Red River also known as Anatolia Story, is a historical fantasy shōjo manga series by Chie Shinohara.

Story:
The story is about a 15 year old girl named Yuri Suzuki who is transported through water from Japan to the Hittite Empire by the evil queen Nakia who means to use Yuri as a human sacrifice to kill the crown princes and put her son Juda on the throne.As the story progress, however, Yuri not only repeatedly manages to escape Nakia's scheming, she also becomes revered as an incarnation of the goddess Ishtar and falls in love with prince Kail.

Art:
The art of this manga is fairly simple and yet very intriguing. You can tell that this manga was made in the 1990's.


Characters:
I loved the characters in this story. Although a little annoying at times, Yuri was my favorite by far. She went from being a weak, very annoying character to a strong willed, kindhearted fascinating character.


Enjoyment:
I enjoyed this manga very much. I loved how Chie Shinohara works a love story into the historical point of view.
It was fascinating and wonderful. I would definitely read this manga again.

Overall I would rate this a 9 but if the story had been slightly better it would have been a 10.
