Review: A classic and still a high point within the shoujo subgenre where a girl gets dropped in a random time period. It will seem dated at some points, but it innovated many of the conventions seen in later series of its type.

 

[sedition]

I honestly can't remember how many times I've read this manga back when I first discovered the medium. It's an all time classic.

Isn’t it missing the last bit? I can’t remember

One of my favourite all time mangas.

This is one of my all time favorite mangas! Technically it's one of the original Isekai type mangas (in my opinion!) I was in a rut and was looking for a manga just like Fushigi yugi (which was my #1 at the time... I found this and boom, it pushed FY from my top spot in just 3 chapters! Hahahah

Highly recommended because of the strong heroine, awesome male lead, and solid story! The art is beautiful too, if you just give it a chance :'D my only complaint is that I wish we had more. (I also want an anime adaptation lol)

Shinohara Chie's Anatolia Story / Red River was one of the first isekai I ever read and it still stands heads and shoulders above it's contemporaries and more modern takes. Yuri is the poster child for adapting to her circumstances and thrives in a way she never would in modern-day Japan. I read this back when it was first scanlated, around 2007/2008 and I think I've reread it every year since then. It sparked my interest in archaeology (something I do for a living now) and taught me to expect better from historical fiction. All characters are balanced well and have well thought-out backstories and motivations. I feel for the side characters and villains as I do for our main heroine and the main love interest. Everyone feels like their live and breath this universe, that lives carry on without the reader there - a testament to her fantastic world building, attention to detail, and direction. Comics take a lot of planning and you can see Shinohara thought about every frame and aesthetic she could when parsing out her chapters.

If you haven't read this, or Shinohara's other works, you are doing yourself a disservice.

Wait, isnt' it missing a lot of chapters? Is there any place where I can read it all?

 

[Diamond-hime]

Nostalgia brings me here, i really loved this story but i wonder why this website lacks the remaining chapter ?

 

[yeyo69]

among all the manga i've read more than 5 years ago, this is one of the really few i still have the story in head and it still put me trough several emotion just thinking about the story

(i must say i have a generally bad long term memory and you can imagine this is one of my best manga ever)

 

[Lufia]

One of the best and the first isekai story i have dive into 😉

 

[rikiwichman]

red river <3 this is one of my favourite's, i have all the books in my collection even the fan, art & anniversary books. one thing i wished in this manga was her seeing her family again, even if there was like a magical water mirror or if nakia brought one of her sisters to that time too. Yuri is one of the best female leads in these old stories.

Definitely one of the best isekai manga series before it even became popular. Anyone into that genre should read this one, Anatolia Story, From Far Away (Kanata Kara), and Saver, they are some of my all time favorites!

Spoiler

But damn the ending of this series really got me sad, Yuri ends up marrying Kail but only for him to pass away later in his years, I don’t remember I could be wrong but Yuri ends up getting exiled by her own son only to pass away in old age.
