Customer Reviews

One of the Best shoujo series' ever!

This was an awesome buy. I don't usually have the money to afford lots of manga titles, but I have the whole series of this one. The heroine isn't overshadowed by the hero which is my favorite type of shoujo. Anyway, I'd recommend this to anyone. I even recommended it to my husband, who's too much of a 'man' to read this sort of thing anyway.

Love my new book!!

I am very happy with this book! It has a great story line and some really beautiful artwork. The story line really sucks you into it! Since this one is not available new for some reason, I got it used. The dealer said is was like new and it came as promised. Its in great condition! It arrived in only a couple of days, so that really impressed me. In the end, I would be happy to make another purchase from this dealer.

Onward to the Path of Light

Volume 13 starts with Izark confronting Racheef's army and sending them away from the City of Enna-Maria. Noriko is then kidnapped and abused by Racheef who tries to force her to become his. Noriko rejects him and Racheef abuses her because he cannot stand being ignored. This is the first time in the story that Racheef reveals his motifs and what drives him to take over the world. He has a need to be fulfilled; unfortunately he does not realize that what he lacks is a Soul. Noriko late escapes with the surprising help of Taza-sheena, who offer her the Chimos, She also neglects to inform Noriko that to port with them might kill her. Izark is frantic and almost transforms into the Sky Demon, but is saved when Noriko ports in front of him, but she collapses and almost dies if not for the help of Irk and the forest spirits. Izark seeing the fragile and hurt Noriko, vows to finally confront their enemies and defeat them. Noriko in the meantime is kept safe by her friends and the citizens of Enna-Maria. The volume ends with Izark confronting Keimos, and Racheef's unholy sand army attacking Enna-Maria.
