☆☆☆NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT☆☆☆

Fushigi Yûgi: Byakko Senki

The final Fushigi Yûgi story in the Universe of the Four Gods begins!

The year is 1923. Suzuno Osugi’s father Takao warns her to stay away from The Universe of the Four Gods, telling her it’s a book that only men can touch. Takao worked with late Einosuke Okuda, who translated its text. He knows that in order to enact its story, the book needs one last heroine: the priestess of Byakko!

After the Great Kanto earthquake strikes, Suzuno and Takao are trapped in their burning home. Takao has only one chance to save his young daughter, and that is to send her into The Universe of the Four Gods!

Coming in August 2020

(Part 1): I ran across your old post concerning Yui's development and how she never had her own story. I've been thinking about this for a bit and came up with this: what if Miaka and Yui switched roles as priestesses but kept their personalities in tact? I feel as if Yui would gain that self-confidence she didn't have with the Suzaku warriors through her platonic bond with them. I can see her nipping Hotohori's crush in the bud immediately and not falling for Tamahome either. Platonic love!

OH WOW. I’m so sorry that I didn’t respond to this! Yes, yes, yes to everything. I love this.

This is a tumblr hug. (✿づ◠‿◠)づ Pass this to your favorite people to let them know that you love them!

Aw, thanks! <3 That’s so sweet.

Byakko Ibun

I finally had a chance to read the first chapter! I, personally, thought it was very interesting. If this really was the official first chapter and not a prologue, it definitely started different than genbu and the original Fushigi Yuugi. 

What did you guys think?

[shinzahou]

Five more days to go! Who is ready?

Holy crap I just realized Fushigi Yuugi is 20 years old. WTF.

"Everytime... When we part even for just a while, it may be the last time.

Yes, I understand it. My mind understands it. I was aware that the time will come.

Though I know that... My heart cannot accept it."

[shinzahou]

"I won't ask you to forgive me, but I am going to tell you the truth. I have been waiting for you.

I've always been waiting for you."
