Magic Knight Rayearth Volume One is the first volume in the Magic Knight Rayearth manga series.

Summary[]

The story begins with three middle school girls on a field trip to Tokyo Tower who are magically transported into the world of Cephiro. Upon the girls' arrival, they are suddenly accosted by a child-looking mage called Clef, who is much older than he looks. He explains to them a little about Cephiro, the situation it's in, and that they were summoned by Princess Emeraude to become the Magic Knights and save Cephiro. They are then attacked by Alcyone, one of Zagato's minions and a former student of Clef. Clef sends the three to the Forest of Silence to meet with Presea, who will forge for them the weapons they need for their quest.

On their way to Presea's, the girls are pursued and attacked by Alcyone, though Hikaru manages to fend off the ice witch with the fire magic she learned from Clef. Once the girls arrive at Presea's (and clear up the misunderstanding of them being intruders), the smith tasks them with going to the Spring of Eterna (with Mokona as their guide) to gather the needed mineral, Escudo, to create the weapons which will evolve with the user. The first volume ends with the girls being saved from a large monster in the Forest of Silence by a mysterious scarred man.


Anime Adaption[]

The adaption of this volume in the anime version is quite faithful, it takes places in episodes 1, 2 and 3. There were only slight minor changes such as Zagato turning Clef into stone, changing the appearance of Presea's hideout in the Forest of Silence, and the fight against a mud monster.
