* MrFanservice: Kail and Ramses, mostly, but arguably most of the male cast.

Red River 天は赤い河のほとり, Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori, also known as Anatolia Story, is a historical fantasy shōjo manga series by Chie Shinohara. Sadly, it is only a manga. If anyone wants to turn it into an anime, please hurry up.

* BarrierMaiden: Yuir is viewed as this by Nakia, considering that her blood is the key to the curse she wants to cast.

Red River is about a fifteen-year old Japanese girl named [[DistressedDamsel Yuri Suzuki]], who is [[TimeTravel magically transported]] to Hattusa, the capital of the Hittite Empire in Anatolia. She was summoned by [[BigBad Queen Nakia]] who means to use Yuri as a [[HumanSacrifice human]] sacrifice. [[BarrierMaiden Yuri]]'s [[BloodMagic blood]] is the key element needed in placing a curse upon the princes of the land so that they will perish, leaving Nakia's son as the sole heir to the throne. As the story progress, however, Yuri not only repeatedly manages to escape Nakia's scheming, she also becomes revered as an incarnation of the goddess Ishtar and falls in love with prince Kail.

* TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[spoiler: Not that Yuuri doesn't try to escape back to Japan, but between Nakia's machinations and Yuuri's own feelings for Kail (and arguably Anatolia itself), this just never ends up happening. After she marries Kail, definitely crosses the boundary into IChooseToStay.]]

** This often feels like a case of HollywoodHomely to a lot of readers, as Yuuri is always drawn as being rather cute from the start.

* {{Determinator}}: Yuri occasionally is this, most notably when [[spoiler:she survives being shot with an arrow and stalks Ramses until he agrees to patch her up and take her back to Hattusa, going so far as to threaten to haunt him if he continues to refuse.]]

* EstrogenBrigadeBait: Kail and Ramses, mostly, but arguably most of the male cast.

* {{Polyamory}}: Since Kikkuri couldn't tell the difference between Ryui and Schala, ending up getting one pregnant while he thought it was the other one, he ended up [[TwinThreesomeFantasy marrying them both]].

** Later, Ryui and Schala [[spoiler: both give birth to two sets of identical twins. By the same guy, who couldn't tell them apart either.]]

* [[AlwaysIdenticalTwins Identical Twins]]: Ryui and Schala can't be told apart by anyone, except by Hadi and Yuri.

Also, this summary is straight off of Wikipedia, so someone please change it soon and add creativity. The only reason I bothered to add anything is because it's high time this fandom was brought to life.

*** It could also be DeliberateValuesDissonance. When Yuri is in present-day Japan, everyone generally acts like she's quite attractive. In Hattusa, Yuri is much shorter than everyone else, and Kail mentions that girls her age ought to be more voluptuous and have [[BuxomIsBetter larger breasts]], hence his trying to feed her things that would help her gain weight (hence also Kail's assumption that Yuri is thirteen, when she's really nearly fifteen).

* BonnieAndClyde: Urhi and Nakia.
