What is it about? The student Miaka opens the mysterious book “Kingdom of the Four Gods” in the national library and gets pulled into its pages. There, she lands in an ancient Chinese empire and must take on the fateful role of the legendary priestess of the god Suzaku.
The big problem: Miaka’s friend Yui was also pulled into the book. However, she ends up in the militaristic, cruel neighboring kingdom of Kutou and experiences a series of traumatic events there. Through the manipulative lies of the enemy general, Yui believes Miaka has abandoned and betrayed her. Out of sheer hatred, Yui becomes the priestess of the opposing god Seiryu.
Why is this an Isekai? Instead of a video game or an accident, the magical book is the portal to a parallel world. Miaka is thrown into a fantasy setting from mythology and must fulfill a predetermined world-saving destiny there.
