Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden, Vol. 09

Today's manga post is on Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden, Vol. 09 by Yuu Watase. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Takiko in front of her Warriors. As it is the ninth volumes in the series, you need to have read the first eight volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes fantasy, romance, and shojo manga. The story is told from third person close of the different characters. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence. 

From the back of the manga- Determined to live the life of an ordinary girl in Tokyo in 1923, she returns to her father's home and concentrates on being a loyal daughter--and, soon, a dutiful bride. But she can't leave her other life behind. And while Takiko struggles to cool her still-burning heart, the Celestial Warriors battle through a new ice age!

Review- Back in her own world, Takiko tries to be normal but discovers that she has the same disease that killer her mother. So facing the fact that she is going to die either way, Takiko chooses to go back to Uruki and the Warriors. I'm not sure how I feel about that plot twist with Takiko going to die not matter what. I feel that makes her future sacrifice less emotional because there is no other way for the story to end. But I am going to see this story to the end and maybe I will feel differently. 

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own my money.
