Chapters 9-19
این mountain people جماعت جذابی بودند و از خود جماعت جذاب تر ، شهرشون بود!

[Yuki Ura · Rating 5 out of 5]

This manga is angular and bold because this manga is kind of Seinen. And also this manga is realistic because this story is based on ancient china. It has good character design because the author used plain design and complex design properly. Main character’s faces are plain but gorgeous complex costumes of ancient China are abundantly used, and it make us to distinguish characters. And this manga used screen-tone. These things give us impact and make us memorable. In Vol2, the fighting is begun, so there are more onomatopoeia than Vol1. The scene I was most impressed is That the main character “Shin” flashback memories with his best friend Hyou.

Je remercie les Éditions Meian pour l’envoi de cette lecture. Un tome qui, comme le premier, me plaît vraiment beaucoup. C’est vraiment la superbe découverte du mois à mes yeux ce manga !

Shin se retrouve à devoir aider le roi. Il n’est pas forcément emballé, le tenant pour responsable de son ami Hyô. Pour autant, il comprend rapidement qu’aider ce roi pourrait lui apporter beaucoup de choses et notamment, lui permettre de réaliser le rêve que Hyô n’a jamais pu achever.

Comme je le disais dans ma chronique concernant le tome un, l’histoire est vraiment bien menée. On se retrouve avec beaucoup de personnages, un récit bien rythmé et une trame principale prenante à souhait.

Les scènes de combat sont toujours aussi belles à voir et c’est un vrai plaisir pour mes petits yeux à chacune d’elles.

En bref, c’est un deuxième tome qui suit le même chemin que le premier. Une histoire intéressante et qui ne cesse de nous éblouir. Pour le moment, on en est surtout à l’introduction de l’univers, mais je suis très intriguée de voir ce que la suite nous réserve !

El rey y sus compañeros buscan nuevas alianzas para hacer frente a los enemigos que buscan sustituirle en el trono. Así conoceremos a la gente de la montaña, feroces guerreros que podrían ser grandes aliados, si el rey logra salir con vida de la visita.

Buena historia y personajes interesantes. Sigue manteniendo el interés del primer tomo.

[Kikuhiko · Rating 5 out of 5]

Un second tome très bon avec une harmonie agréable entre l'action de la guerre, les révélations qui répondent à nos questions tout en en amenant d'autres et l'humour. Shin est une source à âneries hilarantes même dans les moments les plus inattendus et sérieux (comme lors de la rencontre avec les soldats des habitants des montagnes) j'aime beaucoup ça.

The mountain folk look interesting

[Erika · Rating 3 out of 5]

Since my childhood friend recommended this, I really wanted to, at least, like the story, but I’m just simply not feeling it.
The artwork is too boring, the protagonist too childish and foolish to root for, the battle scenes too boring for me to care who wins and how.
Everything feels like an old fashioned “Shonen-Managa” and not in a good way.

I was expecting to read a fun yet fantastical story of the creation of the first Chinese empire to unite the country, i.e. the Qin dynasty, but it’s just a boring battle manga with a ancient Chinese backgrounds to give the story a gravitas.
Also, one of the villain’s speech pattern (a so-called “Onee Kotoba” or the gay lingo) used in a degrading way bothered be so much.
(This “character not conforming to the gender norm=bad/used as a joke” has been going on for quite a long time...)

I’ve borrowed books 1-5 from this series from the local library, but I couldn’t get past book 3, and DNFed the 4th one.
Just like the “Kimetsu-no-yaiba (aka Demon slayers)” series, even though it’s popular among Japanese people, sadly, it wasn’t for me.

Xin's quest to become the greatest General under Heaven continues in this volume. He protects Ying Zheng from Mu Ta, a Southern warrior armed with poison darts. Then, when Lord Changwen finally arrived with his soldiers, he was part of the group that went up into the mountains to meet with the Mountain King where Ying Zheng hoped to obtain aid to put down the rebellion of his younger brother. But will this effort be successful or fail?

I am still getting used to the character artwork, but the backgrounds are great! Thanks Netgalley and Viz Media for a chance to read this title!

(3.75) Je trouve les tomes un poil trop longuets, d'où le fait que je ne parvienne pas à rester conquise jusqu'au bout - même si au final il n'y a pas vraiment de longueurs. En tout cas, je reste emballée par la suite et j'ai toujours les yeux aussi éblouis face aux dessins !

4.5⭐️
Un segundo tomo donde todo es incierto pero Xin decide avanzar y unirse a Zheng pero le queda mucho por delante a estos dos. se va viendo que hay un poco de confianza, determinación por parte de ambos y el apoyo que se muestran por muy mínimo que sea.

[Vincent · Rating 4 out of 5]

Story is really taking shape with more supporting characters and a more clear goal now. I’m curious with how long the series is if the feud between Zheng and his brother will continue to be the main driving force of the entire series

[Joshua Weston · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting premise. I feel like the story will progress even further along the line. Mu ta was a great character as well as the mountain people. Can’t wait to meet the mountain king.

I’ll give it one more volume before committing too the eventual 96 volumes

Kerajaan suku gunung keren parah, dan intrik peperangan lebih kompleks dari yang saya kira.

The introduction of the mountain people was great! I suspect the king is a girl. I am excited for the king, Lord and MCs relationship development.

[elkorchiii · Rating 4 out of 5]

the chemistry between Shin and Tin is crazy , and king has really great character to overall very great volume

[Kash · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think this series has the best first arc of any anime/manga i’ve watched/read

[Yuri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Shin is too overpower for a beginning of story and considering he was weaker or at least less dexterous than Hyou.

[GigiLovesBooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm so intrigued!

[Cassie Fleurs · Rating 4 out of 5]

hype fights and politics

You know it

[Kumasama · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good but I Hope to see more complexity in characters in next volumes.

[Matias Maldonado · Rating 4 out of 5]

Al ritmo que va, no me sorprendería que se termine convirtiendo en uno de mis mangas favoritos. Todavía es muy pronto para decirlo, pero va bien encaminado.

[T.R. Preston · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sei is the best character. Any other opinion is incorrect.

[Jota · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like the amount of historical knowledge portrayed in the series. The plot is advancing to the final confrontation with Seikyo. And that the double-panel of the Mountain Tribe's capital is terrific!

[Kanak · Rating 5 out of 5]

very good character writing.....must read

[mykittyquest17 · Rating 5 out of 5]
