The time has finally come! With the defeat of Tamahome's spell, Miaka can finally summon Suzaku and make her wishes. She learns that she is only allowed three, so she must choose wisely. Torn by the many promises and requests of the people, Miaka knows that her heart wants nothing more than to be with Tamahome.

But the summoning ceremony is disrupted with the exposure of a traitor. Despite all saddness and new pains that Tamahome and Miaka must now face, Miaka and her warriors prepare for another way to summon Suzaku. But their happiness is soon extinguished...

Vol 4 includes episodes #21-26 and ends the first chapter of Fushigi Yugi.

The first season of the season ends in a cliffhanger (gasp!), leaving you wanting more! I greatly respect Geneon for making Fushigi Yugi a more affordable series by spacing out the DVDs. The Suzaku boxset (which I also have) costs $200 whereas these individual DVDs will get you the same episodes in only $80 or so. The designs on the covers are very pretty (and they are reversible too). Overall, this is a great buy! Every shoujo fan should try this series! Although the first season isn't as emotionally moving as the second season (which made me cry every time I saw it), it still is a great purchase.

This is an awesome series. Full of excitement and thrills. If you enjoy an adventerous, romantic, fantasy story line I would highly recommend this series. I fell in love with this series the first time I watched it to the last episode and I still love it after 8 years since the first exposure to this series.
