I'm always down for a Fushigi Yuugi rewatch, and 85% of that is purely Nuriko's campy af shenanigans. [x]

The final story of the doujinshi written by Fujino, "Mutual Love" (same title name as the doujin). I also included a few illustrations at the end.

There's still the stories by Runako Kosugi that I have yet to scan and translate, but I dunno when I'll get around to it.

The other two stories.

I'm gonna go ahead and post this 28 lunar mansions calculator I found while doing some weird-ass research for a fic.

About 25 years ago I used to be in the Fushigi Yuugi fandom and I would have been so fucking happy to find out there is a way to calculate which senshi correlates to me through the 28 mansions (and, subsequently, so fucking bothered that my star is Azure Dragon's Neck, ie Seiryuu's Amiboshi) that I owe myself posting this in a fandom space where someone might find it.

Anyway click the link, select the year and month of your birthday, scroll until you find the constellation.

Now to which character you are, assuming there is a character. If you fall into one of the White Tiger mansions you're in bad luck because Watase-senpai only released four chapters of the Byakko series before going into hiatus. I assure you I'm very sorry since the Byakko series slaps (and I don't care how many times she needed to retread the same idea, I'm a fanfic reader, I'm absolutely here for it. Gimme more isekaied girls and their mysteical harems).

Anyway, the constellations and their respective senshi:

Vermillion Bird of the South (Suzaku)

井 (Well): Chichiri.

鬼 (Demon): Tamahome. In the manga/anime Tamahome's constellation is translated as ghost (unless you watched the fansub that just slapped oni onto the screen and called it a day), but I assume that's because gui is not a concept you can really translate to western language.

柳 (Willow): Nuriko.

星 (Star): Hotohori.

張 (Extended Net): Chiriko.

翼 (Wings): Tasuki. I'd like to inform you that if this is your constellation I am very, very, very jelous of you.

軫 (Chariot): Mitsukake.

Azure Dragon of the East (Seiryuu)

角 (Horn): Suboshi.

亢 (Neck): Amiboshi. I have to give you that his powers were cool af though.

氐 (Root): Tomo.

房 (Room): Soi. Is it time to have Soi Discourse again?

心 (Heart): Nakago. As usual I'd like to remind you that chinese uses the same word for heart, mind and core. Make of that what you will.

尾 (Tail): Ashitare.

箕 (Winnowing Basket): Miboshi.

Black Tortoise of the North (Genbu)

斗 (Dipper): Hikitsu.

牛 (Ox): Inami.

女 (Girl): Uruki. This one is called Woman in the anime/manga translation and that's as correct as using girl (both words use this hanzi), but the site uses "girl" for the constellation so I'm using "girl" here.

虛 (Emptiness): Tomite

危 (Rooftop): Urumiya. Okay, this one is a weird one. The hanzi means Danger, but the constellation it refers to is Rooftop Lunar Swallow, which is why it's called rooftop.

室 (Encampment): Hatsui.

壁 (Wall): Namame.

White Tiger of the West (Byakko)

奎 (Legs): Tokaki.

娄 (Bond): Tatara.

胃 (Stomach): Kokie.

昴 (Hairy Head): Subaru.

毕 (Net): Amefuri.

觜 (Turtle Beak): Toroki.

参 (Three Stars): Karasuki.

So a few years ago I aquired a Tasuki x Nuriko doujinshi. I've been meaning to translate it but I've never really gotten around to it until now. The doujin, titled "Mutual Love," was released in 1996 drawn by Yaeko Fujino and Runako Kosugi. At long last I translated the three stories drawn by Yaeko Fujino.

First one is "Believing Heart"

Second is "After a Dream"

The third one is longer so I'll put it in a separate post.

Can we talk about one of my favorite and earliest introductions to anime?

Fushigi Yuugi

First of all, I have never related to such a character like Miaka. She is as in love with food as I am, bubbly, She always says what’s on her mind and isn’t afraid to tell it like she sees it. And she is ride or die for her bestie

Examples

She wasn’t afraid of calling out Nuriko for being a cow to her while also giving them a gift. Also when Tamahome did something to hurt her feelings.

Also… Nuriko=icon

I love everything about Nurikos character. They are always there to help always there to cheer up Miaka and I loved how nothing really changes even though we find out they were actually born a boy. The only thing it does is bring on a few questions within the group and that’s it. Personally I like how Miaka and Tamahome treat them as a sibling. And the pinning for Hotohori was entertaining.

Personally I thought Hotohori was kind of plain character that only had a few selected funny moments because everyone thought he was a girl simply because he was beautiful. He did win me over a little while visiting Tamahomes family. But the man had conviction I will give him that. The fact this man knew that he had little chance of winning against Nagato and basically said “fuck it I’m taking this mf out” and charged him earned him my respect.

Tasuki is my favorite character and kind of reminds me of the younger sibling of the group. He is a very interesting character and refuses to join Miaka for a while before he gives and decides to come along. the banter between him and the other warriors always made me laugh and I love how he doesn’t take shit from anyone he defends Miaka from Tamahome and takes a beating for her and encourages the group to leave her alone after Tamahomes betrayal. Then after all of the drama with Tamahome he actually becomes friendly with the guy and they proceed to have their own version of prank wars.

From this

To this

I’m not even going to talk about the psychological issues and trauma that is Tamahome but he and Miaka are adorable together. I just wish the constant repetition of names trope was not a thing

I just need to know if anyone else has watched this show or read the manga?
