Description

“I see so much manga on a daily basis, so many commercial products… When I sat down and I started reading From This Flame I was so happy… This book is so beautiful… each chapter it has this beautiful, lovely, detailed artwork, and I just loved it… when I got to the story The God Beyond the Mountains I was just enamored with every page I was looking at… it was so good… a beautiful, short art film that speaks to their soul… This is fantastic. This is 100% a top runner in my best manga of 2022. That’s how much I loved From This Flame.” [Manga Machinations]

 

“I really enjoyed reading this collection… If I had to… define From This Flame’s overarching theme[:] ‘the weight of the inevitable’. Like a piece of candy that rolls sweetly on your tongue but sometimes gets stuck in your throat and leaves you gasping for air… I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a try, especially if you’re looking to branch out for pieces that might be out of your traditional manga/comic comfort zone and would be curious about stories that tiptoe around the border between the real and surreal” [Nora]
