All of this is pretty standard in this type of portal fantasy but that's exactly what I am here for. Of course she falls in love with one of them and there's the big drama or which world she will end up staying in. For this, she needs to pull together some preordained set of warriors who fight by her side. It turns out that this manga has some of the worst pacing I have ever come across.Īt its core, the story is pretty straight forward: Miaka is your normal school girl who comes by a magic book, gets pulled into an ancient fantasy world and is sent on a quest to collect items that will help her save the world she's in. Eighteen volumes seemed like the perfect length and there was just no way I wasn't going to love this. It's a portal fantasy quest story with Chinese lore and it's not ridiculously long like many of its peers (I'm looking at you Inu Yasha and Yona of the Dawn).
I love Watase's art - this is an older work and the art is a tad dated, but it's perfectly lovely. Fushigi Yuugi was that one classic shoujo fantasy that I never got around to reading even though I was convinced I would love it. I am actually really sad and disappointed. In Chuang Yi's English-language versions of Fushigi Yugi (spelled without a macron or circumflex), her name is romanized as "Yu Watase". Her name is romanized as "Yû Watase" in earlier printings of Viz Media's publications of Fushigi Yūgi, Alice 19th, and Ceres, The Celestial Legend, while in Viz Media's Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden and Absolute Boyfriend her name is romanized as "Yuu Watase".
In October 2008, Watase began her first shōnen serialization, Arata: The Legend in Weekly Shōnen Sunday. Because of her frequent use of beautiful male characters in her works, she is widely regarded in circles as a bishōnen manga artist. Since writing her debut short story "Pajama de Ojama" ("An Intrusion in Pajamas"), Watase has created more than 80 compiled volumes of short stories and continuing series. She received the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōjo for Ceres, Celestial Legend in 1997. She likes all music, except heavy metal and old traditional music. She is known for her works Fushigi Yūgi, Alice 19th, Ceres: The Celestial Legend, Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden and Absolute Boyfriend.
