Today's post is on Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, Volume 4: Bandit 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- After being drawn into the world of a strange book with her ex-best friend and now-enemy Yui, Miaka searches to find the remaining three Celestial Warriors, leading her into the lair of bandits and to a plague-curses town.
Review- Lots of plot happens with Yui demanded that Tamahome come with her and stay as hostage. He does it to save everyone but Miaka is of course over the top about getting him back. So much so that she almost gets eaten by a demon. But she gets out ok and finds another warrior. Tamahome is in a really bad place because he tries to go back to help Miaka and gets tortured by the enemy general. Yui is in love with Tamahome as well so that is going to make things so much harder for everyone including herself. The enemy general is going to be a really bad guy if not the ultimate baddie. He is doing stuff behind the scenes that we are just getting hints of but Yui has no idea about. Watase is a master plotter and I am very curious about where the plot is going.
I give this volume a Five out Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
