WartaGate.com – Exciting news has arrived for fans of classic 1990s manga. One legendary title, Red River, has officially been confirmed for an anime adaptation and is scheduled to air in summer 2026.

The anime adaptation was officially announced alongside the release of its first teaser poster. The project will be produced by the well-known animation studio Tatsunoko Production, which has worked on many popular series. The announcement was immediately met with enthusiasm from longtime fans who have been waiting for an animated version of the manga.

Red River, also known by its Japanese title Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori, is a work by manga artist Chie Shinohara. The manga was first published in January 1995 and concluded in June 2002, spanning a total of 28 tankōbon volumes. During its run, the series attracted readers with its blend of fantasy, romance, and political drama.

The story centers on a teenage girl named Yuri Suzuki, who is suddenly transported back in time. She arrives in Hattusa, the capital of the ancient Hittite Empire in Anatolia. Her arrival is no coincidence, as Queen Nakia summons Yuri to be used as a human sacrifice.

Yuri’s blood is believed to possess special powers that can be used to curse the kingdom’s princes. Queen Nakia plans to exploit Yuri so that her own son can become the sole heir to the throne. However, Yuri repeatedly escapes various traps and palace intrigues.

As the story unfolds, Yuri is believed to be the reincarnation of the goddess Ishtar and begins to display extraordinary powers. In her struggle to survive amid the kingdom’s political conflicts, Yuri also develops a romantic relationship with the Hittite Empire’s third prince, Kail.

This combination of romance, fantasy, and political intrigue is what has kept Red River appealing to readers to this day. It is no surprise that fans are eagerly awaiting how Yuri and Kail’s adventure will be brought to life in anime form in 2026.
