5.0 out of 5 stars love it!, June 8, 2004

I own all the anime and am currently working my way through the manga. I just love this series, even though Miaka can be annoying. All the other characters make up for that! In this volume, Miaka is helped by someone she thought had died, and she is found by a Seiryu Celestial Warrior. Miaka ran away from Tamahome in the previous book (it seems like she's always running off - she really should learn better communication skills), because she thinks she is no longer a virgin, capable of being Priestess of Suzaku. Watase's artwork is beautiful, and I love the comments sections that she occaisionally adds on the side. There are even a few (only a few, so don't get your hopes up) extras in the book, such as a "What's so fushigi about Fushigi Yuugi?" comic strip. This volume is fairly late in the series, so I would recommend reading some of the earlier volumes first, but this series is really very good.

Yu Watase, Fushigi Yugi: Enemy (Viz Publicatins, 1994)

Here we are at volume 10 of Fushigi Yugi. Watase throws a minor twist in here that some of the fans seem less than thrilled with. Eh, well, you can't please everyone.

Miaka and the Suzaku celestial warriors have been separated for reasons that can't be revealed without spoiling book nine. Long story short, Miaka ends up sick and being cared for by an old couple whose son, Miaka is convinced, is Seiryu celestial warrior Amiboshi returned to life...

If this issue slips a notch in quality from the last one, it's because the whole Amiboshi/not-Amiboshi questino isn't handled all that well; perceptive readers will know the answer to that one long before Watase actually answers it. Other than that, though, everything's going along swimmingly. ***

1.0 out of 5 stars Ehhh...., June 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, Vol. 10 - Enemy (Paperback)

I LOVE Fushigi Yugi, but this book wasn't my favorite... It was really dramatic, lots of action, and every page left you with a cliff hanger, but it was borderline cliche... I hope the next book gets back to the storyline, as this one was a big drawn out arguement over who ways gonna de-virginize (thats not even a WORD) Miaka. I would recomend this book to any FY fan, though. But don't let your parents read it... o.O; mine were like, "Er......soap opera?"
