The Twelve Kingdoms (2002)

Juuni Kokuki / 十二国記

Information

Description

The Twelve Kingdoms” is about high school student Yoko Nakajima, who often stands out thanks to her naturally red hair but wants to cause as little trouble as possible. For a while now, she has been having dreams about unusual creatures. These dreams gradually become more intense until one day Keiki, a man with golden hair, appears in her classroom, kneels before her and asks her to take the throne. Yoko doesn’t even get to think about what is happening because immediately, the windows of the room shatter and several are injured. A little later, Yoko is taken against her will by Keiki to his world – a world with twelve kingdoms spread over several islands. Also brought along are her classmate Yuka, who sees this new world as an opportunity, and – against his will – her good friend, Ikuya.

Shortly after their arrival, the three are separated from Keiki by monster attacks and are soon on their own. They also quickly realise that they are not welcomed with open arms in this world. On the contrary, in their search for Keiki and, ultimately, a way home, Yoko and her companions stumble several times upon locals who seem to spell trouble for them. Only time will tell if Yoko can fulfil her intended destiny and what it holds for her two friends.
»12 Kingdoms: Juuni Kokki« handelt von der Oberschülerin Yoko Nakajima, die dank ihrer natürlich roten Haare des Öfteren auffällt, aber eigentlich so wenig wie möglich anecken möchte. Seit einer Weile hat sie Träume von ungewöhnlichen Kreaturen. Diese Träume werden nach und nach intensiver, bis eines Tages Keiki, ein Mann mit goldenen Haaren, in ihrem Klassenzimmer erscheint, vor ihr niederkniet und sie bittet, den Thron zu besteigen. Yoko kommt gar nicht erst dazu, den Vorfall zu verdauen, weil sogleich die Fenster des Zimmers zerbersten und etliche verletzt werden. Wenig später wird Yoko gegen ihren Willen von Keiki in seine Welt gebracht – eine Welt mit zwölf Königreichen, verteilt auf mehrere Inseln. Mitgekommen sind auch ihre Klassenkameradin Yuka, die diese neue Welt als Chance sieht, und – nicht gerade freiwillig – deren guter Freund Ikuya.

Kurz nach ihrer Ankunft werden die drei durch Monsterangriffe von Keiki getrennt und sind bald auf sich gestellt. Sie müssen auch schnell merken, dass sie in dieser Welt nicht mit offenen Armen empfangen werden. Im Gegenteil: Auf ihrer Suche nach Keiki und letztendlich einem Weg nach Hause stolpern Yoko und ihre Gefährten mehrfach in die Arme von Einheimischen, die ihnen nichts Gutes wollen. Nur die Zeit wird zeigen, ob Yoko ihr angedachtes Schicksal erfüllen kann und was dieses für ihre zwei Freunde bereithält.
