Summary:
The story starts off with the main character Yoko Nakajima, president of her high school class being all depressed and disatisfied with her life. This would change when her and 2 of her class mates are taken to a different world by a mysterious man. When she arives there her face and hair look completely different, and they are nearly abondoned in this world full of prejudice which seems to be on the brink of war.
She discovers that she was brought there because she was destined to be the next ruler of one of the 12 kingdoms, and the mysterious man who brought her there is her gaurdian beast (unicornXD). The rest of the show deals with her becoming a stronger person who can deal with her own problems, and how she grows to become a great ruler that can restore the poverty stricken country she inherited.
Overall this series is OK. Its starts off a little slow, but it gets better as it goes along. The animation style, while good, looked... "akward," and took me a while at least to get used to it. The "fantasy" aspect of this show is well done EXCEPT the talking rodent the main character had as a best friendXD He actually has a big role, I would have preferred if he looked less Rat-ish.
The only real shame about this show is just as its starts to get good they cut it off. It had no real conclusion, and there were a lot of unanswered sub plots. Assuming this anime is based of a set of Novels I'm assuming I could find my answers there thoughXD
And just a personal note I really hate the main character and all her friends, they're so winey and annoying! The Kirin gaurdians (especially Keiki) are awsome though, so they make up for it^.^
(This anime is a lot like Fushigi Yuugi... except with no romantic developmentsXD)
