For some reason, volumes 19 and 20 are the ones that are the most trouble to find. I had to check Amazon’s marketplace every day for someone to offer a copy at a reasonable price when I was trying to get all the volumes earlier this year. I hope you find a copy eventually, or maybe it’ll eventually get reprinted, I know there are many people that are upset they can’t get ahold of it. It’s also kind of a shame because when I finally found a copy and read it, it had some of my favorite scenes in the series in it.

Anyways I definitely don’t deny the fact that some parts of the plot resembles and that Basara is a better series.. I consider Basara as an epic series.

But definitely both are classic shoujo titles..

Btw I also owned most of Basara’s volumes except for volume 19! My god, I can’t find it anywhere, as I am a little to late..

Well Hotohori might be minor for me but alot of fans liked him since he was Tamahome’s rival for Miaka for a short time.. He did have his moments though, I would say he is not prominent.. But you’ll see. Hopefully you remember him once you read through it. He’s very kind to almost not noticeable I guess.. But he’s definitely funny as well.

Totally I really like reading your reviews for info about certain series. And I like your reviews about the series I am reading or have read.. It seems like we have the same thoughts about the series.

Thanks again!

I’m glad to hear that Hotohori doesn’t play a major role. I was afraid my memory had completely failed me. It was strange that I had just completely forgotten him, but remembered everyone else. Since he’d already been introduced when I started, I probably just remember everyone else since I saw their introductions and everything, though.

I’m glad you liked the review!

I’m glad you found it less annoying. And that you are enjoying it.

About Hotohori, he’s not as prominent being featured as Miaka, and Tamahome in the first couple volumes. Heck in my opinion he doesn’t have much appearance overall with the story.. But he’s somewhat entertaining in his own weird way.

So you’re fave characters are Tamahome and Yui. Personally Tamahome is alright, I like the fact he was greedy at first. Yui in the other hand she’s alright, I sympathized to her story..

You know I never compared Basara to Fushigi Yugi, both have their epicness but Basara certaintly with no doubt have much greater plot than Fushigi Yugi. I like both of them but Fushigi Yugi is definitely my fave out of the two..

Lol I’m here again! I check out your review every now and then!

Seriously your review and thoughts about Fushigi Yugi makes me want to get suck inside the series again! I might go and start reading the series.

Thanks for the awesome review!
