I see the tarot cards in my dreams. I turn them over in hopes of finding all the answers - Who am I?
Where do I come from? Why are these people after me? But when I turn over the last card, it is always blank.
My name is Kaguya. I thought I was an ordinary high-school girl. That is, until a crazy sorcerer appeared in my bedroom
one night and transported me to another planet where people call me princess Now, the questions in my dream are more urgent
than ever. Will I ever get home again..or is
this my home?

Planet Ladder Volume 6
First TOKYOPOP printing: February 2004
Ancient prophesy dictates that one of the nine worlds will be saved while the other eight perish in a great apocalypse. Princess Kaguya learns that fate has saddled her with the responsibility of choosing which of the nine worlds survives. However, at the moment of her choosing, Kaguya shocks everyone with her declaration that she will not choose one. Instead, she will find a partner with whom she will work toward salvation for all. Her naive idealism, though, leaves no room for the greed and corruption already spread across the nine worlds like a virus. The Emperor Kura, for one, will stop at nothing to control all worlds. So whereas Kaguya sees her message as a call for peace and unification, Kura and many like him see it as a call to arms in a multi-dimensional war that could mean the destruction of the entire known universe.

I only hope that my brother Kagami can send me some kind of a message or sign about waht to do. And I hope that Bambi and Prince Seeu will be able to save me before it's too late and Kura does something that will destroy us all...forever.
