How about three for three!

1. Chiriko, I find his character tragic as he's one of the youngest characters we are introduced to in the series. Honestly I think part of the reason why I love him as a character was because I was even younger than him when I was first introduced to the series and I latched onto a child character, and permanently solidified my love of child genius characters. I do wish the series had more opportunities to showcase Chiriko and Mitsukake, i know the manga had a little bit more than the anime, but compared to the rest of the Suzaku seven the two of them really struggle to get screen time. I know he had a light novel story and i am on a HUNT to find an English fan translation.

2. Tasuki, he's loud and his mouth moves faster than his brain can process what he's getting into. He is my brother's favorite character and I'd be Tasukis ride or die if I met him in real life. I love that we got to see him embrace being part of the Suzaku seven and treating everyone like they're a part of his family. He was Miaka's number one supporter on her love life and basically became an older Brother to her over the journey, for a guy who went on how much he doesn't like women he quickly changed his tune when it came to her. He wears his emotions on his sleeve; you know he's sincere when he's lovingly teasing and breaking when you see him at his low points as he watches his friends die.

3. Nuriko, i personally use he/they for this character but I don't mind using she/her as well! Nuriko was my first exposure to an LGBT character and while they didn't break my egg, they certainly caused some cracks even at a young age. I very much want to get their celestial mark as a tattoo at some point. They're a result of at-the-time norms to Gay/Trans characters, and when you throw in Ancient China social norms into the mix it isn't entirely a surprise to see why some people think their character was handled poorly. I admire how unapologetically loud and proud they are after being forcibly outed and I love that while at the end of the day no matter how many jokes they made at her expense, everyone respected and enjoyed Nurikos company. I could consume Tasuki, Nuriko and Miaka shenanigans all day long

Honorary Mention: Yui! I love doing character Analysis on antagonists, and Yui is a character I have loved being able to explore over and over again as I have gotten older. Even as a child I don't think I ever found Yui annoying, she a victim of her circumstances and was groomed by a man who realized he could weaponize her pain for his own gain. This isn't to say she is not responsible for her actions, as there WERE times she purposefully made a choice that went against her friend. But she was 15, and from her perspective, easily spent 6 months minimum convinced she had been raped and abandoned, forgotten. Nakago made her felt seen and important in a time she was ready to literally kill herself. Yui was mostly able to redeem herself because Miaka never gave up on being her friend, and having Miaka there to bring her out of the darkness that LITERALLY consumed her is what gave her opportunity to go through a metaphorical rebirth and correct her actions. I understand why people dislike Yui, but I think she does a fantastic job on filling her roll as the Antagonist who pushes Miaka into summoning Suzaku. I love that we got to see her process her pain and trauma and shift her outward thoughts to be from "I want my best friend to hurt the way she hurt me" to just "I'm hurt and i miss my best friend, I'm scared to be alone."

Would you like to talk about Fushigi yuugi blorbos

ABSOLUTELY.

Top 3 blorbos in no order

Miaka. Controversial opinion perhaps but as I've gotten older I've really come around to love Miaka. She's a character who is really believable as a teenager going through all the stuff being thrown at her - she tries her best to be responsible but she's also only 15! She's gonna mess up and goof around! And I love how much she cares about the people around her. She never gives up on Yui no matter what happens, because Yui is her best friend and she understands she's suffering and in a terrible manipulative environment. She apologizes to Hotohori when she can't return his feelings. She tries on two separate occasions to give up on Tamahome because it's the Responsible thing to do. She tries so damn hard and her heart is so damn big. (Also for as much as she's getting saved, she also has several badass moments.) (Also get this girl some therapy she was assaulted at least 3 times within a few days.)

Takiko Okuda. Where do I even begin?? If I think about her for too long I'll cry. She's brave. She's kind. She's suffering so much but she will put her suffering aside to help others. She's so insecure that it kills her. She's willing to die to save the world she loves. She kicks ass. She doesn't know what prostitutes do. You know she's going to die from the moment you open the book but you still fall in love with her and want her to be okay (I actually forgot she died until I did a FY reread and reread the explanation of her death lmao). I'm obsessed with her.

NURIKO. Literally would die for her. (I use she/her for Nuriko usually, but that's a personal preference because I read the manga first and they always used she/her for Nuriko (the anime used he/him).) Truly a queer icon of the age. Nuriko is That Bitch - started out so awful to Miaka for the pettiest reasons, and somehow ended up being Miaka's bestie/older sibling figure, and I love it. She's a mean girl but she's also compassionate when it comes down to it. Devastated me when she died. will never recover from it.

Your turn!! Share your Fushigi Yuugi blorbos with me (if you want) 💜
