Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden, Vol. 03

Today's manga post is on Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden, Vol. 03 by Yuu Watase. It is 189 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Celestial Warriors Limdo and Namame with the Orcale Anlu. 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 shojo, epic story lines, and beautiful art. There is no foul language, no sex, and violence in this manga. The story told from third person following different characters as needed for plot development. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the back of the manga- Takiko has found three Celestial Warriors, but four remain hidden. While she and her friends journey to the Oracle Anlu, who may have the power to locate the remaining warriors, Limdo travels undercover with the army of Qu-dong. At Turning Point Rockfield, their destinies will intertwine again...and Takiko will learn that her quest is more difficult than she imagined. If she's already located three of the seven warriors, why does the Oracle claim there are five still to be found?

Review- Takiko knows that she has more enemies than friends, so she decides to seek help in finding the other Celestial Warriors. But she is hunted from all sides and her enemies are willing to kill any who help her. Takiko learns a lot in this volume, not just about the world around her but about how she needs to interact with it, with an open heart. She has been holding herself back, because she plans to go home, so she has not fully committed to this quest until faced with the newest Warrior, Namame. I liked seeing her embrace her chosen path and I look forward to seeing where her new resolve will take her. 

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.
