MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH features three junior high schoolgirls who find themselves magically transported from modern-day Japan to a fantasy world where they must work together to rescue a kidnapped princess.

MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH was originally a shoujo manga series by the four-woman team Clamp — which consists of Satsuki Igarashi, Ageha Ohkawa, Tsubaki Nekoi and Mokona Apapa. The series spawned two anime series in 1994, an original video animation in 1997, and six different video games released only in Japan.
