*POLICY* I am happy to share my synopsis with other pages, however all I ask for is some credit. If you would like to use my summaries on your page, please ask first. If you don't feel like e-mailing me, at least link to my page from your site. I just like to know that they're not going to be ripped off, and I will always let people use them if they ask. Also, if anyone knows of a page that has ripped off my summaries, please contact me about that.

*SPELLING AND GRAMMAR* I have gone over most of the summaries for mistakes, however there still may be quite a few I've missed. I'm sure there are no significant errors, so for all your purists out there please don't fault me for stupid mis-spellings thanks.

*ABBREVIATIONS* Due to laziness, I went a little lax on typing out the full names of some characters and things in the synopsis. So there is no confusion, here's a list of them: (real name/abbreviation) Tamahome/Tama, Hotohori/Hoto, Mitsukake/Mits, Nakago/Nak, Keisuke/Kei, and Taiisukun/Taii. Also, since "The Universe of Four Gods" got annoying to write over and over again, I abbreviate it as "TUOFG".

*TRANSLATION* I wrote these summaries before Fushigi Yuugi became commercial. Because my copies were fansubbed, some episode titles may vary in translation from the commercial subs. This also goes for the spelling of names and places. I haven't seen the commercial subs so I can't think of any differences in particular. Let me also note here that I used a couple terms that some may not know the meaning off in many of the summaries: "Baka" means stupid, dummy, or idiot and "LOL" is internet language for "laugh out loud".

*CHARACTER PRONOUNCIATION* As you are reading along, you may wonder how exactly characters pronounce their names. Here I'll list how to pronounce them phonetically, however there may be some errors because Japanese don't make the "R" sound like we do. It sounds more like "L". (this is sometimes known as "Engrish" ^_^) Here's how I pronounce them, so if someone finds a major error let me know so I can correct it: Miaka/Mee-ah-kah, Yui/You-ee, Tamahome/Tah-mah-home-ae, Hotohori/Hoe-toe-hore-ee, Nuriko/New-ree-ko, Chichiri/Chee-chee-ree, Tasuki/Tahs-kee, Mitsukake/Mits-kock-ae, Chiriko/chee-ree-ko, Nakago/Nah-kah-go, Amiboshi/Ah-mee-boe-shee, Suboshi/Sue-boe-shee, Soi/Soy, Ashitare/Ash-tare, Tomo/Toe-moe, Miboshi/Mee-boe-shee, Taiisukun/Tie-ee-sue-kun, Nyan Nyan/Nee-yahn Nee-yahn, Keisuke/Ke-sue-kay, Tetsuya/Tet-sue-yah

*MORE ON KEISUKE AND TETSUYA* When I composed these summaries, I didn't quite grasp what Keisuke and Tetsuya were doing some of the time because they're scenes weren't usually long and they did a LOT of running around and talking in those short scenes. I didn't quite make it too clear in the individual summaries exactly what they were doing (or maybe I did, but not good enough), so here I will explain their part in the story: Keisuke took over as narrator of the novel when Yui and Miaka were both Mikos in the book. On his way out of the library, he meets up with his friend Tetsuya, who also becomes involved in reading the book. They do some research on the book and find out that the author killed his daughter and then himself...but why? It is uncovered that the author's daughter was the first Miko of the book, Genbu No Miko. It is said that after a Miko makes the last of her 3 wishes, her body is devoured by her God, in other words, she is a sacrifice. The author, to prevent his daughting from becoming Genbu's sacrifice, he killed his daughter himself, and committed suicide soon after. After learning this, Keisuke realizes that Miaka is going to become a sacrifice to Suzaku if she calls him. After a failed attempt to get Miaka to come back home, they venture to the home of Byakko No Miko, who is dying. When she dies, and they see her spirit and the spirit of Tatara reunite, Keisuke is extremely touched by the fact that their love surpassed death...and he thinks in regards to Tamahome and Miaka's love. As the climax of the show approaches, the real world and the book world become mixed up, thanks to Tamahome accidentally traveling to the real world with Miaka. This makes Keisuke and Tetsuya characters in the book as well, and all their conversations and actions appear in the book as they are being carried out! With almost all hope lost, Keisuke yells into the book asking Tasuki and Chichiri to come to real world to save Miaka, which they do.
