Fushigi Yugi is based on Yuu Watase’s manga of the same name. Hajime Kamegaki (Ceres, Celestial Legend, The World Is Still Beautiful) directed the series, which made its début in 1995, at Studio Pierrot. Yoshio Urasawa (Ranma ½, Nerima Daikon Brothers) took charge of series composition, while Hideyuki Motohashi (Harlock Saga, Inuyasha the Movie: Affections Touching Across Time) provided character designs.
Crunchyroll describes the series as follows:
Miaka, a junior high school student in Tokyo, has normal problems: fights with her mom, entrance exams, and deciding where she’s going to go eat with her friends. But when she finds a mysterious book in the library, her life is changed forever when she and her best friend are transported inside!
Pioneer originally released the Fushigi Yugi anime series in North America. The license was later acquired by Media Blasters, who released the title in 2012 and 2013.
Viz Media currently holds the domestic rights to the Fushigi Yugi manga. The company released the series as a serial in Animerica Extra magazine, as well as in collected volumes.
