Galaxy Angel, Volume 2 Book

"You can never imprison hope."


It's so great to not have to rush through a series. I take my time with this gem because I honestly don't want it to end-even though it will in 3 volumes. For this entire ride, I have never once thought poorly of the story, art or characters. I've only held each element in high regard, and I sincerely hope that for once, a happy ending bequeaths these characters. And I don't usually wish for that, since happy endings aren't always realistic and can turn something cheesy. With From Far Away though, I want that happy ending, even if it's cheesy.


Izark and Noriko travel to another city and there they are met with hostility from the street officials. The corruption has spread so far that even the people fear protesting against injustices done to them. And Hydran, a powerful politician, is dragging a potential ally, Secretary Clairgeeta, to his death.

To pay for their lost items and to afford a room to sleep in, Izark agrees to perform for the crowd to draw them to their shop, where his talents are witnessed by Arkarella Son Dororev. Arkarella invites them to stay the night at his place in return for a performance in front of Hydran. They agree, but Arkarella's younger brother Salier, one of the street officials that tried to cause trouble with Izark, is against the idea.

Clairgeeta, the captured Secretary, believes that the Sky Demon is capable of good, and Izark and Noriko are desperate to rescue this man. They agree to all of Arkaraella's wishes all while coming up with a plot to set Clairgeeta free. Little do they know that more allies lurk in the dark, one being a Constable, Lori.

And that revelation suddenly makes the two realize that they might not have a lot of time with each other. Despite how much Izark and Noriko care about each other, so many things could go wrong. And Izark is having a terrible time accepting this.

Despite their plan's success, Hydran sends out the Brunei brothers to capture Clairgeeta. These two can transform into terrible beasts and their bloodlust is frightening. Izark jumps in to rescue them, but will he be able to hold them off?
