Junior high school student Miaka lives a normal life in Tokyo until she finds a mysterious book in the library, and she and her friend Yui are transported the Universe of the Four Gods. Upon arriving in this new universe, the girls are immediately attacked by would-be slavers and saved by a dashing young man. When Miaka isn't looking, both Tamahome and Yui vanish. Unbeknownst to Miaka, Yui has been sucked back into the real world. Back in the library, all she can do is read on as Miaka sets out for the city to find the mysterious young boy and save her friend. But what awaits for Miaka isn't what either of the girls expect—and now Miaka's only way back to her world is to become the Priestess of Suzaku and save their world.

"I couldn't decide whether to like or dislike. I decided dislike because I often forget about it and I never finished it. In my hunt for new isekais I came across this and watched it. I made it past the first episode but I did not finish. I got pretty far but I couldn't even tell you where I stopped. I just remember being done. It's fine enough and I think the competing icons was a nice twist. However, it does have some adult vibes that I did not expect for girls in middle school. Honestly it acted like they were in college, so I'm not sure how to feel about that. Although, I liked the premise and I found it fun when I did watch it. Maybe someday I will find the energy to finish it, but I'm not sure that'll happen soon."
