Confused? Not half as confused as poor Miaka, a Tokyo girl, who reads the book and then finds herself being saved from lecherous bandits by a gorgeous hero, becoming the high priestess of a bird, and befriending an Emperor... ... just so she can go home! Volume #1 Miaka discovers an enchanted book, "The Universe of the Four Gods" that drastically changes her life! Reading the book suddenly transports Miaka and her best friend Yui into both the world and the story within the mystical tome. Trapped in this perilous magical world, Miaka becomes a high priestess and befriends an emperor – just to get home! Now, she must overcome heart-breaking betrayals and battle the deadly Seiryu Seven to protect her adopted kingdom, her friends and her true love! Volume #2 Miaka manages to transport back home, but to her shock, finds that Yui is still trapped in mystical, ancient China! Returning to Konan, she desperately tries to find her missing best friend, only to be confronted by one of the deadly Seiryu celestial warriors, instead. Meanwhile, Yui becomes drastically twisted by her traumatic experience in Kutou and seeks to avenge herself on Miaka for abandoning her, by stealing Tamahome away and aligning herself with the evil Nakago to prevent Miaka from gathering the Suzaku celestial warriors. Volume #3 To save her newly adopted kingdom of Konan from impending catastrophe and restore her friendship with Yui, Miaka readily accepts her responsibilities as a priestess of Suzaku and continues her task of gathering together the legendary seven celestial warriors of Suzaku. As if the zombies, bandits and Kutou spies weren't bad enough, Miaka catches a deadly plague! Yui, now a priestess of Seiryu, is bent on hurting Miaka in any way possible and plots to seduce the captured Tamahome forever - body and soul! Can Miaka ever regain her friendship with Yui after such a betrayal? Volume #4 Summoning Suzaku! Deeply under Yui’s spell, Tamahome travels to Konan to kill the Suzaku Seven and settles the question as to who would win in a fight between Hotohori and Tamahome. When the day finally comes to summon Suzaku another turn of events reveals a traitor which is quickly and sadly resolved. Despite all this, Miaka and the Suzaku Seven happily prepare to search for the means to summon Suzaku again. But this respite is shortlived... |
