WOW

This book honestly made me feel like how could yu watase write this book so sad, but then I read the last volume (volume 14) and i said "Now I know why she wrote this book the way she did, and I wish that everyone could read the 14th book and be as happy as I am now". Yu Watase is the best artist and writer that I know.

One of my favorite volumes

I started on Fushigi Yugi originally through the anime, then resorted to the manga three years ago. This has become my longest series and this volume is one of the best I have read. The action has met its climax and the rival priestess has gained her soldiers before Miaka did, making everything more interesting. And the highlight in the manga in my opinion, Nakago's cold kiss with Tamahome. ^.^ Ok so it wasn't exactly what the events were leading to but one of my favorites. Anyhow, I do like especially to this point how both Yui and Miaka have progressed and to this day, Nakago remains one of my favorite villains. If you are in to FY for the long haul, buy this one as well as the others to follow and complete your collection.

One of My Favorites (A bit of a spoiler, warning)

Another uniquely Yuu Watase manga. Ten was another one, like 5, where everything happens at once, but it is a better one to leave off on if you have too. Poor Aya is alienated, the people in school think she is a slut because of Aki, and to keep Yuhi safe she has to be terribly mean to him. She is really alone with Shurro and Chidori gone. But it isn't all bad Toya realizes, again, it doesn't matter that he doesn't remember Aya a part of his heart does and that is enough. Aya saves Toya by destroying the hypnosis machine that took Toya's memories, so he remebers her. He comes to save her and Alec helps them both to make an escape. Alec poor thing felt bad about what he did to Toya and couldn't do that to Aya. He is so cute isn't he. This one at the end is like an action movie. The illustrations are just gorgeous. I am waiting for 11.

Bittersweet

In this volume of Fushigi Yugi, Yui is on the brink of sumoning Seiryu. I'd say more, but that would seriously ruin the plot for everyone. Main characters die in this volume. The art is more beautiful than ever before, and the story can be almost heart-breaking at times. An excellent read.
