Miaka, a junior high school student in Tokyo, has normal problems: fights with her mom, entrance exams, and deciding where she's going to go eat with her friends. But when she finds a mysterious book in the library, her life is changed forever when she and her best friend are transported inside!
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.

Kouta has girl troubles of the supernatural sort. For some reason, he keeps attracting the attention (and affections) of animal spirits! Having spent most of his life in the country, Kouta is understandably nervous when he moves in with his grandma to attend a high school in the big city. He hoped to make a good impression, but having Chizuru, a beautiful fox spirit, hanging off his arm didn't seem to be the sort of image he wanted to have. She's not alone in her love for Kouta, either. Nozomu, a wolf spirit, as well as other youkai have their sights set on the hapless country boy.
High school student Hiiragi Seiichi is bullied by his classmates for being a "loser." One day, his entire school is suddenly transported to a video game-like world of swords and sorcery. When he accidentally eats "the Fruit of Evolution," his life as a successful "winner" begins.
In a city of the dead, long since ruined and far from human civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and he's being raised by three undead: the hearty skeletal warrior, Blood; the graceful mummified priestess, Mary; and the crotchety spectral sorcerer, Gus. The three pour love into the boy, and teach him all they know. But one day, Will starts to wonder: "Who am I?" Will must unravel the mysteries of this faraway dead man's land, and unearth the secret pasts of the undead. He must learn the love and mercy of the good gods, and the bigotry and madness of the bad. And when he knows it all, the boy will take his first step on the path to becoming a Paladin.
