Today's post is on Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, Volume 13: Goddess 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- Nakago has entered the real world to collect on Yui's promise to grant him the third and final Seiryu wish. But his wish may have had the greatest consequence of all for Yui! Miaka summons Suzaku, but it is too late to protect her world and the world of the book?
Review- This is the end of the first part of Fushigi Yugi. Everything comes to a head and explodes into an unexpected ending. I did not know that Watase broke Fushigi Yugi into more than just one major plot arc. So having all the plot threads just wrapped up and done was odd. Miaka summons Suzaku and saves everyone, even though we know from the previous priestess that should not be possible as the god should devour the priestess as the ending of the summoning. So we have Miaka and Yui living their lives back in Tokyo and they are better people for their experiences but Miaka still loves Tamahome and then he finds her somehow. I am very curious about where part two is going to go from here, I just have no idea about where Watase can go and how she can make it blend with the first part of the story.
I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
