Beyond The Beyond (Sono Mukou-No Mukougawa)
Old japanese manga, first published in Indonesia at August 2006 by Gramedia (M&C
a little Plot...
Sixth grader Futaba Kudo is short for his age with three extremely overprotective older siblings. As he's walking home from school one day, a strange girl named Kiara falls from the sky, calling Futaba her master. While Futaba is trying to figure out what is going on, a woman appears and attempts to kill Kiara. After trying to perform a spell and oddly sniffing Futaba's hand, Kiara realizes that Futaba is not her master. Kiara and Futaba run from the attacking creature and hide under a bridge. While under the bridge, Futaba's cell phone rings and Kiara borrows it and drops it into the river, opening a mysterious portal. They jump into the portal, narrowly escaping the monster and arriving in a fantasy-like world.
Futaba pledges to help Kiara find her master and protect her, while also searching for a way to return to his own world. They meet Lady Belbel, a rabbit-like magician who hates being called a rabbit. A powerful-magic user who decides to travel with them. Futaba learns that Kiara is actually not human but a flower called the "Amaranthine", and is much sought after because she has incredible powers that can only be activated by her master. She can also communicate with other flowers, plants, and at brief moments with her master. Kiara and Futaba make a deal that if he helps her find her master, she will ask her master to send him home when their quest is complete.
They eventually meet Virid Visette Viridian, also known as the "Mad" Prince Virid. The younger of twin princes of the land of Viridian, he was locked away since birth because the land does not need two princes and his mother prefers his older twin. At the age of thirteen, he is to battle his brother in a duel to the death to determine the winner. His older brother released him from his cell with a message from his mother: "If you find the Amaranthine and bring it to me, you can both live." He finds Futaba and Kiara but before he can attack them, he is attacked by assassins sent to kill him. He kills both but is injured. Futaba finds him while trying to find water for Kiara and after a talk and Virid seeing Futaba's kind nature, he instead joins them, wanting to stay at Futaba's side.
Now the group of four are on a quest to find Kiara's master and trying not to get killed along the way.
