From Far Away #01 — Teenage Indecision

October 4th, 2026

 

She sure adapted to being helpless quickly.

I have a dental cleaning first thing tomorrow morning, so stuff will absolutely be delayed.

Impressions:

And a more classical shoujo isekai thing, though still only going through the motions. Confusingly at that. They're both speaking Japanese, then one has a pulse and says "I don't understand your language." Okay, so we're doing it like… uh… that? Then no, the other starts speaking gibberish… except goes back to Japanese again at random, occasionally announcing "We're not actually talking because we don't understand each other's language" in case you forgot. Commit one way or the other. It's not even like they're saying anything that isn't obvious by context clues, like "watch out, giant worm" or "come this way."

It's just the usual Fushigi Yuugi or Inuyasha schlock though. A particularly helpless damsel this time, who instantly physically throws herself at the dude and by the end of the episode has sworn her soul and entire being to him despite the sum total of anything happening was one random pulsating worm. Which is another point of bizarre juxtaposition where she panics and yells that she can't abandon her old life, then immediately thinks wait, maybe I should. He is my one and only after all. Teens, am I right? He, meanwhile, broods. Cool characters. I think I connect most with the dead worm.
