Summary: This is the long awaited Genbu Arc!!!!

Takiko Okuda is a strong-willed girl living in the Taisho Era. She needs to be strong -- Oosugi, the one man she's ever loved, is a married man; her mother is terminally ill; and her father, Einosuke, has not been home in over a year. When at last Einosuke returns, it's with a notebook full of Chinese scribblings that seem more important to him than the death of his wife. Furious, Takiko steals away his completed translation -- "The Universe of the Four Gods" -- with the intention of tearing it to shreds, but the instant she opens it, she's surrounded by light... and it is said that this is how the legend of the Priestess of Genbu began.

MINI SPOILER-ISH (IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE ORIGINAL "FUSHIGI YUUGI"):
One of the guardians seems to know what awaits him if he teams himself with the Priestess of Genbu, and he is in no hurry to meet that fate. When he sides with the enemies of Genbu's Hokkan it appears he may even do all that is within his power to defy it. How can Takiko summon the Genbu and save the ailing country without all seven of the Shichi Seishi?
