Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play

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.
