[size=9]Miaka Yūki is a junior-high student desperate to pass the entrance exam for the illustrious Jonan High School. Her best friend Yui Hongo is a straight-A genius applying for the same school, and her mother is pushing her also in an attempt to see Miaka gets the best education available, although Miaka would rather attend Yotsubadai High School. The result is Miaka is constantly under pressure to study and attends juku (cram school) every day, when she’d rather be with her friends and eating.

During a study session with Yui in the library, Miaka drops something. As she chases it, she finds herself in the Restricted Section. As the girls go through the books, Miaka stumbles across The Universe of the Four Gods and both girls start to read. In a flash of bright red light, the two girls are then sucked into the book-world, and after an encounter with slave-traders and a man with "demon" written on his forehead (Tamahome), Yui is returned to Japan in another blast of red light, leaving Miaka alone and unaware of Yui's whereabouts. Back in the library, Yui is shocked when she finds that everything that occurred up until this point has been written in the book and continues reading, an outside observer to Miaka, who is still within the other universe.
Trying to find the boy who helped her earlier in an effort to locate Yui, Miaka travels the empire of Konan and runs into a gang looking to sell her to a brothel. Tamahome steps in and helps her again, and in trying to repay him, gets them into a sticky situation with the Emperor’s men. They try to escape the dungeon, only to come across the Emperor Hotohori himself, who explains that they believe Miaka is the legendary Priestess of Suzaku (Suzaku-no-Miko), a girl from another world who will gather Hong-Nan’s Celestial Warriors and summon the phoenix god, Suzaku. Doing so will grant her the power to grant any three wishes. Miaka decides to accept the responsibility, and already has a head-start, as Tamahome and Hotohori are two of the seven Celestial Warriors, distinguishable by characters for their respective constellations on their bodies. The third, Nuriko, is found quickly afterwards in a somewhat unconventional fashion, and soon Miaka and company are setting out across Hong-Nan in search of the other four warriors.
