Today's post is on Fushigi Yûgi: The Mysterious Play, Vol. 18: Bride 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 eighteenth 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- Bride: Miaka has been fighting a battle across two different worlds to keep Taka, the human incarnation of her true love Tamahome, from vanishing. But what could it mean when Tamahome himself returns to confront Miaka and Taka? The answer to this riddle leads Miaka and the Seven Celestial Warriors to the stunning finale of the best-selling Fushigi Yûgi series.
Review- What an ending to an incredible series. Miaka and Taka are the only ones who can summon Suzaku to save both worlds. Their true love stops the bad guy from winning and they get to live happily ever after. This series has everything in it from betrayal, true love, kung-fu fighting, gods, different worlds, and everything else I cannot think to list. The characters were so interesting, the plot was very intense and you just never knew what was going to happen next, and the art was just Five star by itself. I know that some readers have some problems with some of the plot or characters but in general I have enjoyed every moment of this series. There is a reason this series is a classic of the shojo genre and I would recommend this series.
I give this this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
