Story
Yuri, an upbeat Japanese girl, is on cloud nine after acing her college entrance exam and sharing her first kiss with her childhood-friend boyfriend — until strange things start happening. Water seems to churn and stir whenever she gets near it. Then one night, hands reach up from a puddle in the street and drag her under. She wakes up in an ancient Middle Eastern village, is captured by armed soldiers, and is brought to a queen’s palace to be used as a human sacrifice.

About the Manga
Red River is based on the manga by Chie Shinohara, which ran in Shogakukan’s Shōjo Comic (Sho-Comi) magazine from 1995 to 2002. The story was later adapted into a stage production by the celebrated all-female Takarazuka Revue troupe in 2018.
Viz Media has published the manga in English since 2004, completing all 28 volumes by 2010. The publisher relaunched the series in 3-in-1 omnibus editions in October 2024; the seventh omnibus volume went on sale on April 21.
