Fushigi Yûgi: The Mysterious Play, Vol. 1: Priestess by Yuji Oniki, Yuu Watase

Oh good lord!! I used to be so obsessed with this series!! But reading it now, wow, it’s pretty bad. The art is beautiful, but the story itself it pretty formulaic for a shojo. A ditzy heroine who becomes a chosen one, suddenly everyone is in love with her for no reason, she falls in love with a guy knowing him for two days. Lord!! And really random things happen to move the plot a long, usually barely relating to one another. Weak transitions, and just overall poor writing.
