Miaka Yuki is a middle school student whose biggest problem is getting into high school because she is dumb as a post. She and her transgender friend, Yui Hongo, go to the library and are pulled into a book (the universe of the four gods) where they are attacked by some rough gangsters in ancient China. The two are saved by Tamahome, a warrior of the Suzaku Seven. Then Yui is expelled from the book and Miaka becomes the priestess of Suzaku until Yui is later pulled back in to become the priestess of Seriyuu.
