Synopsis
Miaka and Taka's peace shatters when Mayo opens the cursed book, reigniting peril across two worlds.
Years after their legendary adventure, Miaka and Taka have built a peaceful life together. Their quiet happiness, however, is about to be tested once more. When a troubled high-school student named Mayo discovers the ancient book that once pulled Miaka into its mystical world, she finds herself drawn to its pages—and to the power they hold. As Mayo’s fascination with the book grows, strange disturbances begin to ripple through both the real world and the realm within the pages. With the boundary between the two worlds once again at risk, Taka must confront the possibility that the story he thought had ended may have only just begun. A new chapter unfolds in the tale of The Universe of the Four Gods, where love, destiny, and the fragile threads that bind worlds together are put to the ultimate test.
After years of hardships interfered with their love, Miaka Yuuki and Taka Sukunami are finally married and expecting a baby—the pinnacle of their unbreakable bond. Unfortunately, not everyone rejoices alongside the blessed couple. Mayo Sakaki, one of Taka's students, has a crush on him and cannot bear witnessing the pair's flourishing relationship. Upon discovering The Universe of the Four Gods, Mayo learns that the old book is where Miaka and Taka first met as the priestess of the god Suzaku and the god's Celestial Warrior Tamahome. Unscrupulous about destroying a happy family, Mayo readily ventures inside with hopes of becoming the new priestess of Suzaku and rewriting the story to her advantage. Meanwhile, her actions do not delay to show devastating effects. Leaving an unconscious Miaka at the hospital, Taka must follow Mayo to The Universe of the Four Gods and stop her before the circumstances worsen for his wife and their unborn child.
