Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, Volume 7: Castaway

Today's post is on Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, Volume 7: Castaway by Yuu Watase. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has the two main characters on it facing looking in the distance with excitement towards something that the reader cannot see. 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- Shipwrecked!
Now that the Seiryu Warriors have ruined their attempt to summon Suzaku, Miaka and her Celestial Warriors are forced to travel to a frozen northern country in hopes of gathering the sacred treasures that will grant them a second chance. Little do they know that they have made new enemies, ones who will stop at nothing to wreak their vengeance!

Review- Picking up where the last volume, the real Chiriko has appeared but the scroll of the Four Gods was destroyed by the Warriors of Seiryu and without it Miaka cannot summon Suzaku. We also learn something very important; the priestess must be a virgin so that means that General Nakago has lied to Yui about being raped. So she is angry at Miaka over a lie and is being manipulated by General Nakago for his own reasons. So off Miaka and the Suzaku Warriors go to Genbu's country to find the objects that are needed to do the summons now but so is Yui and her warriors so that she can summon Seiryu. Miaka and Tamahome have a serious heart-to-heart about what their relationship is, with the whole must be a virgin thing, and where they want it go after she summons Suzaku. I enjoyed the character development in this volume and I cannot wait see more of the island they get shipwrecked on in the last few pages.

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.
