Synopsis
In Japan of 1923, a 17-year-old girl named Takiko Okuda is living with her ill mother after recently moving to a small town. Her father comes home one day (he\'s never home, as he\'s a busy novelist), much to Takiko\'s chagrin. He apparently has been working on something called \"The Universe of the Four Gods\" and even after returning home, is obsessed with the book. Her mother soon dies and Takiko becomes angry at her father for ignoring the two of them. These feelings, paired with her feelings of loneliness and uselessness at being rejected both in love and by her father, lead her to attempt to tear the book apart. However, it instead whisks her away to the country of Hokkan(Beî Jîa) where all of her adventures begin.
