FINALLY!!!!

I had to wait a really long time to get this book, but I finally got it about a month ago. Seventeen is the second to last volume in the Fushigi Yugi series, and it is just jam packed with Fushigi Yugi goodness. The whole story has come to a big climax, which I just know means that the last volume will be great. The story picks up exactly where number 16 left off, which is right after Taka's apartment blows up, and Miaka sees Tenko in the flames. Ignoring the fact that she's surrounded by news crews, and people, Miaka sends herself into the Universe of the four gods, where we get one of the few pieces of comic relief. Although, some people might not find walking up on a bunch of friends bathing is exactly fun. Well, anyway, Miaka goes to save Taka, who has been captured by Tenko. Just as Miaka and Lai-Lai get there though, Tenko is destryoing Taka's memory stones. Things continue to go down hill from there, especially when Tasuki is posessed, and some buried feelings come to the light. One of the saddest parts is when Chichiri has to face a part of his past that I don't think he was ever able to come to grips with.
