Summary: Great Once Again
Review: The latest installation to the Fushigi Yugi series is a little bit of everything. The dreaded pressure of romance, the fun (:and aching for the Celestial Warriors:) adventures, edge-of-your-seat suspense, thorns along the rocky path, and last but not least, here's a discreet hint: a sly, changed, and interested person. Hmmm...it's more interesting than I can describe it to be. ;)
This may be a general overview but describing the book any more would be giving you the whole story. You wouldn't want that. You definitely want to experience this book by yourself.
Variety is what I call entertainment. Oh, and an absolutely stunning cliff-hanger helps, too...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Romantic
Review: This book was very romantic and entertaining! I really liked the action parts, since there was usually a lot of romance mixed in with them. I do think that some parts were unnessecary and simply used to add some inappropriate content to the book. Being that I love romance, this was one of the best Japanese comics I've ever read! For me to truly enjoy romance manga (and I know I've said this before) the main boy has to be someone that I would like if I was a manga character. Tamahome reminded me of Darien from "Sailor Moon", risking his life to save the main girl! It was those parts that I enjoyed most.

Overall, if you love romance and Japanese comics, I recommend this to you! It is very absorbing and enjoyable! But keep in mind that there IS unnessecary content such as Tamahome walking in on Miaka when she's shirtless.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great introduction into manga
Review: This is the first manga/graphic novel I've ever read, and it was fantastic! I'm afraid I can't compare it to anything as, like I said, it was the first, but it's gotten me hooked onto manga now and I have the next two volumes coming already!!

Miaka is your average middle school Japanese student trying desperately to get into a good high school. She's not the brightest or the dumbest, she's average in the best sense of the word and a daydreamer to boot. She and her friend Yui end up in the library and find a mysterious book, which after they read the first few pages sends them into a world based on ancient China. After meeting a mysterious young man who saves them from slavers the two girls are whisked back to their own world, but ever-curious Miaka goes back to the library the next day after a fight with her mother and gets transported back to this world. There, she meets back up with the young man, Tamahome, who again saves her, then gets thrown into a dungeon by the emporer after attempting to prove to Tamahome she really wants his company. And then comes the real surprise as to why she's on this world in the first place!

This book is great, I definitely recommend it to anyone. I'm glad the first three manga volumes are out, this is something I just don't want to end. The fourth won't be out until July (*sad sniff*) but i've already got it preordered. If you like the anime series, or just want to get into another great Shojo manga, this is definitely for you. Handsome guys, a regular girl like you or me (if you're a girl, if not never mind *g*), and a mystical realm: what more can one ask for? :-)

Rating: 4 stars
