Dumping a few chapters of Sangokushi whenever I have time now that it's completely translated.
Recap of story so far: After running away from corrupt generals, the Han emperor finds himself in the safe care of Cao Cao, who then proceeds to use him to boost his own influence.
For those who don't know what this is, it's a faithful adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Yokoyama Mitsuteru, the mangaka of Tetsujin 28, Giant Robo, Mars, etc. The art isn't amazing but if you've ever wanted to get into Three Kingdoms but didn't feel like slogging through book, reading this is the easiest way. The 2010 Chinese TV series was alright too, but that skips out on some fun arcs.

threadly reminder that liu bei is a pussy coward and RotTK is historical revisionism

Any significance to the writing on Guan Yu's and Zhang Fei's robes?
>>138767625
RotTK is a fictional work. Do you get mad reading the Illiad too, for not being an accurate depiction of the bronze age Mediterranean?
>>138767633
Their names.
>>138767633
Oh, it just has the character of their surnames, Guan and Zhang. Looks kind of tacky once you know what it means, honestly. I don't think people ever went around with their names sewn onto their clothes. Family crests and emblems are of course another matter.

>for not being an accurate depiction of the bronze age Mediterranean?
I mean, we all know that it was vikings, right?
I read that one Clive Cussler book.
>>138767787
Don't you mean England, not scandinavia?
>>138767696

>>138768343
Yeah, I just noticed that too. ugh.

These animal analogies are getting out of hand.
>>138768393
If there's one thing the Chinese language loves, it's animal analogies.

So who is this advisor?
Someone named like Guo Jia or Cheng Yu?
>>138768463
>>138768493
well played.
>>138768478
It's Xun Yu, one of Cao Cao's most talented advisers.
And I'll stop the dump at there for today.
Thanks as always, Hox.

Why was Kongming such a best everything?
Best character of the whole manga.
>>138769225
Because he was the author's favourite.
