When i came to know that there is a novel for fushigi yuugi, mainly to tackle about the former lives of the characters before they indulged in their adventure as warriors, i got interested!
I read Hotohori's story first because i want to know more about this gentle and beautiful man (and also i feel that in the manga, he has been 'left behind' for the reason that he cannot leave the palace). But i am a little bit dissappointed as i was thinking that the novel would tell us more about him, sure it does tell about his loneliness and his difficulties he faced during his reign but i guess what im seeking for is his thoughts and emotions. However, the novel, in my point of view has more of Houki's (the harem girl that he choose as his empress) feelings and life that has been there and not Hotohori's.
Well, i am thinking that this is his story so im sorta expecting that he will be the main character and so it'll push more of his thoughts and not the other characters.
