Still, it doesn’t quite qualify as fan art, because the drawings were done by Yu Watase, Fushigi Yugi’s creator and original manga artist herself!
And granted, these updated character designs for the cast of smash-hit 1990s manga and TV anime Fushigi Yugi were drawn by someone who’s definitely fond of the series.
If the early ‘90s anime and manga gets remade, Yu Watase thinks it should look like this.
And while some loyalists still have a soft spot for the art of decades past, there are also those who’d like to see anime and manga icons updated for more modern tastes.
