If you are ever in the mood for old-school bring-you-to-tears-and-make-you-feel-all-fuzzy-inside shoujo, this is what
you should read. Of course Red River has it's heart-wrenching moments-- don't make the mistake of thinking
that this is all bunnies and rainbows. But it's those sad moments that make the happy scenes so beautiful and
captivating, and together they create a breathtaking story.
Even those who are not a fan of old-style shoujo art should be pleased by the beautiful illustrations. And despite being
28 volumes long, at no point is the story dull.
Overview: Shoujo at its finest; you will not find a more heart-warming story.
