Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden, Vol. 10

Today's manga post is on Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden, Vol. 10 by Yuu Watase. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Takiko Uruki, and Filka on it. As it is the tenth volume in the series, you need to have read the first nine volumes to understand the story. There is no foul language, mild sexuality, and action violence in this volume. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo manga, tragic love stories, and intense plots. The story is told from third person close of the characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the back of the manga- Takiko has returned to the Universe of the Four Gods! As the Celestial Warriors search for the scroll of the Four Gods, Takiko uncovers the truth about the prophecy that turned Uruki and his father into bitter enemies. But while they begin a new chapter in their adventures, Takiko struggles to conceal a terrible secret about herself from the Celestial Warriors...

Review- Takiko has returned and Uruki wants to marry her. But that would mean that Takiko cannot fulfill her destiny as the priestess. Because that would mean innocent people would continue to suffer, she refuses. Plus Takiko is hiding that she is dying from the Warriors, so the fate of the priestess doesn't brother her. Lots of plot happen in this volume as the story only has two more volumes after this one. Takiko finally meets Uruki's father and learns about this prophecy told upon his birth and the truth behind it. All the main actors are coming together and time is running out for the Warriors and Takiko, I look forward to seeing this all the way to the end. 

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

Spell of Desire, Vol. 3

Today's post is on Spell of Desire, Vol. 3 by Tomu Ohmi. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The has Kaotuko and Kanam on it in an embrace. As it is the third in the series,  you need to have read the first two volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes josei, urban fantasy manga. There is no foul language, mild sexuality, no violence. The story is told from third person close mostly following Kaoruko. There be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- When it becomes known that Kaoruko has received the power of the Witch Queen, the Black Witxhes Coven commands Kaoruko to become a Black Witch in to control her rampaging powers. But that means an incubus will take her! Will Kaname be able to help Kaoruko and placate the coven?

Review- This volume is more focused on the relationship between Kaoruko and Kaname. To be a real Black Witch, Kaoruko can't be a virgin but she doesn't want an incubus for her first time and neither does Kaname. So Kaname does what they both want and he goes to her. So now they are lovers and that causes backlash for both. Also Kaoruko thinks like a White Witch and that makes the Black Witches very uncomfortable with her. But she is a natural with magic, so she learns how to act like a Black Witch, even if she still thinks like a White one. More drama has been hinted at and I look forward to seeing it. 

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.
