Thanks to The Manga Obsession for the story summary!
Volumes 1-13 (original release) contain the main plot line, while the last five books have a second story that was done because of the immense popularity of the anime series. Both stories are wonderful, and the artwork is beautiful. The first plot is about a junior high student, Yuuki Miaka, and her friend, Hongo Yui who open the book Shijintenchisho. Surrounded by a red light, they are magically transported into the book. Almost kidnapped by bandits to be sold into slavery, the two girls are saved by the bishounen Tamahome. Shortly after he leaves since they have no money to offer him. The red light appears again and the two girls are brought back to the real world. Obsessed with the vision of Tamahome and the idea of leaving this world and its problems behind, Miaka later goes back into the book alone.
What follows is a story of blind love, misled hate, stupid courageousness, and a bunch of bishounen (cute guys). You have to love Watase-sama for her cliff hangers and her ability to kill off anyone...and the omakes (Fushigi Agyu) are absolutely hilarious.
Fushigi Yuugi has been fully published in English by VIZ Communications and they just recently re-released the series in economical BIG editions, each volume contains 3 original volumes, so the entire series is compiled in just 6 volumes total! Please support Watase-sensei by purchasing the English editions at below links.
