Middle-school student Miaka Yūki feels a lot of pressure to pass the entrance exam for the competitive Jonan Academy. Her friends do not believe she will get in, but she is determined to because her best friend, Yui Hongo, has applied for the same school and she wants them both to go to the school together. While at the library one day, Miaka and Yui encounter a strange book known as The Universe of the Four Gods. As a result of reading this book, they are then transported into the novel's universe. However, Yui is transported back to the real world almost immediately. Inside the novel Miaka discovers that she is the Priestess of Suzaku and destined to gather the seven Celestial Warriors of the god Suzaku in order to summon Suzaku and obtain three wishes. She falls in love with the Celestial Warrior Tamahome, who eventually reciprocates and Miaka's desire to use a wish to enter the high school of her choice begins to shift towards finding a way to be with Tamahome. Yui, who is also drawn into the book when she was trying to help Miaka to come back to the real world, becomes the Priestess of Seiryuu, working against Miaka out of jealousy over Tamahome and revenge for the humiliation and pain she had suffered when she first came to the book world.

Among the enormous number of authors and artists in the manga world, Watase is one of the most well-known and most famous; particularly for Fushigi Yuugi and Ayashi no Ceres. Yuu Watase is the manga author and writer of Fushigi Yuugi, the mysterious play. Yuu Watase wrote more than 80 compiled volumes and short stories since she wrote her debut short story, "Intrusion in pajamas", and her works take up the shojo category in majority. She also won the Shogakukan manga award, and is currently 40 years old. Almost all of her mangas are ongoing; and among them is Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden. Her only single shonen manga is named Arata Kangatari. Because of her frequent use of beautiful male characters in her works, she is widely regarded in circles[which?] as a bishōnen mangaka.[citation needed] In October 2008, Watase began her first shonen serialization, Arata: The Legend in Weekly Shōnen Sunday.
Her name is romanized as "Yû Watase" in earlier printings of Viz Media's publications of Fushigi Yūgi, Alice 19th, and Ceres, The Celestial Legend, while in Viz Media's Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden and Absolute Boyfriend her name is romanized as "Yuu Watase". In Chuang Yi's English-language versions of Fushigi Yugi (spelled without a macron or circumflex), her name is romanized as "Yu Watase".
