#Miaka Yuuki

[mintmia]

I haven’t been drawing anything substantial in a bit but I got a sudden need of drawing priestess Miaka (in unholy mix of the anime and manga designs)

[dessi-desu]

Super throwback with Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi! 🔥❤️ Is anyone else hoping we can get a new anime announcement? 2022 was Fushigi Yuugi’s 30th anniversary celebration and the Byakko Senki manga is coming out of hiatus this Fall, so I’m really hoping 🤞 I have also drawn Suzuno, and will be drawing Takiko and Yui too!

Fushigi Yugi: Adolescence Apotheosis

SPOILERS for the entirety of the Fushigi Yugi TV series. 

CONTENT WARNING for discussions of sexual assault and emotional abuse.

Editor's Note: Yuu Watase is x-gender and, per the US publisher of her work, continues to use she/her pronouns in translation.

Yuu Watase was only 22 when she started writing Fushigi Yugi, and it shows. For better and worse, it’s obviously the work of a young, inexperienced writer. It’s a raw, emotional, often frustrating narrative driven more by feelings than logic.

On the other hand, Watase’s youth gives her an insight into the teenage psyche that many more polished narratives lack. Fushigi Yugi uses isekai trappings and the relationship between Miaka and Yui to explore common sources of desire and anxiety for teenage girls along with their potential consequences, both positive and negative. By tapping into the mentality of its audience and providing reassurance in its conclusion, Fushigi Yugi serves the function of a fable or fairy tale.

Escaping Anxiety in Another World

At fifteen, protagonist Miaka and her best friend Yui face a major transitional period in their lives. Japanese students prepare for high school entrance exams in the equivalent of ninth grade, and the school they get into can play a major role in determining the rest of their lives. Despite an increased interest in sex, romantic relationships are considered a waste of precious studying time. Friendships are on the cusp of breaking apart because people may get into different schools.

Fushigi Yuugi as the "the world should have protected you but you have been asked to protect it. What an honour. What an injustice." quote.

I hate tv tropes

I hate that site they ruin everything I loved fushigi yugi sure it’s not perfect and has some issues and problems cause it came out in the 90s but miaka should not be branded a scrappy at all especially when I see the person who wrote it obviously biased and hates her I can tell with how they phrase it she shouldn’t be branded as a scrappy that means most hated character and that she’s unlikable sure she’s not perfect but I never found her unlikable I really enjoyed that anime as a teen STOP RUINING MY AUTISTIC BRAIN I HATE THIS when someone brands a character as the scrappy on that site it feels like I’m not allowed to like the character especially when they are the main character it’s like I can’t enjoy it anymore like my childhood is ruined I hate how my mind works sometimes I hate tv tropes so much please tell me someone liked miaka and don’t consider her a scrappy and that tv tropes isn’t 100% right about everything it’s like I can’t think for myself I want to but I’m scared people will hate me if I like miaka and fushigi yugi like reasonable people from other fandoms of shows I love and it means I’m wrong to feel the way I do to like what I want to like or to hate what I want to hate like with Rapunzel and Cassandra from tangled series I don’t want people to hate me and tell me I’m a hypocrite and that I don’t deserve to live I’m scared of people of fandoms so much they terrify me and I get I can be part of the problem too cause I get so impulsive when I see a post that angers me and I’m sorry I don’t want to be like that I want to be better then that I apologize if I go too far and I’ll delete any comment I left on there just tell me what post I don’t people to think I’m a horrible hypocrite and unlikable person I can’t stand it if it’s from someone who’s rational and sane if they hate me then I’m a horrible person someone help me
