天は赤い河のほとり
A college girl's life takes a mysterious turn when she discovers her presence causes water to become agitated, and she's confronted by supernatural forces.
Yuri, a pretty Japanese girl, is ecstatic after passing her college entrance exam and having her first kiss with her childhood friend-turned boyfriend. However, her luck soon changes. She starts to notice that water becomes agitated whenever she goes near it. One night, hands appear out of a puddle on the street and drag her into the water! Transported to an ancient village in the Middle East, she is then captured by armed troops and taken to the Queen's palace for a human sacrifice. (Source: VIZ Media)
