You know Anatolia story or Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori,It is a historical fantasy manga story by Chie Shinohara about a girl named Yuri Suzuki who is transported to the Hittite empire in Ancient Turkey,There she fell in love with Prince Kail .This manga is known for its romantic themes and historical reference to Hittite Empire that people wish that it should be made into a anime.
But If i make into anime ,I am going to give some minor changes but keep the major themes so that it won't be too disrespectful to the original storyline such as having Yuri be a graduating high school student instead and is unlucky in love where her boyfriend breaks up with her unlike the one in the manga ,She will be kidnapped by Tawananna while taking bath at her home instead so she will appear naked in the Hattusa bath house and quickly steal one of the bathers clothes to cover her body rather than the one from the manga.
And to make the story connected to the modern era which once appeared in the first chapter but never mentioned until the last one in the end,We will have the fictionalized version of the author Chie Shinohara to be Yuri's Elder sister instead of the one with braided hair and glasses.Here's how it goes:
Chie will sympathize with her sister Yuri since her boyfriend breaks up but reminded her that now that she is graduated to college maybe she will find another one which gives Yuri hope.
Then when Yuri is about to be kidnapped to the Hittite empire period in her bath,Chie rushes from her room after she heard her scream and tries to rescue her sister but she too is dragged into the whirlpool and is travelling with her to the past but she looses her grip and is suddenly move forward two years later in the Hittite empire there she appears in Kail's castle pond all wet but is surprised to see her sister wearing ancient anotalia clothes now called Tawananna and with Kail next to her.
Chie is glad to see her sister back but ask what is going on and how she wears ancient anotalia clothes and earned the title Tawananna,Yuri begins to tells the whole story which is the whole manga plot.
And after telling the story Chie is amazed and though Yuri is glad that Chie appeared they felt worried that they can't return home but Nepheruto or someone else has found a way to return Chie and Yuri back to the era,Yuri feels complicated however because she fell in love with Kail and want to give peace to the Hittite Empire especially that Kail proposes her to marry him and be his queen the one from the final chapter.
Realizing that Yuri is attracting to Kali since she doesn't gain luck back in their modern time and making sure not to ruin history,Chie allows her sister to stay and marry Kail which makes Yuri excitedly hug and thank her for giving the right choice.
At the wedding ceremony Chie wearing ancient anotalia formal clothes admires her sister Yuri when she married Kali now known as Mursili II and she becomes Queen Tawananna, This moves Chie with tears of joy.
And after the wedding is ended both Chie and Yuri tearfully say goodbye to each other as Chie once again wears her modern clothes but still keeps some of the ancient anotalia jewelry and memorabilia as proof that she entered the timeline, Chie then travels back to her timeline at the exact moment when She and Yuri traveled to the Hittite empire period in their bathroom, The family who heard the screams earlier are surprised that Chie appears but wonders where is Yuri and why is she wearing some of the anotalia Jewelry.
Chie tells Yuri's story to the family and after telling the whole story,The family are confused but accepts the truth as they understand that Yuri found someone she is attracted to which was in the long past.
One year later,Chie can't get the memories of Hittite empire period and Yuri out of her head.So she decided to make this along with reference to historical reference to Hittite Empire into the manga Anatolia story so that the memories of her sister will live on in this modern era.Her editor is amazed by the story but wonder how did she get the idea which Chie replied "My sister gave me this inspiration".
The final scene of the anime will have Chie travel to modern Turkey and lay flowers on the ruins of the Hittite Empire to pay her respects to her sister once every year.Because this will considered a bookend ,You see the anime will begin with Chie introduce to us viewers as she answers their question why she travels to the country of Turkey and place flowers on the Hittite Empire ruins as she narrates the story and the final scene of the anime will have Chie travel to Turkey again to pay her respects to her sister like every year but takes her little daughter with her who she named Yuri after her now "departed" sister in her honor.And as they leave the area Chie saw the spirits of her sister Yuri and her husband Kail behind her smiling which Chie smiles back at them representing that her sisters spirit will always be with her as the anime ends.
