ヒッタイト帝国の正式な皇太子にカイルが選ばれ、継承問題は解決したかにみえた。だが、ナキア皇太后は新たな陰謀を企てていた。ある日、元老院の議長の娘・ギュゼル姫が1人の子供を連れてやってくる。なんとそれはカイルの子だというのだ。本当だとすれば、息子・ジュダを帝位につけるというナキア皇太后の望みは遠くなるはず。陰謀の目的がつかめず不安な夕梨だが、そんな時、皇太后が密かに外国から毒薬を手に入れたことを知る。カイルが子供の問題で手間取っている間に皇太后は皇帝を暗殺し、罪をすべてカイルに着せようとしているのだ。なんとかして計画を阻止しようと、夕梨は単身、王宮へ急ぐのだが…！？

Book 10 of Red River (or Anatolia Story, which is how I knew it before it was licensed) brings us more treachery from Nakia, Ramses being helpful, Ursula and Kash hooking up, a murdered King, confused Prince and oh yeah the possibility of civil war...
Welcome back to the Land of the Hittites where scheming against your own interests is a way of life. Nakia proves to be even more evil then previously believed by using her poor son Prince Juda--who still remains the sweetest kid ever--to tell lies about Yuri. Because that'll end well.
Meanwhile Yuri helps Ursula and Kash get together by completely fabricating circumstances they should have seen through. Have I mentioned my love of Yuri's horse Aslan? No? This horse is like the best creature ever. I want one (well if I can also have Yuri's impossibly long legs--and they call her short! with legs that go for miles!).
And I can honestly say Yuri was not assaulted in this book. Not once. Kail kisses her (rather chastely) and Ramses attempts to (but Ursula stops him), but she's pretty unravished. Just as well with murders and civil wars and scheme hatching who has time to make out?

What first drew me to this series was the romantic historical aspect. I loved how a modern day girl gets pulled back into the past. I don't know what it is about those stories that attract me so much, maybe it is the difficulty for the girl of fitting in and having to rely on the guy so much to be able to get along in the world.
I would really recommend this series to fans of Inuyasha, it has a lot of the same concepts.

Eh... Just eh. At this point it feels like the plot is just constantly repeating itself.

Kash e Ursula! Kash e Ursula!! Kash e Ursula!!! Kash e Ursula!!!!
Certo che la regina gode di troppi privilegi. Per quanto trami alle spalle di tutto e tutti alla fine non si riesce mai a dimostrare che dietro tutti c'è lei. Anche vero che, se venisse dimostrato, il cattivo per eccellenza dell'intero manga sparirebbe...
Possibile che nessuno riesca a vedere che il povero Giuda è sotto un incantesimo, visto che viene disegnato tutto stoccafisso e con gli occhi fissi?! Il consiglio degli anziani non sembra molto sveglio. ^__^
Comunque.

It's cute how Ursula and Kash are trying to hide their feelings from each other and from other people. I wish they got together but Urusla is going to die later in the series. :(
And another brother bits the dust. Poor King Arnuwanda was weak, but he was kind to Kail and didn't deserve to die. It's just like evil Nakia to pin the blame on Yurki though so that she can get Yuri's blood for the curse to kill the rest of the brothers. -.-
Thank god that Kail is as smart as Nakia and sent Yuri away. If only she ever listened to him and wasn't so kind she might not have to be rescued all the time. :/

I found this series on a mere coincidence but it quickly became one of my all time favourites. I read the entire series in 1.5-2 days. It was truly wonderful and a joy to experience.

Evil bitch Queen Nakia, framing Yuri for murder of the new King. She truly shows how evil she is when she even drugs her own son & makes him her puppet.
Thankfully Crown Prince Kail is about to expose her evil deeds when she frees Princess Guzel from her control in front of everyone, The Senate, & Princess Guzel reveals who drugged her: Queen Nakia. Though trying to prove Prince Juda has also been drugged as well proves difficult when Nakia refuses anyone near him & threatens war with the Babylonian if anyone touches her son & defies her.
The Senate must have seen what an evil Queen Dowager they have & they do nothing to get rid of her or expose her evil deeds, in order to get rid of her.

The queen schemes once again . . . and this is probably her most well laid out plot yet. We also get some backstory on just why she is so determined to make her unwilling son king. And just for a little fan service before things get too serious, we get a little romance with a couple of the side characters.

Bueno el personaje secundario del tomo anterior me esta gustando bastante, nos dio una escena de shippeo intenso y me gusta, además tiene su propio interés amoroso que eso suma muchos puntos. En cuanto a la política todo se complico para el príncipe Kail y el reino esta en un caos, por lo que mas problemas se avecinan y la reina Nakia tomara ventaja de eso.

Kail:Yuri please behave and do not leave without permission
Yuri:you want me to leave?
The queen:time to frame a murder lol

Anatolia Story vol. 1 - 28
Overall Rating: 2..../10
I re-read from teenager to grown up. Not the best idea...
This may be my third re-read of this series. I am pretty sure I read it twice in the first two years of it's release. I was young, I loved it. It was romantic. But after reading it this year (maybe +15 years later....), I was wrong. I just saw wrong turns, within wrong turns. Maybe as an adult, you see things differently.
If you,ve read a manga or book during your early years and end up reading them much later in life, you may end up like me- loving a series in the past and ruining it as the adult in you laughs for once enjoying them... :(
Do I recommend this:
Unless you are under the age of 20 honestly...
