Babel, Vol. 2

Single-minded optimist Shizuka and quick-witted mage Eric must brave forbidden sorcery in Candela Castle and all manner of other dangers to reach their destination, the Magic Kingdom of Farsus. Hoping to find some hint as to how to return to Japan there, they manage to receive an audience with King Lars where, in a terrible twist, Shizuku is declared an unacceptable anomaly. Will she be able to convince Lars of her humanity? And why does Eric seem to know the inside of Farsus Castle so well?
