Fushigi Yugi, Volume 3: Disciple (Fushigi Yugi) (edition 2004)

I've read the first three volumes, I find them entertaining, but entirely forgettable as a storytelling experience. I don't want to sound dismissive, but that's how I feel. ( )

In the third volume we find that Yui has also been sucked into "The Universe of the Four Gods". She was not as lucky as Miaka, and has faced some real horror upon entering the book. She was attacked and had tried to commit suicide. At first Yui is over joyed to be reunited with Miaka, but then overhears Miaka say she returned for Tamahome. Yui is jealous and hurt and decides to become the Priestess of Seiryu, Suzaku's enemy. Yui vows to take Tamahome from Miaka. This graphic novel may be for more mature teens because it discusses rape, and suicide. I love these characters. Most of them I already "know" from the anime but they are well developed and I feel very connected to them ( )
