SynopsisA prophecy of doom, passed down from generation to generation, has finally arrived. Manifest in the form of a young girl named Noriko, the awakening promises a new world of frightening uncertainty.
But not everybody lives in fear of this ancient prophecy. Slowly, a group of sympathizers has come together to befriend and protect the vulnerable teenager. One of them, a valorous warrior by the name of Izark, continues to stay by her side despite the danger and complications that lie ahead.
In an attempt to avoid capture, Noriko and her band of allies travel into the White Mist Forest. Danger lurks everywhere, however... especially in this infrequently traveled wildwood!
Review
There is nothing to complain about in this book. I think the events and characters are all logical and normal. I've said before that this is one of the only manga that never annoyed me.
Izark and Noriko finally meet up with each other again, and we learn a strange secret about Izark -- he might be the sky demon. (Actually, I knew this a long time ago, but didn't want to spoil it.) Now I'm really curious exactly how Noriko will "awaken" him. This explains a lot about him too, why he was looking for the awakening, why he wanted to kill her but didn't, and why he left her with a friend. He wanted to kill this awakening because it would do something to him that he didn't want it to do, but when he saw her, he couldn't, because she was innocent, and had no idea what was going on. Finally, I think he left her with a friend because he didn't know what she could do in the future.
The separation wasn't a bad thing, though, as they discovered they could communicate telepathically. Why isn't really explained, but it's interesting, and will probably be useful in the future.
Final thought: I have to keep reading!
