Customer Reviews

I loove Genbu kaiden!

The story is great and the love story is very touching. I can feel their deep love and yearning toward each other and I am happy and cry with them all through their journey. I hope that all will end well. I wonder why it takes so much time between volumes.

Amazing work

Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden is about a girl named Takiko who is transported to Ancient China through a book called the Universe of the Four Gods. This is a prequel to Fushigi Yugi The Mysterious Play. I love Yuu watase's work. She has this ability to bring you in, and make you feel as if you are actually inside the story. This series is my favorite, and I can't wait for more. My only complaint is that its taken so long to get volumes out. Volume 5 came out in Nov 2006, volume 6 came out in Jan 2008, and now we have to wait til Nov 2008 for volume 7? That is insane. I do have to say that perhaps Uruki and Takiko won't be able to be together in the end. The reason I say this is because in the Fushigi Yugi Manga, it says that no priestess has ever been able to be with the celestial warrior that she loves.
