Fushigi Yûgi: Byakko Senki, Vol. 3

The final Fushigi Yûgi story in the Universe of the Four Gods begins!

The year is 1923. Suzuno Osugi’s father Takao warns her to stay away from The Universe of the Four Gods, telling her it’s a book that only men can touch. Takao worked with the late Einosuke Okuda, who translated its text. He knows that in order to enact its story, the book needs one last heroine: the priestess of Byakko!

Just as Suzuno reunites with Karm and Kasal, the brothers she met on her first trip into The Universe of the Four Gods, false priestess Ning-Lan unleashes a brutal attack that leaves Kasal mortally wounded. In the aftermath, Karm must come to terms with stepping into his newly awakened powers as a Celestial Warrior. But as the group begins their search for the other Celestial Warriors, something sinister awaits them out in the desert...

Yuu Watase debuted in the Shôjo Comic manga anthology in 1989. She won the 43rd Shogakukan Manga Award with Ceres: Celestial Legend.
