When schoolgirl Takiko Okuda attempts to destroy her father's translation of "The Universe of the Four Gods," she is instead literally sucked into the story, becoming the Priestess of Genbu in an epic journey to find the seven Celestial Warriors!
In her first encounter, she meets the mysterious Rimudo, one of the Celestial Warriors who has a tattoo of the Chinese character for "woman" on his chest. As it turns out, it's there for a good reason: Rimudo can not only summon the wind as one of his special powers, but also transform into a woman! Caught up in pursuit, because Rimudo is regarded an outlaw, Takiko falls in with the bowman Chamuka, who is hunting Rimudo. Chamuka regards Takiko an outlaw as well, but they eventually become traveling companions, for it seems Chamuka is one of the seven Celestial Warriors as well...

Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden, Volume 1
The plot itself somehow didn't grab me, but I liked the main character Takiko and thought the art, historical research, writing etc was objectively well done. I especially liked the historical pages about early 20th century education and controversies over things like girls learning sports. There were a lot of details I hadn't know. Here's an example of some notes:
The sailor uniform now worn in so many Japanese schools first made its appearance in 1919 (Taisho year 8) at Yamakawa Girls' Academy in Tokyo.
Meiji 39 (1906) It was a fad to pronounce and write words backwards (Ex: "baka" --> "kaba" and call it "the New Esperanto."
Meiji 40 (1907) "Byuburu": the verb form of beauty. Refers to a guy with ho-hum looks pretending he's hot stuff.
There were female delinquent gangs by the first year Taisho.
