天は赤い河のほとり [Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori / Red River] #12

This twelfth volume of Chie Shinohara's beloved historical fantasy series continues its sweeping journey into the ancient Hittite world, signaled by the cover's warm, earthy tones and what appears to be an aged cuneiform tablet — evoking the deep antiquity at the heart of the story. The restrained, elegant design reflects the series' dedication to the Kingdom of the Hittites, printed right on the cover itself. A quietly compelling addition to a long-running shojo epic that takes its setting seriously and wears its passion for ancient history with genuine pride.
