''From Far Away'' (Japanese name ''Kanata Kara'') is a [[Shojo]] series about an [[Ordinary High School Student]] named Noriko, who is whisked into a magical world filled with dragons, deerlike horses and a world populace in fear of a being called the [[Exactly What It Says
Noriko, shortly after falling into this world, is quickly found by a man named Izark, who, initially against his wishes, takes up arms to protect the young girl. The story takes off from there, focusing on Noriko's troubles of learning about this dangerous world, its language and why her unwilling protector ''really'' doesn't like being around people.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Whilst Noriko is kidnapped by the [[Mooks]] of Lord Silent Mask, she takes a looksie into Izark's mind when he's trying to rescue her (sic) "What is this feeling? Such a swirl of emotions! Sorrow... Anxiety... Anger... Hatred... Irritation.."
* [[Badass]]: Tons, but Izark and Gaya stick out the most.
* [[Badass Damsel]]: Noriko may lack physical prowess due to being an [[Ordinary High School Student]] and a non-athletic one at that, but she's a quick thinker, [[Genre Savvy|savvy]] enough to know that she has to learn the language of the world she was thrown in, and when [[
* [[Barrier Maiden]]: With a few moonstones, Noriko graduates into this in the final battle.
* [[Big Bad]]: Rachef. {{spoiler|But he's actually just [[The Dragon]] to The Source of Evil.}}
Line 20:
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: where Izark pledges lifelong loyalty to Noriko, as a knight would.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Izark is a genderbent example. From all that glaring to actually teasing and laughing at (and with) Noriko, he comes a long way.
* [[Dragons Are Dinosaurs]]: Even though they look like the typical wyvern, there is a species of flying creatures called [http://www.tower.com/from-far-away-vol-4-kyoko-hikawa-paperback/wapi/100911261 winged dinosaurs]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Source of Evil. Keimos as well, after being influenced by the Source of Evil's malicious power.
* [[Five
** [[Big Bad]]: The [[Complete Monster|"Source of Evil"]].
** [[The Dragon]]: Rachef, though he has the qualities and motives of a [[Big Bad]].
Line 39:
* [[Manly Tears]]: Izark when looking at Noriko, who has been hurt after trying to teleport a long distance by herself to escape Rachef.
* [[Nakama]]: The main cast. Duke Jeida also seems to be trying to build this dynamic with the good leaders of other nations.
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: When Tazasheena {{spoiler|brings the Chimos into the room where Noriko is being held captive, [[What an Idiot!|thus giving the girl the means to escape]] from a place where not even telepathy with Izark can reach her.}}
* [[Official Couple]]: Banadam didn't stand a chance.
* [[One
** {{spoiler|Keimos' form in the finale could count too... [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]], check. Mouths in inappropriate places, check. Powered by an [[Eldritch Abomination]], check. [[Overly Long Gag]], check.}}
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: The whole Noriko-is-a-princess ruse exasperates said fake princess.
Line 50:
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Duke Jeida's sons, Rontarna and Koriki, whose names we don't really get to find out until Volume 12.
** [[Those Two Girls]] Anita and Rottenina, Miss Zena's assistants.
* [[Token
* [[Translation Convention]]: Done with talk bubbles. Noriko's would be in a double outline, whereas everyone else had normal bubbles. The exact opposite applied when Noriko first fell into the alt world.
* [[Say My Name]]: Noriko's constant calling of Izark. It's the first "word" she learns in the new world she's been thrown into.
Line 56:
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Waaay over on the idealistic side. It doesn't come across as being hammy, however.
* [[Walking the Earth]]: All the good guys are doing this.
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]: Every nation that Noriko and Izark have stopped by in gets to tie up loose ends with the help of the same band of protagonists. The lesser antagonists who have survived up to this point get what's coming to them, too. Even the family and friends that Noriko leaves behind in the real world get their own montage.
* [[White
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Wei of the Gray Bird Tribe.
