The original manga was serialized in Shojo Comics (Shogakukan) from 1995 to 2002. Including digital editions, the series has surpassed 20 million copies in circulation. It won the 46th Shogakukan Manga Award in the girls’ category and was later adapted into a stage musical by the Takarazuka Revue in 2018.
VIZ Media publishes the original manga in English and describes the story as follows:
Yuri, a teen of the 21st century, has been transported to ancient Anatolia as part of a scheme by the evil Nakia, Queen of the Hittites. Only the intervention of Nakia’s stepson, Prince Kail, saved Yuri from the Queen’s bloodthirsty intentions. As an unintended consequence, the people of the kingdoms of Anatolia have embraced Yuri as the incarnation of the great war-goddess Ishtar.
