Aww, isn't that cute.

There was never a story that I wanted to kill off the characters more than this one. I'm talking about massive genocidal tendencies that went through me as I read it. An "off with their head" sort of thing just so I can witness their death.

I honest to god tried to give it a chance. Cross that. I gave it 4 chances. 1st chance I got about 1/10th of the way. Dropped it. Picked it up and tried to trudge through it again, because everyone was claiming how much of a classic it was. Rinse and repeat the process several times.

On my 4th try I was in pain through every scene all the while asking to myself, "Why am I doing this?" and saying, "It can't get any worse than this." Well it did.

I cringed every time Miaka uttered, "Tamahome! Tamahome!" Miaka is the epitome of an airhead. When the anime/manga gods created air, they created it in her image.

I started guessing when the next "Rescue Miaka Operation" was going to happen seconds after the 5th or so had occurred. I'd say give or take within the next few pages. And whatdaya know? B.I.N.G.O.

When you're starting to wish that the bad guys would just get their act together and kill off all the heroes already... then you know it's gotten pretty bad. And in the process maybe the bad guys could somehow trip and kill themselves by stubbing their toes... that would be dandy too.

I got about 3/4th of the way before I just gave up.

I'll probably crawl back to this again someday in the future to finish it, just so I can say that I did finish it, but that will be a long time coming. I've still got this massive, permanent distaste for anything with the words "Fushigi Yuugi" in it as of right now.

This was one of the first shoujo mangas I ever read- I was reading the viz books. I stopped around book 6 due to life rather than a lack of interest. I really did love the story at that point.
Recently, I decided to finish the story after not reading it for several years. I found it funny, but very soap opera and predictable. Not really worth 18 books of it.
If the story ended after book 13, I would've maybe given it a 5 or 6. The last 5 books seem more like the mangaka's attempt to extend the story due to its popularity rather than an actual planned ending to the story.

I'd have to agree with whoever said it was a complete soap opera... I dunno, the whole thing with Tamahome and Miaka is just unrealistic. Of course, the whole situation is too, but if you're going to make an unrealistic situation in a manga, at least have the characters act slightly more realistic for a little balance. The only thing that doesn't allow me to give it less than a 6 is the silly side characters and character death... hehe... 😛

well, i guess you all should probably know how this manga fares considering its famous. however, all i can say is this: the jokes translated by viz was a heck of a better job than the ones scanlated by fans. i'm sorry for saying it, and i really don't mean any offense, but thats the whole truth...

In my belief, this was a beautiful shoujo manga.

Miaka Yuuki wasn't a very admirable herione, such as the prequeled Prietess Takiko Okuda, and many things were in fact predictable. But Miaka, though naive and dependant on others, had the capability to love unconditionally, which surprised me. I would have preffered her with Tasuki over that swine of a boy Tamahome, but all in all, it was a good story. It was not so much the romance that had captivated me, but the legend of The Universe of the Four Gods had. I even started studying the actual legend myself.

Read it for two reasons: you're either a sappy romantic, or compelled by beautiful Chinese legends. 🙂

I enjoyed the first couple volumes until the story became a melodramatic soap opera. Miaka is probably one of the worst heroines I've encountered in a manga. I have no admiration or sympathy towards her seeing as she's wimpy, obnoxious, pathetic and completely dependent on others. I can't see how the male characters can develop feelings for her when she's such a weak, spineless cry baby. The love triangles are predictable, and the countless rape attempts are enough to make you gag. If you want to read a good shoujo, go check out "Lovely Complex" or "Emma." Don't waste your time with this nonsense.
