History Manga / FushigiYuugiByakkoSenki

** One of the reasons why [[spoiler: nobody knows which of the Raotsue brothers is the true Tatara]] at the moment is this: [[spoiler: Kasaru and Karumu look ''terrifyingly'' alike, down to pretty much ''every'' single physical trait (including the same MismatchedEyes), save for Kasaru being a young adult and Karumu being a 12-year-old boy.]]

A prequel to ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' and a sequel to ''Manga/FushigiYuugiGenbuKaiden'', it tells the story of the Priestess of Byakko, Suzuno Osugi. A girl from the pre-UsefulNotes/WorldWarII Japan and the daughter of Takao Osugi, who once worked and studied under the tutelage of Einosuke Okuda (Takiko "Genbu no Miko" Okuda's father), Suzuno finds herself in the land of Sairou after she's thrown into ''The Universe of the Four Gods''. From then on she will have to play a similar role to the one Takiko played before her, and later Miaka and Yui (and in the ''Suzaku Ibun'' game, Madoka and Misaki) will fulfill: become the Miko, reuniting her Seishi, summon the God that protects the country she serves, and make the wishes that the land needs. . .

** Chapter 3 of the series, however, offers a subversion: [[spoiler: when Suzuno is sent back to Tokyo and then is almost MadeASlave by child traffickers, one of them grabs the ''Universe...'' easily from her hands, and after she's rescued by Seiji and Oikawa the book goes completely missing.]] Considering how the ''Universe'' would later be stored for ''decades'' in the Tokyo Central Library ''and'' would only start "reacting" when Miaka and Yui went into the building together, it looks like book will ''only'' fit into this trope when [[BecauseDestinySaysSo it's actually time for any of the Priestesses to raise into action]].

* ClingyMacGuffin: Not only is the ''Universe'' impossible to destroy, but no matter how many times Takao stores it away to keep it from swallowing Suzuno or any other girl inside, the book alway finds it way out and back to Suzuno's surroundings. [[spoiler: It even happens after the Kanto Earthquake, where Suzuno barely escapes from being crushed by her house's debris and finds herself with the Book in her hands... and then the wounded Takao sends her inside the Book, counting on it being MadeOfIndestructium enough to keep her safe in the chaos and destruction.]]

* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler: Einosuke and Takiko are mentioned all over the first chapter.]]

'''NOTE''': ''Byakko Senki'' started its run in August 2017. It's best to bring all the tropes related to it here. '''''There will be SPOILERS''''', logically.

'''NOTE''': As of late August 2017, ''Byakko Senki'' has begun. It's best to bring all the tropes related to it here. '''''There will be SPOILERS''''', logically.

* BreakTheCutie: The second part of the first chapter of ''Byakko Senki'' takes a little girl from Tokyo and ''shatters'' her via [[spoiler: detroying her home, either gravely wounding or killing off her parents, and sending her to the very hostile world of the ''Universe''.]]

** There's a temple being as the headquarters for [[spoiler:the Great Priest]] and his followers, clearly inspired by Tibetan sacred buildings like the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potala_Palace Potala Palace]] or the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jokhang Jokhang Temple]]. [[spoiler:It's heavily implied to be the ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' shrine where the Suzaku Seishi met Tatara and fought Miboshi.]]

* YamatoNadeshiko: After meeeting Tamayo Oosugi, once can see where her daughter Suzuno got her YN traits from since she's quite the example of the trope. She has the dark hair, cute face, kimonos, gentle but assertive personality, etc.

** No matter ''when'' Suzuno and Tatara's romance will begin to blossom, anyone who has read ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' knows that [[StarCrossedLovers they will not have a happy end together and will be forcefully separated after she calls Byakko]]. [[spoiler: Though in the FushigiYuugi anime, they do have a heartwarming TogetherInDeath moment.]]

* ShoutOut: One bandit mentioned a type of woven fabric named "The Makan Weave." According to him it's quite pricey, and luxurious enough to be imported for the use of the Sairou Royal Empire. [[spoiler: The fabric comes from the Sairou village where Seiryuu Celestial Warrior Amiboshi, as the amnesiac Kaika, lived in ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'']].

* HeroOfAnotherStory: This is the story of Suzuno, who chronologically was the second of the four Mikos (with Takiko from ''Genbu Kaiden'' as the first). It seemingly takes place some decades before the story of Miaka and Yui, since Suzuno lived in ImperialJapan and the prequel ''Byakko Ibun'' has the appearance of [[spoiler: ''Miboshi'' of the Seiryuu Senshi]], of all people.
* UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan: ''Byakko Senki'' is supposed to happen some time after the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taishou_period Taisho-era set]] ''Genbu Kaiden'', probably in the early times of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showa_period the Showa Era]]. [[spoiler: It actually begins few months after ''Genbu Kaiden'', its strting point being the infamous Great Kanto Earthquake.]]

* SailorFuku: Suzuno is seen wearing a blue one in both the original ''Fushigi Yuugi'', her cameo in ''Byakko Ibun'', almost all the illustrations featuring her, etc. Justified, she's from [[ImperialJapan the years]] when the ''seifuku'' was officially implemented as a school uniform.

* AdaptationDyeJob: The Suzuno from the original Fushigi Yuugi had light brown hair, whereas the one from posterior illustrations is more of a blonde.

* FullFrontalAssault: [[spoiler: Neiran pulls this on a bunch of bandits.]]

** One of the reasons why [[spoiler: nobody knows which of the Raotsue brothers is the true Tatara]] at the moment is this: [[spoiler: Kasaru and Karumu look ''terrifyingly'' alike, down to pretty much ''every'' single physical trait (including the same MismatchedEyes), save for Kasaru being a young adult and Karumu being a pre-teen.]]

* MadeOfIndestructium: To follow the last wish of Einosuke Okuda, Takao Osugi did what he could to get rid of the ''Universe''. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING worked: he tried throwing it into a fire, using an industrial kiln, sealing it in a Shinto shrine, etc.. He was about to either throw it into the nearest harbour or burying it in the mountains when [[spoiler: Tokyo was destroyed in the Big Kanto Earthquake.]]
