Nakago


While visiting the National Library, junior-high students Miaka Yuuki and Yui Hongo are transported into the world of a mysterious book set in ancient China, “The Universe of The Four Gods.” Miaka suddenly finds herself with the responsibility of being the priestess of Suzaku, and must find all of her celestial warriors for the purpose of summoning Suzaku for three wishes. However, the enemy nation of the god Seiryuu has manipulated Yui into becoming the priestess of Seiryuu. As enemies, the former best friends begin their long struggle to summon their respective gods and obtain their wishes… [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Instead of finding textbooks to study with, Miaka Yuki finds an old book which turns out to be rather absorbing--literally.
An encounter with the Emperor of Konan leads to Miaka discovering her purpose and her destiny in this new world.
Miaka must find the seven Celestial Warriors, and she already has two. The third soon reveals himself, but it's not a joyous occasion.
Miaka comes to understand Nuriko's true feelings, and in assisting him, learns Hotohori's true feelings as well. But Tamahome's true feelings are still elusive.
In order to return her to her own world, the Celestial Warriors accompany Miaka to a mountain where Taiitsukun, a being said to control the universe, is said to reside.
Trapped in a mirror, Miaka faces herself in an all too literal way. When her shadow steps from the mirror to torment her friends, Miaka must make a difficult choice.
Taiitsukun reveals herself to Miaka and the others, and reveals the way to return Miaka to her home. However, not everything goes as planned.
Miaka returns home, only to find herself restless. She struggles with deciding where she belongs. And Yui seems to have disappeared... but where to?
Back in the world of the book, Miaka visits the home of Tamahome. However, Miaka soon learns that things have changed, as an assassin from another country targets her.
Troubled by advice from Chichiri, and in search of the missing Yui, Miaka travels to Kuto alone, leaving Tamahome with an aching heart.
Miaka is the Priestess of Suzaku, and it turns out that Yui is the Priestess of Seiryu. So much has changed, but the two are still friends... right?
Though distraught over Yui's pain and rage, Miaka commits herself once again to assembling the Suzaku Seven... and to Tamahome.
Tamahome gives himself to the Kuto Empire in order to buy Miaka time to find the other Suzaku Seven. Miaka's search doesn't go smoothly, however.
Miaka searches for the fifth of the Celestial Warriors among bandits, but ends up being taken hostage by a strange man with a wolf-like appearance.
It seems that Tasuki, the fifth Celestial Warrior, is dead. Miaka pursues a rumor about someone with the ability to resurrect the dead, but falls gravely ill.
Miaka must die in order for the healer Shoka's powers of revival to work. Hotohori makes one last plea to a reclusive doctor, where he learns the truth about Shoka.
After days of fruitless searching, an attempt on Miaka's life reveals the seventh of the Suzaku Seven, the flute-playing Chiriko.
With the help of Chichiri's powers, Miaka and Tamahome make a promise to meet so they may be reunited. Yui refuses to let Tamahome go.
Miaka escapes from prison following Yui's ambush, and searches for Tamahome. Unfortunately, when she finds him, she'll almost wish she hadn't.
Tamahome is not the same Tamahome that Miaka knows and loves any more. With her heart torn apart, Miaka must say goodbye, and leave him with Yui and the Kuto Empire.
