Today's post is on Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, Volume 12: Girlfriend by Yuu Watase. It is 183 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has the two main characters on it facing facing the reader with excitement. 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- Girlfriend
A god is summoned, a wish is granted, and all is not right with Miaka Yuki! The good empire of Hong-Nan is overrun with enemies; Celestial Warrior powers useless; and Miaka finds herself back in the real world unable to help her friends! Can a young woman transform herself from a priestess back into a simple girlfriend?
Review- Yui summons Seiryu and she starts using her wishes. She sends both herself and Miaka back to the real world but Tamahome goes with them by not letting Miaka go. In the outside world, he learns that he is a character in a book. That gives him an identity crisis but he comes through it and decides that he loves Miaka and she loves loves him and that is enough. I really have no idea where Watase is going with the story now. What does it mean that Tamahome and others from the book can come into the real world? What is going to happen to Yui when she uses her last wish for the General Nakago and makes him a god? Yui is getting weaker every time she uses a wish, so I'm sure that she is going to die but after that what then? Watase has me fully engaged in the story now and with only six volumes left thing are getting real serious.
I give this manga a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
