Guest jem Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 hi pinkblossom425! Finally found someone who posted on this series! I love the artwork & appreciate the female protagonist who is such a delightfully intelligent & beautiful lady. I'm so torn between the Emperor and her "guardian" who both love her so deeply... Do you like this series? I've not seen the anime because it takes so long to download but I've bought the Mandarain-translated novels. Haven't read because I'm not proficient. Being based as novels, the storyline is very intricate with loads of plot development... I've seen the manga (not novels) for 1st 3 chapters. Wonderful stuff! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest masala_chai_tea Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 This is a really awesome series!! I love the complexity and the characters are all very unique. I have been reading the manga and following the anime. I'm glad that it's a longer series (something I've been crazing since Juuni Kokki was taken off air).

Guest pinkblossom425 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 ive seen that comparison a lot.. between FY and SaiMono... but then again, i cant really say much cuz i only read FY Genbu Kaiden and not FY... im guessing SaiMono's female character is slightly more mature cuz SaiMono is josei and not shoujo?

Guest wenwen Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 my post got eaten! anyway this series is nothing like Fushigi yuugi so please don't say they are similar when you haven't watched it. It has a great storyline, nothing weird supernatural and cliched romances. THe pace is tight and good and the character development is really nice. you discover more and more secrets as you watch every episode. Please watch before you comment on it's goodness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jem Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 it's not like FY... It has a lot of political intrigue and lots & lots of character development. Hardly shoujo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyo_lover Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 ya when i first saw show the first impression that came to me was FY. but when i watched it, it is totally different, no where near FY. The story is brilliant and the protaganist does not annoy you and she deserves people to like her. haha cannot wait for the show to end, pretty wierd when the anime hasn't even passed episode 10. do you know where to find the manga for this. please msg me bout it. thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pinkblossom425 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 i dunno about the actual raws for the manga... i'm assuming you could buy it at any online book store... or for japanese raws, I guess you could check out fileshares... as for scanslations, Vampire Knights Scanslation are doing em ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
