바람의 저편 02권

이자크 is overcome by a mysterious illness which leaves him incapacitated while 노리코 worriedly watches over him. When their enemies learn of 이자크's condition, they close in, hoping to take advantage of his weakened state, but this wandering warrior shouldn't be underestimated...

Another thrilling action-packed volume! 이자크 displays his superhuman strength and proves himself a difficult target for his enemies to take down, but we also catch a glimpse of the pain and suffering it has caused himself and others in his past. 노리코, too, displays an impressive show of strength, though in a different manner from 이자크, and we see some brief memories from her life in our world.

I've grown even more attached to 노리코, and find her to be a very sympathetic heroine - her resolution to do whatever she can to help those around her despite her difficult situation makes her incredibly likeable. We also see 이자크 seem to soften a little and let down his guard around her, though the painful memories he carries with him help us understand why he holds people at arm's length.

I'm looking forward to seeing what adventures wait in store for our protagonists in the next volume!
