MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1998. Stopped in 2001 after 6 issues.

Three 14-year old schoolgirls are suddenly teleported from modern Tokyo to a magical, parallel world called Cephiro, where they need to befriend royalty, high priests, and knights in order to deal with several types of foes they meet on their way. Only if they succeed they can return to Tokyo. Among the many occurring characters are the intelligent Fuu Hououji, the quick-tempered Umi Ryuuzaki, and the tomboyish Hikaru Shidou.
