Summary of this Book...
A student pressured by her mother to get into a prestigious school finds a book that transports her to a fantasy world--literally.
This type of Book is good for...
People with a taste for young love will love this manga, as will comic art fans, but Miaka's character has a lot to give to more serious readers, too.
I especially liked...
Miaka's reaction to her new circumstances is delightful.
I didn't like...
The conventional use of chibi characters--characters drawn as small children--to express certain emotions only confuses me.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
I couldn't wait to read the rest of the series and find the anime!
This Book made me feel...
I feel as if I've visited a real place (the real Japan, that is, not the Four Gods universe) and learned about real people, not characters in a setting.
The author of this Book...
True-to-life adolescent characters seem to be Watase's specialty, and the artwork has a delightful lilt.
I recommend this Book because...
This book is a great read enhanced by first-quality artwork.
Further Comments...
First published in 1992, Fushigi Yugi is a classic in the shojo manga genre.
