Plot Summary: Yoko
Nakajima, an unhappy high school student, is one day suddenly faced
with a strange man who swears allegiance to her. After a battle
with demon-like beasts, he then takes her to another world along
with two of her classmates. There, her appearance has changed and
she can understand the language even though her classmates cannot.
But their status as "Kaikyaku" (people who come from Japan) makes
them hunted fugitives, so they wander the land of the 12 countries,
simply trying to survive and to figure out the reason why they were
brought to this world.
Unlike many fantasy anime series, Twelve Kingdoms is not a romance
anime, but could be better described as a political thriller. The
primary focus is on the reaction of foreigners to the customs and
politics of a new world.
