Description

Covers volumes 7–12 of Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden by Yuu WataseCaitlin (OG Fushigi Yugi superfan), Sara Linsley (manga letterer extraordinaire), and Zahra Ymer (manga scholar in training), and Ashley (Shojo & Tell host) are back for the second half of Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden, aka The Better Fushigi Yugi (sorry, OG FY). This episode gets heavy: The primary topic is about accepting death (it's better if you know going in that priestess Takiko is going to die!). All four talk about the points at which they cried, and how much (not Soren!!), make fun of Efinluka's name (.... well, how would you pronounce it?), and ponder if Takiko and Uruki having sex while Uruki presents female would upset the god, Genbu. You will laugh, you will cry, and if we're lucky, you won't die.REFERENCESFushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden is available from Viz Media's Shojo Beat lineExcellent series Sara has lettered:Waiting for SpringSweat and SoapFushigi Yugi: Byakko SenkiThe Fable of the Dragon TyrantYou, too, can get wrecked looking at the Wikipedia page for tuberculosis Weathering With You tried to have its cake and eat it, too, when it came to sacrificeHas anyone read Arata: The Legend besides Ashley?Outro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USCaitlin on Twitter, her personal blog, Anime Feminist, and Anime News NetworkSara on Twitter and her personal websiteZahra on Twitter and Anime FeministShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramAshley on Twitter @AshMcD00Next episode will be about volumes 1-5 of After School Nightmare by Setona Mizushiro.

Titles in the series (100)

A manga discussion podcast focusing on shojo (and josei!) series that make your heart go doki-doki. Covering classics like CLAMP’s “Cardcaptor Sakura” and Yuu Watase’s “Fushigi Yuugi” to newer favorites like Kazune Kawahara’s “My Love Story!!” and Hiro Fujiwara’s “Maid Sama!” Shojo & Tell host Ashley McDonnell discusses one series per episode with a rotating shojo superfan. (And sometimes, a shoujo superfan.) Shojo [or shoujo] manga: Japanese comics made for young women. A breath of fresh air after reading 72 volumes of “Naruto.” The underappreciated sibling of all those same-y never-ending shonen titles.
