I'll start with pic related:

Best depiction of life in great game central asia ever. Minutiously researched and incredibly detailed and well written, i recommend.

Historie manga is pretty good. I've not read Ad Astra is it any good?
Also Age of Bronze is a nice comic.
It Aint Me with animals.
Meticulously detailed and researched series about Vietnam, complete with bonus sections on unit tactics and weaponry.
>>1194351
Haven't read either of them, but recently finished Heureka, and it's really good

Now i'm interested about age of bronze, what is it about(besides, of course, the bronze age)?
[spoiler]Also why cover up that minoan girl's boobies?[/spoiler]
>>1194359
Is this like Maus where animals represent certain nations?
>mfw polish pigs
>>1194359
>I Aint Me
People using the wrong names for songs pisses me off.
>>1194374
Yea Heureka's good. The scenes with the war machines being used was awesome.
She's Mycenean, which I believe was when they covered up. But I remember seeing some Minoans titties in historical flashbacks. It's set during the Trojan War and it's a historical take on it. The only time supernatural stuff happens is through dreams.
Also how could i forget pic related.
GOD. TIER.
>>1194382
Yeah basically.
Cats are vietnamese, rabbits are americans, monkeys are japanese, russians are bears, chinese are pandas.
>>1194307
Im pretty sure central asia isnt that peaceful
>>1194525
Otoyemagatari isn't exactly showing it as peaceful either.
There's the various inter tribal rivalries, and the Russians were talked about in the manga.
>>1194486
Buddhist farming manga, my favourite
>>1194487
It's 19th Century Central Asia. It wasn't as bad as prior centuries anymore what with the Qing Dynasty and the Tsarist Russians BTFO major Steppe Nomad Powers between the 1600s and 1800s.
There's a reason why the Dzungars were considered the last of the great Steppe Nomad powers. Their genocide by Qing China was the end of a whole way of life.

She is, she also has some pretty neat and well researched victorian era mangas if you're interested.
>>1194359
>French are pigs
>Japanese are monkeys
Damn, this is pretty brutal compared to Maus.
>>1194487
>rabbits are Americans
Someone is ripping off of someone.
>>1196032
You idiot, same author.
Except author has lived long enough to watch America fuck up again so he thought it timely to set one during the War on Terror.
>>1194307
It is amazing indeed.
>>1194525
Otoyomegatari doesn't show it as peaceful at all. It's just not about wars or warriors but more or less ordinary people, a lot of them women (and Mr. Smith). The attack on the town was not explicitly very bloody, that's right.
>>1194307
What Central Asian country does it take place in?
>>1196071
I think Uzebkistan and Kazakhstan. But the story moves around, I think one story was in Persia and one of the characters is traveling to Ankara.
>>1196071
I think it's leaved out on purpose. Anyways modern central asian countries didn't exist back then, but I suppose it would be modern Kazakhstan since they're always talking about the Russians being kind of near.
>>1196082
I think the town would be in Kazakhstan and then it's only Mr. Smith who visits Uzbekistan and Persia.
Legend of Galactic Heroes is a good /his/ show.
It isn't based in real history, but it's characters are all amalgamations of important historical figures and most of the show is spent in dialectics about governmental ethics.
>>1196082
It would have to be more to the north because there is friction between a british adventurer and some russian occupants.
I'm not very well versed in the great game is though so I don't know the russian sphere of influence ends and the british one begins.
>>1196128
Afghanistan and Iran are buffer states and basically everything else is russian or british.
But in Otoyomegatari this expansion has mostly not happened yet. The brit is in theory just a scholar, he has nothing to do with brittish intelligence. And if he was, it's obvious that russians and brits sent spies to the other's controled territory.
