Great romantic adventure Jun 18, 2007 reviewed by Re-Elu
The story starts off as many other shoujo manga: teenage girl Noroki gets involved in a bombing which sends her to a mysterious land without any signs of modern techniques, where people speak a different language and where mysterious creatures and powers excist. She is found by Izark and since she's all alone, she sticks with him and starts to fall in love with him. What she doesn't know, is that Izark is also known as the Sky Demon, and feared throughout the land. The art is beautiful, though it may seem a bit old-fashioned in the first volumes, since the series already started in 1992. The story is mainly a romance and an adventure. The story is very complex though and political too. Quite a long series with 14 volumes, but a great read that keeps you wanting more.

Great story May 23, 2007 reviewed by Mag
This is a great adventure. The story is well done and the art is very beautiful. The love story betwen the two carather is really deep and beautiful you'll want to know what appen in the end and you won't be able to find out how it'll finish. You won't be bored to read this serie.

Duplication of Red River, but not as good. Jun 19, 2008 reviewed by amusmental (Julie)
This opened into just about the exact same kind of story as Red River. I still really liked it, although I think Red River is better. The character's incessant babbling flipflips from funny to annoying and back again. I honestly found their inability to communicate in the beginning kind of annoying, even if it was a realistic concept (wait, does realism matter in a story based entirely in fantasy? Hmm. Lol). Once they got over that hurdle it wasn't an issue however, and I there were a lot of really likeable characters. The story was fun to follow, too. Not the kind of artwork I normally enjoy, but I got used to it quickly. I think it's definitely worth at least one read, even if it doesn't end up an absolute favorite.

Eh... Jan 26, 2008 reviewed by D
To tell you guys the truth I wasn't impressed by this series. Very predictable, it is like the template for 'falling into a different dimension' romance mangas. Sure it was cute and such, but at some points it got kinda boring. But if you like this type of manga then by all means read it, but may I suggest read others before this. This manga should be opened during a rainy day and when there is nothing else to read. (Would have given it 2 1/2 stars but there are no half stars)

Great series Aug 17, 2010 reviewed by Kaleido
This series is so much fun. It has romance with action/adventure mixed in. I love this series and like how the romance part has no drama. The romance kind of just happens and it does not get in the way of the action/adventure part.
