About the series
Chie Shinohara's sweeping historical fantasy Red River follows a modern-day Japanese schoolgirl who is mysteriously transported to the ancient Hittite Empire, where she becomes entangled in royal intrigue and prophecy. Originally serialized in Japan and collected in 28 volumes, this Viz Media release brought Shinohara’s lush, detailed art and epic romance to English-speaking readers, with lettering and adaptation by Mark McMurray and Lance Caselman. A standout of the shojo genre, it’s remembered for its immersive world-building and a strong-willed heroine navigating love and power in a vividly realized Bronze Age setting.
