Fushigi Yuugi (Anime)

Fushigi Yuugi is generally translated as "Mysterious Play" (sometimes "Curious Play") and chronicles the adventures of Miaka and Yui inside the book known as the Shijin Tenchishou. This is generally translated in English as "Universe of the Four Gods" although more literally it means "The Book of the Four Gods of Heaven and Earth".

The animated television series does follow the original story fairly close as far as volume thirteen although a few things are different. The later five volumes of the manga are condensed into the second OVA, meaning that a lot of things are simplified or changed for ease of conveyance.
