The Twelve Kingdoms - S01

Youko Nakajima has only ever wanted to be normal. She does what she is told, gets good grades, serves as class president, and helps her classmates whenever she can, but her red hair has always kept her from fitting in. With her pushover attitude, she lets classmates take advantage of her, so she has no one she can really call a friend. But on an otherwise ordinary day, a man who claims to be from another world barges into Youko's classroom and bows before her. This elegant blond-haired man, Keiki, says that Youko is his master and belongs on the throne of his kingdom. Their first meeting is cut short, though, because Keiki has been followed by otherworldly beasts called youma. He manages to escape with Youko into his own realm, but two other classmates, Ikuya Asano and Yuka Sugimoto, are caught up in the chaos as well. Unfortunately, their troubles have only just begun, as the youma attack leaves them separated from Keiki. Alone in this strange new land, these ordinary students must learn to fend for themselves or die.
