The upcoming Red River anime has received a main trailer. It was announced last month that it would begin airing on July 7 at 25:35 JST (effectively July 8 at 01:35 JST).
Red River (Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori) adapts the manga by Chie Shinohara. Viz Media describes the manga’s synopsis as such:
Yuri, a pretty Japanese girl, is ecstatic after passing her college entrance exam and having her first kiss with her childhood friend-turned boyfriend. However, her luck soon changes. She starts to notice that water becomes agitated whenever she goes near it. One night, hands appear out of a puddle on the street and drag her into the water! Transported to an ancient village in the Middle East, she is then captured by armed troops and taken to the Queen’s palace for a human sacrifice.
Kosuke Kobayashi (Waccha PriMagi!, The Master of Ragnarök & Blesser of Einherjar) is directing the anime at Tatsunoko Production. The main cast includes Mirai Tachibana as Yuri and Wataru Kato as Kail.
The Red River manga debuted in Shogakukan’s Shojo Comic magazine in 1995 and released its 28th and final volume in 2002.
