Watase Yuu - Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden, vol. 03-04 (Eng. trans.)

Ok, maybe I don't completely mean the letter I just wrote because I am weak-willed to the power of manga!

I may casually keep reading this series, as it is set in a magical world and there haven't been too many sporky female rivalry moments yet. Yet. But I am on to Watase Yuu's evil ways, and I have no doubt that it will eventually show up!

Also, the series has much less high school shenanigans than the others, given that it's set in an imaginary world.

I have to admit, I still want femslash from the warrior-who-turns-into-a-girl.

Otherwise, while the additional warriors were somewhat interesting, I am still not into the series, largely because I want a female character who is not a) sweet and innocent and determined to save people no matter what, b) evil and emotionally manipulative, or c) actually a guy.

I'm going to keep reading this from the library if only for the WTF moments like the little rock guy getting cuddled, but I totally agree about the women.

I know, I loved the little rock guy. I like this better than the high school ones, just because it's about saving the world and there's not quite as much cattiness. But still...
