additional art by Walden Wong, the series is known for its lush, detailed artwork and a slow-burn romance set against a backdrop of political intrigue and magical prophecy. Spanning 14 issues, it stands as a notable shojo import that helped introduce English-speaking readers to Hikawa's richly imagined, emotionally resonant storytelling.
