Description
Except for her red hair, Youko Nakajima is a typical, obedient Japanese high-school student. Her life is fairly ordinary—that is, until Keiki, a kirin in the guise of a blond-haired man, tells her that she is his master and must return to their kingdom. When he mysteriously vanishes, Youko is left alone, confused, and wandering through a foreign land with nothing to help protect her save a magic sword and a magic stone. When Keiki suddenly appears at Youko’s school, little does she realize that her life is about to change. Lost in a strange land -- without a map -- and demons on her trail, Youko begins her quest for both survival and self-discovery. (Source: Tokyopop)

I've seen the Anime and its very good. Even if some stuff has an odd pacing and feels out of place... Then read the novel and all made perfect sense and wished they followed it more close on the anime. Still the Anime got a more EPIC feeling to it.

Then discovered that there is a manga out there and nobody is translating it.... which is surprising considering ho popular and amazing Juuni Kokki is... Plus so many awefull manga gets translated and double/triple translated everyday...

Anw, please try to read this manga or the novel! it is amazing and one of the best out there.

The story is great and the characters are very well thought. The author has developed her own world based on several chinese/japanese mythologies and the plot works really well. There are numerous sidestories and developments between characters and plenty to add up between all the countries. One of the best developed fiction settings/universes I've ever seen (like lotr, star wars, star trek, etc).

Twelve Kingdoms is one of my favourite novels.The story is great, the characters are awesome and I just love the setting!
The translations from Tokyopop are pretty poor, but don`t lose hope, because some awesome persons translated it! You can find the website where you can read and download the novel in english easily on the internet (!google!).
If you have problems finding it just message me and I send you the link.

Have fun reading it!
