About Fushigi Yuugi!

The story of Fushigi Yuugi and The Universe of the Four Gods begins when Miaka and her best friend Yui go to the Tokyo library after school. Near a drink machine, Miaka witnesses a beautiful red bird fly up the stairs and into a dark room of books reserved for staff only.

Miaka and Yui go into the room, where they discover an ancient Chinese book called "The Universe of the Four Gods". Yui; who can read the language, opens the book with Miaka and begins:

This is the story of a girl
who single-handedly gathered the Seven Stars of Suzaku
and gained the power to make all of her dreams come true.
The story itself is an incantation
and whomever reads it gains the main character's power
to have their wishes granted.
As soon as the page is turned,
the story will become real and begin.

Thus begins the adventure. Here, Miaka will soon meet Tamahome, and the emperor of the Konan Empire, Hotohori. She is told the legend of The Universe of the Four Gods, and accepts the role of Suzaku no Miko. She must collect all seven of Suzaku's celestial warriors to save Konan and make all of her dreams come true.

Fushigi Yuugi is a story filled with humor, tragedy, courage, and hope. But most importantly, it's about friendship, love, and the preservation of these relationships you share with others.
