Today's post is on Fushigi Yûgi: The Mysterious Play, Vol. 17: The Demon by Yu Watase. It is 193 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover is Miaka and Take with Suzaku behind them. It is the seventeenth in her long running series and you need to have to have read the rest of the series to understand what is going on. There is no foul language, mild sexuality and mild violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main character Miaka. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- An enormous explosion rocks Taka's apartment complex with Taka is inside, and as fire engulfs the building, an image of the demon god Tenko appears in the flames Could Taka have been injured in the blast, or, worse, have fallen into Tenko's clutches? When Tenko steals the four stones that Miaka has already collected, is all hope lost for the return of Taka's memories? And will Tenko's manipulation of Taka and Miaka's friends slowly drive wedges between them and ensure their defeat?
Review- So much drama in this volume from Tasuki getting mind controlled to finding the 'real' Tamahome at the end, little bit of everything happens. Taka is trying to discover if he is real or not, does Miaka really love him or is he just a shadow of Tamahome? The memory stones are gone but they may have been used to create the Tamahome that we see at the end of the volume. So much as happened in this series and I am very curious about how this is going to end and if any more characters are going to die to save both worlds.
I give this this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
