Have you ever wanted to lose yourself in a book? I’m not just talking about pageturners that you can’t put down; I mean to literally lose yourself inside the pages of one of your favorite fictional worlds. Well, that’s exactly what happens to junior high school students Miaka Yuki and Yui Hongo when they find themselves transported inside the world of a book about a mystical version of ancient China. These two best friends suddenly find themselves archenemies; the book casts them in the roles of priestesses serving rival gods and kingdoms. A healthy dose of political intrigue, sweeping romance, and more bishounen than you’ll know what to do with follows. Long before the isekai trend took hold of Japan’s anime industry by the throat, Fushigi Yugi set the bar for what we should expect from being transported to another world. ( Amazon Prime Video)
