20 Years Later, Acclaimed Classic Confirms Surprise Anime Revival

The 1990s were a fantastic time for Japanese comics, especially for both action-packed Shonen and romance-focused Shojo series, many of which are still beloved today. However, despite positive reviews and dedicated fans, a lot of these great Shojo comics never got turned into animated series. One example is Red River by Chie Shinohara, which ran in Sho-Comi magazine from 1995 to 2002. This popular fantasy story was highly praised and even won a Shogakukan Manga Award in 2000. Now, over thirty years after it first appeared, an anime adaptation of Red River is finally in the works.
