1The Girl of Legend1995-04-0625 minFourteen year old Miaka Yukiâ's life centred on two things: passing her high school entrance exams, and getting to eat all of her favourite dishes! But when Miaka accompanies her friend Yui to the National Library, her whole life is turned upside down when she finds herself drawn to the Restricted Section, and to a mysterious book entitled "The Universe of the Four Gods".

Are the remaining celestial warriors among their number, or will they end up finding the next seishi in an far unlikelier place?4Missing Love1995-04-2725 minThe Imperial concubine Nuriko has been revealed to be the third seishi, but as Miaka soon discovers, helping the Priestess of Suzaku is the last thing on Nuriko's mind! As Nuriko continues her campaign to monopolise Tamahome and make Miaka's life hell, Miaka nonetheless decides that she must make friends with the concubine, no matter what it takes. But will even Miaka's open and honest nature be able to win over the selfish and scheming Nuriko?5Bewildered Heartbeat1995-05-0425 minThe stress and exhaustion of Miaka's adventures in the book have finally taken the toll, leaving the Priestess of Suzaku feverish and weak.
