''Rure'' is a {{Manhwa}} by Seo Moon Da Mi. The first volume was first published in 2003 in UsefulNotes/SouthKorea and later on in the US in 2007 by Creator/{{Tokyopop}}. The series is still currently ongoing.

Shin Ha-Ru is an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent attending a boarding school in UsefulNotes/{{Seoul}} who possessed latent psychic abilities ever since she was a child. One day her half sister Mi-Ru arrives in Seoul to bring her back home to attend a traditional festival. When they return home it is revealed that Ha-Ru in in fact the [[{{Ojou}} heir to the entire Island and the local fishing business]] and that Mi-Ru is the [[TheUnfavorite illegitimate daughter of their father and not all that like by most of her family or even the townspeople]]. On the night of the festival, their father official names Ha-Ru his heir and disinherits Mi-Ru. Mi-Ru, feeling that no one really cares about her, runs off [[DrivenToSuicide seeking to take her life]]. Ha-Ru, probably the only person in the world who ''does'' care about Mi-Ru, runs after her. As they leap over the cliff and into the water the find themselves [[TrappedInAnotherWorld somewhere else.]]

The Somewhere else in question seems to be a very [[ArabianNightsDays straightforward Middle Eastern Fantasy world]] albeit one with [[AlienSky three moons in the sky]] They eventually find a mercenary by the name of Kyu Ya and through a slight [[PoorCommunicationKills misunderstanding]], Ha-Ru unintentionally sells Mi-Ru into slavery for some water. Desperate to get her back, she tries to bargain with Kyu Ya and eventually winds up in a duel. In the aftermath, Ha-Ru finds herself as Kyu Ya's "slave" as well. But Kyu Ya turns out to be a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold kind master]] and the rest of the series details their adventures together.

''Note: This is being written by someone who has only read the first three volumes is someone has more to add, feel free''

Only the first six volumes appear to have been published in English; only the first ten in French.

!!Rure Contains Examples of:

* AlienSky: The world where this takes place has three moons
* AntiHero: Mahire takes great risks to protect his half-brother Yanok and Ha-Ru, and takes part in the fight against a powerful evil witch. He nonetheless is an agent for a slave merchant: we see him killing a slave just to make a point and having the rest branded.
Also Mushuk, who risks his life to save Mi-Ru, leads the fight against the monsters attacking his village, and follows Ha-Ru in gratitude for what she did for his people, has no qualms about slaughtering whole merchant caravans and raping female prisoners.
%%* ArabianNightsDays: The World that Ha-Ru and Mi-Ru find themselves in.
* CrapsackWorld: Since slavery is so common, this is a given.
%%* DecadentCourt: [[spoiler:part of the reason why Kyu Ya left home]]
* FireForgedFriends: Although Mushuk has always despised Ruke for his low rank in Kantara society, they become staunch friends after saving Mi-Ru from a horde of monsters.
* MoralSociopathy: Moo Na the witch slaughters the Kantara women and children without batting an eye. Still, even with an arm cut off she will not flee the battle out of loyalty to her master.
* OddlyShapedSword: the swords of Mahire and Ruke merge into their arms.
* SamusIsAGirl: subverted for comedic purposes: Kyu Ya is the only one not to realize Ha-Ru is a girl.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Ha-Ru vs. Mi-Ru in a rather dark variant.
%%* {{Ojou}}: Ha-Ru
%%* TrappedInAnotherWorld
%%* TheUnfavorite: Mi-Ru
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: the full-blooded people of the Blue Moon reincarnate with full memories and therefore do not fear death. As a consequence, many eventually become dispirited and commit suicide ( which seems to be the one way they can definitely die ).
