FUSHIGI YUUGI: GENBU KAIDEN

[TwinSoul.239]

have you read the manga????or do you have a copy of the manga????

[Lady Casper]

I only have 2 or 3 volumes of the manga, if your referring to Fushigi Yugi. But eventually I got the anime.

[TwinSoul.239]

i'm referring to FYGK manga......

[Lady Casper]

Ahh. I have Volume one and two. Hopefully I can get the other two that are out soon.

[TwinSoul.239]

where do you buy your mangas Lady Casper??? how much would it cost if i buy it on ebay???

[Lady Casper]

I usually buy mine in a bookstore, preferably Borders or Barnes and Noble. And the mangas run about $ 8.99 in the US. I'm not quite sure about ebay. I was thinking about that myself, because sometimes they have deals if you buy two you get it cheaper. But don't hold me to that, I'm not sure exactly.

But ya can still try or even order them through bookstores online if wanted.

$8.99????????that's quite expensive.......

[Lady Casper]

Eh, but compared to the usual 9.95 it isn't. Speaking of which, I finally snagged GK: Vol 3 and 4. It was worth it too. But I also got my hands on Watase's other work, Alice 19th. That was pretty good too.

I'm noticing I'm a die-hard Yuu Watase fan.

Well, I like the FY world, basically. I do think that I like Takiko more than Miaka. I think that YW's work has 'matured'. Also I think that Miaka's time shaped her as how Takiko's time did to her. Miaka had it 'easy' while Takiko had to adapt to her own changing world (which, if you think about it, does have it harder than the 1990s). And think about it: Takiko is the first one to become a priestess and has to pave the way for the other priestesses. PLUS we heard that she (SPOILER ALERT: If u hadn't read this in FY, then don't read any further.) was not lucky in the end after getting her wish; her father had to do THAT and then he did it to himself because of the condition that the god did to the priestess (and if u don't know what I'm talking about, just read the FY). And think about Suzano (whatever the Byakko priestess's name is...I forgot it) and her wish to be united w/ that certain someone did not became true. So yeah, I think that the first two priestesses had a more gruelling time (though not too much since the later two priestesses did have to contend w/ their own probs like scheming emperors and other mishaps) though I don't know about Suzano since YW hadn't gotten to her yet.

Oh, and I totally agree that Limdo is uber hotty and a wonderful match to Takiko. U wish for the best but you know what will happen to her (much to my distress).

[Lady Casper]

Yes, I know what you mean about knowing the future of Takiko. But maybe, just maybe there is a possible loophole that leaves the priestess as where everyone believes she is but it was just cover to hide the truth.

Yu Watase is very clever in that department and could easily manipulate it considering they are her characters and spawns of imagination. Anything is possible in the FY world.

Oh and most definately, I find Takiko much more...how do you put it, easier to read because she did have it harder. A lot of women weren't taken seriously back then as well, and what her father goes to say about her not being a boy and wishing she had been, kind of makes you feel sorry for the priestess and also proud that she keeps going no matter what.

I just hope Watase has that keen sense of humor and disposes of the outcome that the FY world knows so far. *prays* I don't want that to happen with Takiko. She's too great a priestess, not to mention she can kick ass. And she can't leave Limdo, his hotness would die lonely.
