* SailorFuku: In her brief and only apparition at the end, Suzuno is seen wearing one. Justified, she's from [[ImperialJapan the years]] when the ''seifuku'' was officially implemented as a school uniform.

''Fushigi Yuugi: Byakko Ibun'' (ふしぎ遊戯 白虎異聞?, Mysterious Game: the curious tales of Byakko) is a Japanese one shot manga written by Creator/YuuWatase. It was published by Shougakukan's Monthly Flowers magazine in February 2015. A prequel to ''Manga/FushigiYuugiByakkoSenki'', it's set some time before the Priestess of Byakko, Suzuno Ohsugi, arrives to Sairou; it features two lonely and powerful people named Nirusha and Reipin, whose paths met by chance and chance their lives completely...

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: The handsome, kind and stoic Nirusha is... the terrible Miboshi from the original ''Manga/FushigiYuugi''.]] Whaaaaaaa...?

* BackDoorPilot: The story feels so off for a ''Fushigi Yuugi'' chapter, has only a tiny cameo of Suzuno on the last page and overall seems to have ''nothing'' to do with the plot of the story to begin with that it feels almost like it's a completely different manga. One only knows it's part of the ''Fushigi Yuugi'' universe because Neiran mentions the legend of the priestess and her warriors and the revelation that [[spoiler: Nirusha is actually Seiryuu Seishi ''Miboshi'']]. The proper story of Suzuno, ''Manga/FushigiYuugiByakkoHen'', would not start until two years later.

''Fushigi Yuugi Byakko Ibun'' (ふしぎ遊戯 白虎異聞?) is a Japanese manga series written by Creator/YuuWatase. It began to be serialized by Shougakukan's Monthly Flowers magazine in February 2015. A prequel to ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' and a sequel to ''Manga/FushigiYuugiGenbuKaiden'', the series will tell the full story of the Priestess of Byakko, Suzuno Ohsugi, as well as her Byakko no Senshi.

'''Note''': As of March 2015, this series has begun its run. '''''Beware of MANY spoilers, marked or not.'''''

* AdrenalineMakeover - SheCleansUpNicely: [[spoiler: When Nirusha renames Reipin into Neiran, he also gives her his mother's old clothes to replace the rags she's wearing, and she walks into her abusive household with more confidence than ever while dolled up in them. It's helped by a protective charm that lets Neiran deflect any hits thrown at her.]]
* AnimalMotifs: Tigers. Justified, since Byakko the God is the "White Tiger of the West" among the Four Gods [[spoiler: and by a certain tigress's role in the first chapter.]]

* BackDoorPilot: The first chapter seems so off for a ''Fushigi Yuugi'' chapter, has only a tiny cameo of Suzuno on the last page and overall seems to have ''nothing'' to do with the plot of the story to begin with that it feels almost like it's a completely different manga. One only knows it's part of the ''Fushigi Yuugi'' universe because Neiran mentions the legend of the priestess and her warriors and the revelation that [[spoiler: Nirusha is actually Seiryuu Seishi ''Miboshi'']].

* ForegoneConclusion: 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.]]

* 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 first chapter has the appearance of [[spoiler: ''Miboshi'' of the Seiryuu Senshi, of all people.]]
** Also, the first chapter is focused on Nirusha and Reipin/Neiran rather than Suzuno. She only appears in the last page.

* ImperialJapan: ''Byakko Ibun'' is supposed to happen around 8 or 10 years after the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taishou_period Taisho-era set]] ''Genbu Kaiden'', aka the early years of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8Dwa_period the Showa Era]].

* SailorFuku: In her brief and only apparition from the first chapter, Suzuno is seen wearing one. Justified, she's from [[ImperialJapan the years]] when the ''seifuku'' was officially implemented as a school uniform.

[[spoiler: Though in the FushigiYuugi anime, they do have a heartwarming TogetherInDeath moment.]]

* DarkerAndEdgier: Like ''Genbu Kaiden'' before it. The first chapter is not shy about showing how terrible Reipin's life until she befriends Nirusha, and how badly her family treats her, as well as [[spoiler: the horrible discovery of her actual origins... and how [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed she dealt with it]].]]

You only know it's part of the ''Fushigi Yuugi'' universe because Neiran mentions the legend of the priestess and her warriors and the revelation that [[spoiler: Nirusha is actually Seiryuu Seishi ''Miboshi'']].

* DarkerAndEdgier: Like ''Genbu Kaiden'' before it. The first chapter is not shy about showing how terrible Reipin's life is and how badly her family treats her, as well as [[spoiler: the horrible discovery of her actual origins... and how [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed she dealt with it]].]]

* FallenHero: [[spoiler: It's kind of a shock to learn that the cruel, sadistic Miboshi seems to have been a pretty decent guy in his past.]]
* ForegoneConclusion: No matter ''when'' Suzuno and Tatara's romance will begin to blossom, anyone who has read ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' knows that they will not have a happy end together and will be forcefully separated after she calls Byakko. [[spoiler: Though they do have a heartwarming TogetherInDeath moment.]]

* GiveHimANormalLife: [[spoiler: Attempted by Reipin's mom, who gave infant!Reipin to her father since she couldn't legally keep her and told him to raise her well, under threats of coming in ten years and destroying the village if he didn't. [[AbusiveParents He and his family]] [[TooDumbToLive didn't listen]], and when Reipin finds out (after unknowingly killing her mom), ''she'' kills him and the others, before destroying the place.]]

* AbusiveParents: Poor, POOR Reipin is treated like shit by her family, who not only beat her bloody but also treat her like a servant, force her to work even when she's injured after all the beatings, and [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment barely her]]. It's also strongly implied that [[RapeAsBackstory her older brother sexually abuses her.]]

* 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 we know Suzuno lived in ImperialJapan and the first chapter has the appearance of [[spoiler: ''Miboshi'' of the Seiryuu Senshi, of all people.]]

* InterGenerationalFriendship: Nirusha (probably early-to-mid twenties) and Reipin (9-10) strike one in the first episode.

* TheNoseKnows: Reipin is said to have an excellent sense of smell, and she can find Nirusha by scent.

* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler: First, Reipin shoots down a tiger trying to help Nirusha, but the tiger turns out to be a shapeshifter... and her biological mother. Later, when she snaps and destroys her village, her first victims are her abusive father and stepmother.]]

* TooDumbtoLive: [[spoiler: Reipin's dad was supposed to raise her well since his mistress said she'd destroy the place if he didn't. He allowed Reipin to be mistreated ''and'' was very dismissive when she found out the truth. [[KarmicDeath Man, he brought his shit on himself]].]]
* TwoFaced: Nirusha, one of the POV characters from the first chapter, has quite the marks on one side of his face and his whole body. [[PeekABangs He covers said face marks with his bangs]].

* WhereIWasBornAndRazed: [[spoiler: Poor Reipin LOSES it when she first accidentally kills her shapeshifting mom and then is told about her origins. She then [[ShapeShifting shapeshifts]] into a tiger like her mother did, [[TheDogBitesBack killed her abusive family]] and destroyed the whole village.]]

* AbusiveParents: Poor, POOR Reipin is treated like shit by her family, who not only beat her but also treat her like a servant and force her to work even when she's injured after all the beatings, as well as [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment not feeding her well]]. It's also strongly implied that [[RapeAsBackstory her older brother sexually abuses her.]]

* FallenHero: [[spoiler: It's kind of a shock to learn that the cruel, sadistic Miboshi was a pretty decent guy in his past.]]

* GiveHimANormalLife: [[spoiler: Attempted by Reipin's mom, who gave infant!Reipin to her father and told him to raise her well, under threats of coming in ten years and destroying the village if he didn't.

* AbusiveParents: Poor, POOR Reipin is treated like shit by her family, who beat her and force her to work even when she's injured, as well as [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment not feeding her well]]. For worse, it's also strongly implied that [[RapeAsBackstory her older brother sexually abuses her.]]

* ShapeShifter: The ''Fuuin'', tigers that can transform into humans when they wear pendants named ''tiger skin''. Nirusha also mentions ''renfuu'', aka humans able to transform into tigers. [[spoiler: Reipin turns out to be the daughter of a ''fuuin'' woman and a human man. And she only finds out ''when she unknowingly kills her mother''.]]

* AbusiveParents: Poor, POOR Reipin is treated like shit by her family, who beat her and force her to work even when she's injured, as well as [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment not feeding her well]]. It's also strongly implied that [[RapeAsBackstory her older brother sexually abuses her.]]

* BadassAdorable: Reipin, capable of wrestling tigers and shoot them with arrows. [[spoiler: Played for horrible tragedy later.]]

* HalfBreedDiscrimination: [[spoiler: Reipin means "beast child", and she's subjected to this since her mother was a woman with the power of shapeshifting into a tiger.]]

* AnimalMotifs: Tigers here and there, oh my. Justified, since Byakko the God is the "White Tiger of the West" among the Four Gods.

* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler: First, Reipin shoots down a tiger trying to help Nirusha, but the tiger turns out to be a shapeshifter... and her biological mother. Later, when she snaps and destroys her village, her first victims are her abusive father and stepmother.]]
* ShapeShifter: Nirusha's power. [[spoiler: And Reipin's. And her mother's.]]

* MercyKill: Averted. [[spoiler: Tiger!Repin begs Nirusha to kill her and use her bones for his quest. Nirusha refuses.]]

* TwoFaced: Nirusha, the POV character from the first chapter, has quite the marks on one side of his face. [[PeekABangs He covers it with his bangs]].
