Customer review of: Fushigi Yûgi, Volume 2: Oracle

Customer Rating: Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5
Summary: Very enjoyable Manga series
Comment: If you are looking for a new manga series to read, this could be the one you want. There is action, comedy, several possible tangles from 2 love triangles. It does have the tried and true story of a girl thrown into a distant time/land and struggles to find her footing. But, I feel the humor, the heart, and her art that Yuu Watase brings to her stories elevates her books above many writers. You will not find graphic violence or graphic sexual situations. There are many other reviewers to give you the complete outline of the story, so read those and see if this series will "fit" you.

Summary: Second is as much fun as the first.
Comment: Yu Watase, Fushigi Yugi: Oracle (Viz, 1999)

The second entry in Watase's manga series continues the story from the first book. Miaka is still discovering her place in the China of two millenia ago, while her best friend, mother, and brother are searching for her in the present-day world. Miaka, however, has more pressing problems; Hotohori has decreed that Miaka and the three celestial warriors already uncovered need to make a pilgrimage to the sacred mountain to find out more about where to look for the four celestial warriors not yet uncovered. Which, of course, exposes everyone to all sorts of danger.

Oracle, like the first book in the series, is quickly engaging, with likable protagonists, amusing situations, and some unexpected turns. It does have a bit of the confusion factor of some other manga (sometimes it's a bit hard to tell some characters apart, thanks mostly to hair color being variable from frame to frame), but it's kept to a minimum here. Fushigi Yugi is good stuff. *** ½

Summary: Great volume
Comment: This is volume two of Fushigi Yuugi. This is another great volume. Miaka and Tamahome are a great couple with a wonderful love story. In this volume, Tamahome tells Miaka about his past as they share a nice conversation in the lake. Later, Miaka finds herself face to face with a new side of herself and must find a way to rescue everyone, when she is inside a mirror. Miaka finds a way to return to her world and promises Tamahome she will come back. When she comes back she realizes that a lot of time has passed and that time is different in each world. When she is walking through the forest, she sees Tamahome and they hug, happy to be reunited in a very sweet and romantic scene. This is a wonderful volume.

Summary: The continuing of one great manga series.
Comment: The new character that appears in this book is Tai Yi-Jun. She gave the Universe of the Four Gods to Hotohori. She is pretty scary if you're not used to her.
In this installment, Miaka, Tamahome, Hotohori, and Nuriko go to see Tai Yi-Jun. At the beginning of the book, Miaka doesn't feel well. Nuriko believes that if she goes back to her hometown, she will feel better. So the foursome go to Daichi Mountain to see Tai, who could help Miaka. However, there is one test needed so Miaka can prove if she really is the Priestess of Suzuku. It involves... Miaka's bad side?! Oh no!! No way I am telling you anymore than that, but I will tell you that Miaka succeeds in going back to her hometown.
Highly Recommended.


Editorial Reviews:

During a pilgrimage to the oracle Tai Yi-Jun, Miaka is trapped inside a cursed mirror while her evil reflection goes free! Can Tamahome, Hotohori, and Nuriko save the real Miaka? Can Yui, now back in the real world, help her missing friend come home? When Miaka does make her way back to Tokyo, things are not as expected. Fushigi Yugi, a pioneering series, proved that manga for girls could be a hit on TV
