Red River
Japanese title: Sora wa akai Kawa no Hotori [Sky by the Red River]: Anatolia Story

Youri, a pretty Japanese girl who just passed a college entrance exam, is ecstatic after her first kiss with her handsome childhood-friend-turned-boyfriend, Himuro. One night, hands appear out of a puddle on the street and drag her into the water. She emerges from the water to find that she has been transported to an ancient village somewhere in the Middle East. She is then captured by armed troops and taken to the queen's palace.

Youri learns that the queen had her kidnapped so she could offer her blood as part of a ritual that will kill two princes from other members that are in competition to inherit the kingdom. Youri manages to escape the palace and runs into a young man in the forest who saves her from her pursuers. This good-looking youth turns out to be Prince Kyle, one of the two princes the queen wants to kill. He takes Youri home and puts her under his protection inside his palace... Classic historical shoujo manga based on the history of the Hittites (an ancient kingdom around 2000-1000 BC in what is now Turkey).
