A brand new promotional video (PV) has been released for Chie Shinohara's iconic manga "Red River" (天は赤い河のほとり). The PV reveals the exciting events awaiting the main character Yuri and the title of the first episode: "Kiss of Parting and Meeting". It also shares preview frames and a brief summary with fans.

"Red River" is a 28-volume shōjo classic serialized in Shogakukan's Shōjo Comic magazine from 1995 to 2002. One of Chie Shinohara's most beloved works, the manga offers a historical fantasy romance: Yuri, a modern girl, finds herself in the ancient Hittite Empire and experiences a challenging love story with Prince Kail. The series, which previously received a short OVA adaptation in the 2000s, now returns as a full-fledged TV anime for fans.
This new adaptation holds great significance, especially for a generation that grew up reading the manga in the 2000s. Thanks to Shinohara's detailed ancient world-building and character depth, the series has maintained its popularity over the years. Although the release date for the first episode has not yet been determined, the promotional video and special program are thought to be preparation for the broadcast. Fans eagerly await how faithful the anime will be to the original manga and its visual quality.
More details, including the full voice cast and exact release date, are expected to be shared in the coming days. The "Red River" anime is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting productions of the year, both for longtime fans and new viewers discovering the series for the first time.
