Chichiri's Cute Journal
春の臭いがするのだ
Chichiri disappearing into his hat Afterword by Megumi Nishizaki

Da~, hello! I'm Megumi Nishizaki! We meet once again.

Finally Fushigi Yuugi Supplimental Biography 2 has been published! Puff~ puff~!

Well, this time's hero has answered numerous requests about the character "Chichiri".

When he was 18, his fiance was taken by his best friend, although even more than the shock of just that, he lost first the family retainers, then his fiance and best friend in the great flood. However, as he had made up his mind to stand and watch as that best friend was swallowed by the flood, his heart was already in tatters... Such was the young man called Houjun Li.

This is the story from that young man in the depths of despair attempting to end his own life, to becoming the Suzaku Shichiseshi Chichiri after three years of training under Taiitsukun.

How was it?

You probably thought, "Oh, Chichi... Chichiri had a past this sad and severe?"

That's right. As a result, Chichiri is kind, deep, and reliable. All of you Chichiri fans from across the country, do you agree with this...?


However, if you think about it, Chichiri's skills were already perfect.

Stretching the world's bindings, binding hands and feet, telepathy, teleportation, transformation, and moreover, the power of being ultrasensitive to the reverse current of even a river~!

Furthermore, is that mask also a technique?

Yes, yes. On top of that, no matter when he can become three times life-size.

Don't you think he's just the coolest?

You want Chichiri as a member of your household, right?

Well, despite his powers, Chichiri isn't arrogant, he always calm and reserved, and he leads everyone else. Yeah, he's an adult.

Yes, as such his time as Houjun piled up, and there were abundant life experiences.

That's this story.

All of you Chichiri fans from across the country, do you understand it...?


However, if you think about it, from this time on "Chichiri" never fell in love, did he~?

Yeah, that's right

By Chichiri's side, Nyang-nyang and the cat and such other characters somehow give a feeling of closeness like lovers of marriageable age, don't they?

Probably, he will always be alone.

But, he stated, "I love her now, and I will continue to love her forever" about his lost lover from the past. Yes, that is this story.

All of you..., was it enough? (Smile)

But, when Kouran was reborn into this world, perhaps they couldn't openly conclude it, or so I privately think and believe. Wah, it's so beautiful


By the way, a lot of characters make an appearance in this time's book.

Taiitsukun, Nyang-Nyang, Nakago, and furthermore, Yui. Until at last Miaka.

Fushigi Yuugi's separate volumes, volumes 1-2 are stories that take place at the same time and I thought they were fun as side-stories.


Because I'm a fan of Taiitsukun, that also made me a little happy.

But, I'm sorry. With all due respect to her, she is really the Lord of the Heaven, and I made her wear workclothes with a hoe. Yeah, Lordy, forgive me~.

Yes, yes, from all of that, all of the readers can really gain from Watase's full illustration space. Hey, friends who are standing and reading, you can buy this book, buy it, buy it!


Also this time, Yuu Watase and Overseer O took care of me in various ways.

By the way, who is the next main character, I wonder, who is it~?

Give me lots of your impressions and demands.

Bye bye, let's have fun the next time we meet.

Everyone, farewell!!

That was Megumi Nishizaki??

Chichiri doing the peace sign Afterword by Yuu Watase

The second "Fushigi Yuugi" novel!! But, with some help it was published!! Thanks to all of you who gave us a hand, Ms. Nishizaki, and the overseer. Thank you very much!

Who will be this time's the main character... I thought about this and that, and because I said in the end, "I wonder, how about Chichiri...," this time with the usual support of Ms. Nishizaki (Hey), we have once again put together a magnificent story. I'm so happy because Nakago made an appearance.

The one and only Suzaku Shichiseishi Chichiri is very enigmatic (Some may clain that a character who's passed through disaster and this legend should be better than that) and suddenly becomes three times smaller, and if he thinks about whether you know about poyayan he suddenly becomes serious... But, since this time is about his past, we show him as he is recovering so manga Chichiri probably has a slightly different flavor. (And his name made its first exhibition!)

By the way, about the name "Houjun," "Hou" --> superior person. "Jun" --> different. Forgive me... I thought that sort of meaning when I named him.

I wonder if Chichiri has a lot of male fans? What do you mean, he's strong at using techniques. In the book compilation outside of dragging Tamahome, the hero, around to say, "Here" he didn't fight, but more than anything it was because he was a spiritual pacifist who gave "consultations on what you could do." Fighting with "power" isn't everything. Because of that, many felt that he was limited by not having "this really awful opponent..."

But, until then he was maturing, and like in this novel, he overcame some very immature feelings. Without suffering, you won't grow up!! (Aaa, it hurts, it hurts *laugh*) To understand the pain of others, you must first understand pain.

Well, well, with last time's "Tasuki" I received a lot of letters from everyone, some which made me happy and some which made me sigh. Well, saying "when you compile books, the pictures are different" is easy (laugh), but one person wrote "There isn't such a thing as unchanging. I love even your pictures now. Please don't mind them and keep at it" That's right, Watase is Watase!! That's what I say!! Alrigh'! I'll take ya on!! (being a naive jerk)

Speaking of that, there are still many who say "Continue writing Fushigi Yuugi." There is no continuance. (Once and for all) At ShoComi "Refusing Less Than Puberty" is done being edited but it isn't completed. At 18 volumes "FushiYuu" is complete. I have no interest in writing more and if I write more it will be sloppy, which I don't want. That's why I won't do any "third part." That's why I'm delivering these extra pictures. I wonder, will it be Nuriko if there's a next time? (Everyone give me your support)

But, I'm glad everyone has "FushiYuu" in their hearts!! I'll ask where the 6 "bargin manga" are located now! By the way it's being televised on Wednesday nights in Taiwan? It seems to be number 3 in favorite manga. (Number 1 is "Kinda" Shounen~ Number 2 is "Slam Dunk") In the entire manga, the favorite character (male) --> Tamahome is number 2! For women Miaka is number 1! "FushiYuu" is strong even in Taiwan!! Thank you!!

Last of all, this picture was a really deep one that I thought of using for the cover illustration of the "Chichiri novel" but stopped because it was plain.

Well, let's meet again!
