From Far Away, Vol. 2 by Kyoko Hikawa

4.0

I am absolutely in love with the two main characters of this series. I don't think I've ever seen the language barrier acknowledged in a portal fantasy before, and it makes for some really sweet scenes and clever dramatic irony. It also shows how intelligent and resourceful the heroine is too, despite not being strong or knowledgeable about the world she's in. It seems like the plot and world building take a back seat to the characters in From Far Away, but I think it works so far because their personalities are so well rendered.
