reviewed Fushigi Yugi, Volume 1: Priestess on April 12, 2009 Fushigi Yugi, Volume 1: Priestess
I will admit that I only purchased a copy of this manga because I loved the anime so much. I have been a fan of that series for the longest time and whenever I go back to watch it, it never disappoints.
In "Fushigi Yûgi, Volume 1: Priestess" we are introduced to Miaka Yuki who is an ordinary junior high-school student, suddenly whisked away into the world of a book, "The Universe of the Four Gods". There she becomes the priestess of the god Suzaku, and is charged with finding all seven of her Celestial-Warrior protectors.
For those unfamiliar with this manga series or the show itself, the main characters that are introduced in this first volume is Miaka Yuki (the main character, a 15 year old who's mother is making her study for her high school entrance exam and depriving her of fun; and later on transforms into The Priestess of Suzuku), Tamahome (a gorgeous guy who saves Miaka and her best friend Yui when they first go into Universe of the Four Gods, he expects to be paid whenever he helps someone; also a constellation of Suzuku), Hotohori (the Emporer of Hong-Nan; he is one of the seven constellations of Suzuku who cares deeply about Miaka) and Nuriko (a girl who is actually a guy; he has a thing for Emperor Hotohori and doesn't like Miaka; incidentally represents another constellation of Suzuku).
The series may seem very light-hearted, but it eventually evolves into a grim epic filled to the brim with sorrow, death, sabotage, and other unfortunate events. You'll fall in love with characters like Tamahome, Hotohori, Tasuki, Amiboshi, Suboshi, and Tatara at first sight, but others, such as Miaka, Nuriko, Yui, and Nakago grow on you over time. Still others, namely Tomo, Miboshi, and Tai yi-Jun will never appeal to you.
Fushigi Yugi has a great balance between adventure, romance, comedy and action. If you've never read shojo manga before, this series is a great place to start.
