Today's post is on Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, Volume 3: Disciple by Yuu Watase. It is 189 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has the two main characters on it facing the reader. The intended reader is someone who likes historical fantasy, high fantasy, romance, and shojo stories. There is mild foul language, mild sexuality, and violence in this story. The story is told from third person close of the main characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- The Mysterious Dicsiple
Miaka Yuki is suddenly spirited into the world of a book. The Universe of the Four Gods. Surrounded by enemies with mystic power, she can only rely on her Celestial Warriors and a mysterious monk, a disciple of the oracle, to help her fulfill her quest! Miaka's best friend, Yui, also enters the book, but suffers a fate much crueler than Miaka's.
Review- We pick up right where the last volume left off with Miaka disappearing in front of Tamahome but it was Chichiri another Warrior of Suzaku. Miaka is in great danger now because the kingdom of Qu-Dong, the kingdom of Seiryu, is hunting for her now. But Miaka is more concerned with her missing friend Yui, who has disappeared into the book also. We get a lot of plot movement in this volume with some added character development but not too much of that. Yui is the priestess of Seiryu and she believes that Miaka has abandoned her. But there is someone else who is pulling Yui's strings and I think that the real villain is one of the Warriors of Seiryu. He is controlling what Yui sees and he is pulling her towards something but we did not see much of him. But Miaka and Tamahome have a problem with being in love with each other and Yui having a crush on Tamahome herself; all the Drama! But I am invested in this story and characters and I cannot wait to continue traveling with them.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
