Just like the 1st Fushigi Yuugi, Genbu Kaiden is also about a girl who got transported to another world because of the book of The Universe of the Four Gods.
But unlike the first, this story happened many years back...before the time of Miaka ang Yui.
The main character was named Takiko Okuda.
Takiko was way too different from Miaka. For one thing, she's not as stupid as Miaka. Another thing, she's also not as careless as Miaka. Takiko can actually defend herself using a sword with a long handle. (don't know the name of it).

Anyway, Takiko hates her father for being so obsessive with his work even though Takiko's mother was suffering from Tuberculosis. (No medicine was invented for TB at that time).
Takiko's father was a writer and he was the one who translated the Chinese Universe of the Four Gods book into Japanese. (It's already mentioned in the first Fushigi Yuugi).
Takiko didn't know that her father was so obsessed with finishing the book because he knows that the book was powerful and it can grant any wishes.
What her father didn't expect was that Takiko was sucked inside the book and became the Priestess of Genbu (one of the four gods, Suzaku, Seiryu, Genbu and Biyako) Miaka who became the Priestess of Suzaku and Yui who became the Priestess of Seiryu were the main characters in the first FY.


Just like Miaka who fell in love with Tamahome, one of her seven celestial warriors (a priestess needs seven warriors to defend her), Takiko also fell in love with Uruki/Rimudo Roun. He has the power of the wind and he can only use it when he's woman. (Yes, he has the ability to change into woman form whenever he wishes.) His mark on the chest actually means "woman".
Compared to Tamahome who has a very poor family Rimudo is actually a royal blood! He is the sixteen-year-old crown prince of Hokkan. His father, the brother of the emperor tried to kill him because of a propecy that his son will kill him when the book opens and the periestess of Genbu come to their world.

Since it is mentioned in the 1st FY that Takiko Okuda died, I'm dying to know how Yuu Watase will end this manga. I hope it will still be a happy ending for Uruki and Takiko just like Miaka and Tamahome.
