5.0 out of 5 stars Another solid, best-selling volume, October 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, Vol. 5, Rival (Paperback)

In the 5th volume of Fushigi Yugi manga, Miaka finds the last celestail warriors, and they go to retrieve Tamahome. Once they arrive for him, things go drastically downhill. This volume was really great. It broke my heart at the end, and I even broke down crying (I don't do that very often)! Plus my favorite character came in, ahem....uh, Chiriko. I guess.....^_^ Anyways, this is definitely a volume you'll want to secure with your collection of Fushigi Yugi. I highly reccomend it to any FY, anime, or manga fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart-breaking Tama-baby, December 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, Vol. 5, Rival (Paperback)

In this volume, after finding all the celestial warriors of Suzaku, Miaka, Chichiri, and Tasuki go to bring Tamahome back. Once they arrive, they're in for a nasty surprise. Tama's been drugged...by Yui! It seems Yui got so jealous of Miaka, that she asked Nakago for a drug to keep Tamahome there and make him love Yui. Yui is reluctant to give Tama the drug (maybe she does have some humanity!), but when Tamahome's about to leave to meet Miaka, Yui finally gives him the drug, be kissing him (guess I was wrong about the humanity). Tamahome then hates Miaka, so much that he's bent on killing her. He loves Yui now. When Miaka first finds Tamahome, she doesn't know he's changed, until he smashes all the bones in her arm. Miaka is totally in shock, but she eventually lets go of Tamahome, and the Suzaku leave. The end of this volume made me cry, it was so sad. How can best friends get so jealous, they're willing to take lives for their selfishness? Miaka needs to smack Yui. Anyways, this volume was wonderful. The manga is even better than the Anime, so make sure you get this volume!

this book is really funny. it seems a bit short but the humour and the storyline is worth it and the graphics are outstanding in all the Fushigi Yuugi books. a must buy for anime fans.(just save some for me)
