Childhood memories

bought this book for my sister and she loved it!

Great volume

This is volume two of Fushigi Yuugi. This is another great volume. Miaka and Tamahome are a great couple with a wonderful love story. In this volume, Tamahome tells Miaka about his past as they share a nice conversation in the lake. Later, Miaka finds herself face to face with a new side of herself and must find a way to rescue everyone, when she is inside a mirror. Miaka finds a way to return to her world and promises Tamahome she will come back. When she comes back she realizes that a lot of time has passed and that time is different in each world. When she is walking through the forest, she sees Tamahome and they hug, happy to be reunited in a very sweet and romantic scene. This is a wonderful volume.

The continuing of one great manga series.

The new character that appears in this book is Tai Yi-Jun. She gave the Universe of the Four Gods to Hotohori. She is pretty scary if you're not used to her. In this installment, Miaka, Tamahome, Hotohori, and Nuriko go to see Tai Yi-Jun. At the beginning of the book, Miaka doesn't feel well. Nuriko believes that if she goes back to her hometown, she will feel better. So the foursome go to Daichi Mountain to see Tai, who could help Miaka. However, there is one test needed so Miaka can prove if she really is the Priestess of Suzuku. It involves... Miaka's bad side?! Oh no!! No way I am telling you anymore than that, but I will tell you that Miaka succeeds in going back to her hometown. Highly Recommended.

Great entertaining book!

Fushigi Yugi is the 1st manga book I ever bought. It is very entertaining, definitely will make you laugh out loud! I read the summary of the story on the net before I decided to spend money on the graphic novels. Trust me, it is a totally different experience to see the real plot. Graphic novels are a good choice to buy, because you can read more in one neat book, rather than in lots of books, if you know what I mean. In case you didn't know, FY's third volume is already out-"Disciple" check it out. I personally love the art work of Watase Yuu, it has some really sophisticated, detailed graphs, as well as some funny cute ones! I just love the combination! Anyway, it is 100% worth to own the book, and an absolute page turner, oh and those hopelessly romantic scenes^~^ My e-mail address is zsunny218@hotmail.com, if you have any hesitations towards purchasing this products, feel free to ask anything,ok?

A wonderful story that goes along with wonderful art

I've been a fan of Fushigi Yuugi ever since one of my friends introduced me to it. Now I own three volumes, plus the 1st and 2nd OAVs....and still can't get enough of it. The TV series is different from the manga, the events in it are either switched around, or changed entirely. This volume covers volume 2 and the first part of volume three, and the art compliments the story well. Though I frowned a little bit when Viz used the Chinese names for most of what the TV series used the Japanese names for, I still enjoyed it very much. I cannot wait until "Disciple" comes out.

Fushigi Y?gi? Yaaay!

Lessee... Fushigi Yugi is one of the most most well written, beautifully drawn, and whole-heartedly funnyandsadandadventurousanddramaticatthesametime mangas I have ever read, and that's saying something. The only artists who parallel and surpass Watase-san's lovely, flowing, and occasionally cute artwork are CLAMP. Go Watase!
