Overview
The Twelve Kingdoms, Part 1: Shadow of the Moon, The Sea of Shadow (2002)
Yoko Nakajima, an unhappy high school student, is one day suddenly faced with a strange man who swears allegiance to her. After a battle with demon-like beasts, he then takes her to another world along with two of her classmates. There, her appearance has changed and she can understand the language even though her classmates cannot. But their status as "Kaikyaku" (people who come from Earth) makes them hunted fugitives, so they wander the land of the 12 countries, simply trying to survive and to figure out the reason why they were brought to this world.

The fate of those who live within the Twelve Kingdoms is intertwined in such ways that only the Heavens can understand their true meaning. Instead of being born as a holy beast of power, Taiki - the Kirin of Tai - was born as the first son of the Takazato family in Japan. But a quiet, lonely life is not the destiny of one such as Taiki, because the will of the Heavens can never be denied. Returned to the Twelve Kingdoms, he must fulfill his duty and choose the next King of Tai.
