Fushigi Yûgi: Byakko Senki, Vol. 5

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 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! With Durin headed off to the Imperial Palace as a consort candidate, Suzuno agrees to dance with Durin’s troupe at the Vihara, where she can learn more about the Sangha and their alliance with the False Priestess. Along the way, Suzuno navigates her feelings about Tatara’s confession and her engagement to Seiji. When the dance finally begins, Ning-Lan and Nirsha choose this moment to attack—with dire consequences for Suzuno!
