Anatolia Story (aka Red River) is one of my top favorite manga. One thing that attracted me almost since the beginning is Yuri, the story main character. When the story starts someone may think that she would be another Miaka (Fushigi Yuugi) but she's made of a far better material. She really acts like Ishtar, goddess of War and Love, and one must think that the vilain should have choosen another holocaust.
Yuri sometimes wears a ponny tail, my draw is inspired in a picture from volume #5. This character is Chie Shinohara's property.
