天は赤い河のほとり

Sora wa Akai Kawa no hotori Literal: By the banks of the Red River English release: Red River

by Chie Shinohara

Release: 1995
Format: Comic Book
Genre: Science Fiction
Audience: Adults
Content: Definite Time Travel
Original Language: Japanese

Shortly after her first kiss, fifteen-year-old Yuri is transported back to the Hittite Empire in ancient Anatolia where she becomes involved in royal intrigue.

The adventure was originally published in sixty chapters of Sho̅jo Comic starting in early 1995. The chapters were collected into 28 volumes for book publication, also starting in 1995. For me, it’s unique enough that I’ll break the rule of no-post-1969 comic book time travel.

Please send me a note if you know the date of the first Sho̅jo, or better yet, please send a scan of the cover!

This place looks like the prop room for the Trojan War.
