thebookphile's review against another edition
It's heartbreaking what happens to Yui and it must suck to think that your best friend completely forgot about you and came back only for a boy. But for her to immediately want to kill her and ruin her happiness by taking away the boy she likes just reeks of ingrained misogyny.

We finally meet Chichiri and Nakago in this volume. We also learn that there is a new Seiryu no Miko and the gang are being hunted down by men from Kutou. More shenanigans!
- I can't believe Tamahome just left Miaka in the forest so he could get candies from her bag back in the house. Why not just carry her with him? Huge plothole that I didn't even care to analyze back in the day.

The twists! This series got a lot more serious than I expected, not to say it lost it's strange, yet charming, comedic timing though.
We finally find Yui... just for everything to sour immediately. Honestly, if Yui and Miaka were such great friends, you'd think they'd at least try to talk everything out beforehand. I guess it wouldn't be as dramatic that way though haha.
Tamahome has grown on me exponentially this volume. He's actually really sweet and endearing. I still think Hotohori is the hottest guy established so far though, but that's probably just my personal bias for long haired bishies shining through lmao

Oh, boy. “Disciple”, third in the “Fushigi Yugi” series, is something that was conceptually fine, but I really didn’t like in practice. Tamahome’s backstory comes out in this volume and it is very classic, basic and not particularly good or bad. We mostly focus on finding Yui, Miaka’s friend, who has entered the book and been lost for multiple months. While Yui’s plot is fine in concept, I really hated how it played out and what motives we get. I’ll continue the series for another volume or so, but I really was turned off by where Watase took Yui and how she go there.

Yay! The drama is starting to get serious and we finally get some of Tamahome's background! Hooray! I knew there had to be a reason for him being so miserly!
What happened with Yue was intense though! The story suddenly got much darker than I had anticipated, although I like that, it made the series much more mature.
I really wanted to give this volume 4 and 1/2 stars because I feel like this volume really upped the anti and is really drawing me in. The next volume will most likely be getting 5 stars!
