Synopsis

Meet Yuri Suzuki: just your average 15-year-old Japanese girl, riding the high of passing her exams and getting her first kiss, and then mysterious hands reach out of a puddle and drag her 3,000 years into the past. She wakes up in the ancient Hittite Empire, surrounded by soldiers, and promptly gets hauled off to a queen's palace to be used as a human sacrifice. Not exactly the follow-up to a first kiss anyone plans for. This is a shoujo time-travel story set in 14th century BC Anatolia, which is already a wildly different backdrop from the usual feudal Japan or fantasy kingdom fare. The Hittite Empire, Queen Nakia's political scheming, King Suppiluliuma: it's rooted in actual history, and the manga it's based on leans hard into the court intrigue and power struggles of that era. Yuri isn't just surviving monsters or magic; she's navigating a world where politics can get you killed faster than any battlefield. She's resourceful and sharp, which she needs to be, because nobody's handing her an easy path. The vibe is emotional and romantic but with real stakes: think the isekai danger of Fushigi Yuugi mixed with the historical weight of The Twelve Kingdoms. If you liked Inuyasha's time-travel romance but want something grittier and more politically layered, this one's worth your time. Tatsunoko Production is handling the adaptation, and the source material is beloved for good reason.

tito dying like that killed me inside. when yuri said his lips were cold I literally started crying. this is the exact moment she turns into a real leader and stops just being a passive victim in this world

chloeanime★★★★☆EP 75h

Yuri stepping up in front of the council and completely spinning that abduction story to save the princes was incredible. Seeing her outsmart Nakia like that shows how much she is adapting to this world.

El príncipe Zannanza y Yuri se llevan muy bien, pero cuando la Reina Nakia lo descubre se convierte en un gran problema. También conocemos a uno de los adversarios de los hititas. Y Yuri con vestido de gala fue el mejor "tapaboca" para quienes hablaban mal de ella, muajaja.

Zanza throwing up dark blood right after Yuri bit his shoulder to snap him out of that dark water spell was intense and those two fighting side by side after was awesome

betobeto_san★★★☆☆EP 67d

I could not look away when Yuri stepped into the banquet hall wearing that ornate Ishtar dress and completely silenced the court

obariyon_oracle★★★☆☆EP 67d

I was not expecting that dress reveal to hit so hard and even the King was stunned when Yuri stepped out in those Ishtar robes

reirei★★★★☆VerifiedEP 67d

My opinion changed because of the ending of this episode. This was a good setup for the main conflict. That really made things more interesting. I thought I would be finishing this episode with, "What the heck is up with this nonsense love triangle?!" lol. Just glad I didn't.

katana★★★★☆VerifiedEP 67d

The whole plot felt unnecessary at first until that ending, lol. At least they actually made progress on that part(?) Overall, this episode was still good. I was about to cringe, but hey, I guess it didn't go the route I was expecting?

sandaime★★★★☆VerifiedEP 67d

It felt like nothing really happened in this episode until that very end. The whole plot with Prince Zannanza felt irrelevant. Like, seriously. But it still had good pacing, and surprisingly, I liked Yuri and Zannanza's dynamics in the ending part. Only that part, though.

Alguien ayuda a Yuri, pero también la somete a una prueba importante. La trama y la relación con el príncipe Kail avanzan. Y la Reina sigue molestando. ¿Qué se le ocurrirá ahora?

melypaz★★★★★VerifiedEP 410d

El príncipe Kail y Yuri se dirigen a Alinna para apoyar ante una invasión y Yuri termina siendo la MVP, pero los peligros siguen tras ella. Pobre Yuri, ¡espero que aprenda pronto a defenderse!

Prince Zanza walking right past everyone and mistaking Yuri for a little servant boy was hilarious, definitely needed that bit of humor before the whole Mitanni war situation gets heavy

elle_hq★★★★☆EP 514d

I started yelling when that heavy bronze sword snapped in half after hitting her plain iron dagger Zuwa had it coming after what he did to Tito

solgaleo★★★★☆EP 514d

Watching a simple iron dagger destroy a whole bronze sword really shows how insane the tech difference is in this era and now the Hatti tribe is loyal to Yuri
