Fushigi Yugi, Volume 9: Lover

Good Quality!

Yu Watase, Fushigi Yugi: Lover (Viz Publications, 1993) Fushigi Yugi has been getting darker and more complex with each episode; it's turrned into an epic fantasy under our very noses, and without us even noticing. Go figure. Miaka and co., thwarted from summoning Suzaku, are now trying to get to the Shentso-Pao, an artifact of unknown type that will allow them a kind of backdoor to summoning Suzaku. Unfortunately, it'll also work for summoning Seiryu, so Yui and the Seiryu celestial warriors are after it as well, and they have a plan... Somewhere along the way, this story-- previously a fun, kind of cute, little diversion-- got gripping. While it still handles things in a predictable kind of way for anyone who's ever heard a description of one of the old serial movies, it resists being episodic somehow. I'm still trying to figure out how Watase pulls that off. If you're already a manga fan, this is definitely a series worth picking up; if you're new to the world of manga, Fushigi Yugi would be an excellent starting point. What are you waiting for? *** ?

I love the fushigi yugi series sooooo much! This one is one of my favorites of the series and IT"S JUST GREAT! but why'd nuriko have to go and die? and just as she/he/it was about to start being a man again?!?! ITS NOT FAIR!(...) but anyway i love the WHOLE series so you HAVE to read it!

I just love the series Fushigi Yugi,I really do! To confess,I didn't even think of reading this series,it was my mom! yes,my mom who's 35 thank you very much,(hey,I'm only 11,okay, sue me!)I love All the characters but my really favorite that I ranked as a 15 out of 10 were Miaka,Tamahome,Chichri,and Nuriko.I really liked Nuriko (don't get any ideas!)until she/he died,but even though Nuriko was a man I thought of her as a woman and sort of half sister of Miaka and I thought to myself,"why did she half to die?! why,why,why?! and I cried and cried in my room.But not to be mean but I'm not happy with the way the ending turned out in this book.And you would to if you've read all the books I've read.(10 times each book)and I don't know why Ms.Wastase likes Nakago.(my mom called him Namatamago "raw egg" in Japanese this morning.)ha ha.I ABSOLUTLEY HATE HIM!!!HE'S SOOO HORRIBLE!!!!IF YOU SAW WHAT HE DID TO MIAKA AND I DON'T LIKE YUI EITHER..er....wait if you read this....without reading the book....AHHHHHHH!!!I'DOING IT AGAIN!!!I'M SPOILING THE FUN OUT OF READING THIS BOOK!!!I'M SO STUPID!!!!Sorry,I get carried away with stuff like that.But please try to undrstand what I feel.Fushigi Yugi is the most wonderful series EVER.PERIOD.And if that won't convince you this might:Fushigi Yugi is the most funny,tearful,wonderful,ect,and please take it from a complete manga "comic book in Japanese"reading maniac.I've read and tried 11 different manga series's but this overall is the best.

It was really good, they left behind that cared to miaka the most not tamahome and not hotohori....he cam e in the begining of the series...ypu you guessed it, it really made you cry, hey it made me cry.

One of the best books i read,very sad, The gang left a treasure behind for the memory- im not telling who it is but is sad ;-;Poor Tasuki was the one who was crying the most. Then they all left in sorrow to go north. Please read this book its worth every penny....
