Fushigi Yuugi

Yuuki Miaka's mother wants her to enter a famous high school. So Miaka studies hard but she is much more interested in eating than studying.
The day she is at the library with her best friend Hongo Yui, they open the book Shijintenchisho that transports them into it. In a world looking like medieval China, as they are being assaulted, bishounen Tamahome comes to the rescue.
The day after, back to the actual world, Miaka has an argument with her mother and decides to go back to the parallel universe by herself.

Miaka Yuuki is an ordinary junior-high student who is suddenly whisked away into the world of a book, The Universe Of The Four Gods. There she becomes the priestess of the god Suzaku, and is charged with finding all seven of her Celestial-Warrior protectors.

Fushigi Yuugi is a very good, epic romance tale. By mangaka Yuu Watase, this is most likely her most popular and famous work. It consists of 18 volumes, 106 chapters. There is an anime of the same name, consisting of 52 episodes. The anime follows the manga very closely, being volumes 1-13. There are also 3 OVA's for Fushigi Yuugi, the 1st being completely made for the anime in order to fill the gap between volume 13 and 14 since they did change the ending of the original anime series slightly. Volume 14-18 is seen in the Fushigi Yuugi OVA 2. Fushigi Yuugi 3 is a story made just for the anime, and it certainly not necessary to understand the entire series. Fushigi Yuugi is a wonderful love story, and has great art and a interesting plot.
