12. 12 Kokuki

Based on a novel of the same title written by Ono Fuyumi (published by Kodansha), the story is about Yoko Nakajima, a girl who felt compelled to keep up an image of being a model student both in school and also at home.

One day, a man named Keiki showed up suddenly and recognised Yoko as his master. From that moment on, her life began to change dramatically.

Along with a couple of her classmates, she was taken by Keiki into a fantasy world made up of 12 Kingdoms. There, she became lost and separated from Keiki. Hunted by demons and mistreated by everyone (even her own classmates), she becomes strong through the ordeals she faced in order to survive in the world of the 12 Kingdoms and uncovers the destiny that lay in store for her.
