When gluttonous, underachieving schoolgirl Miaka and her best friend Yui find a strange book in the library, it changes their lives forever. ''Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho'' (literally, ''The Four Gods Earth and Sky'', but rendered as ''The Universe of the Four Gods'' in the North American release) is an ancient book that is a gateway into another world that resembles medieval China -- a gateway through which Miaka and Yui fall. Although Yui is sent back to Japan almost immediately, Miaka is trapped in the story. There she finds that she is the ''Suzaku no Miko'' -- the prophesied priestess of the god Suzaku, who must gather together seven holy warriors in order to summon the god and save the country of Konan from its enemy, the country of Kutou.

* [[Important Haircut]]: Mitsukake, just before he [[Took a Level In Badass]]

* [[In the Name of the Moon]]: Spoofed in the first episode.

** Also, in episode 5, Miaka strikes a [[Sailor Moon]] pose when dreaming about the food, which makes sense, since [[Kae Araki]], [[Actor Allusion|the voice of Miaka, played Chibi-Usa and briefly, Usagi]], in ''Sailor Moon''.

* [[It Got Worse]]: The series takes a darker turn about halfway through, starting with {{spoiler|the brutal murder of Tamahome's family}}.
