Chapters 20-29
علی برای برزرک ریویوی خفن نوشت، من وسط خوندن نوشته هاش راجع به اون، برا خوندن اینی که قبل‌تر معرفی کرده بود دوباره هایپ شدم.
نمیدونم قبلا هم اشاره کرده بودم یا نه ولی مردم کوه رو دوست دارم. حالا یکم خوش خوشانه پیش رفتن و برنامه هاشون جلو رفت ولی فعلا که راضیم.
ببینیم حالا که دستش رسید به دیواره چی قراره بشه.
(غر هم بزنم: قاعدتا جماعتی که تو کوه زندگی میکنند و باید از صخره بالا پایین برن، باید خیلی راحت تر و سریعتر می‌تونستن از دیوار بالا برند.)

No wonder this is one of the most popular manga in Japan. I remember watching a Hong Kong drama with the same plot and that is what cemented my basics in China's history. This is really good and it actually made me want to collect the whole series, which is almost 40 volumes.

"El Sei, King of Qin. A young King with no power or authority. Your Throne stolen by your brother..with few local vassals to aid you.Being forced to run and hide like a mouse"

The odds are against Sei and his faction of followers. Can he somehow convince Yotanwa- leader of the mountain forces to join him and go back to the Royal City?

"You know Shin, someday were gonna have to ride horses"
"mmmm yeah, I've always wondered what they would taste like". Shin misunderstands

The story is still quite shaky and requires quite a lot of forgiveness at times. However some of the artwork is well drawn

Je remercie les Éditions Meian pour l’envoi de cette lecture. Vous le savez, j’avais eu un gros coup de cœur pour les deux premiers tomes de cette saga. Autant vous dire, j’aime vraiment de plus en plus ce manga qui est vraiment très très prenant !

Le Roi Qin est en train de se rendre dans les montagnes pour parler au Roi de cet endroit. Il souhaite créer une alliance, car il veut récupérer le trône dont il a été chassé par son propre frère. Mais cela n’est pas gagné d’avance, car le peuple des montagnes à un lourd passif avec celui des plaines.

L’histoire est toujours aussi prenante. Ce que je trouve génial avec ce manga, c’est qu’on a différents points de vue, on alterne régulièrement entre chacun d’eux, ce qui rend le récit d’autant plus vivant.

De plus, les scènes d’action sont magnifiques, l’intrigue est passionnante et l’histoire est riche. Pour ma part, c’est un manga qui est parfait en tout point. En même temps, pas étonnant que ce soit une saga avec 58 tomes et qui est encore en cours !

En bref, vous l’aurez compris, j’ai adoré ces tomes. De plus, ces derniers terminent un arc et en commencent un autre. De quoi me donner la hype et surtout me donner envie d’avoir la suite ! Je suis vraiment impatiente de voir ce que la suite des aventures de Shi donnera ! 😉

Things are getting intense!

Things weren’t looking good with the mountain people, but somehow Xin was able to pull everyone out of it and get the mountain people on their side!

We get a small taste of action towards the end of this volume and it was really exciting. I’m extremely excited to start volume 4 to get the rest of this battle!

4.5/5

Quelques longueurs, la véritable action commence dans les 15 dernières pages ! Sinon, j’aime toujours autant les personnages et le plot (politique, guerre, trahison...)

A pesar de que sabemos que va a ser un manga extenso, la historia avanza sin rodeos, sin tramas secundarias innecesarias.
Una de las series más entretenidas del momento.

Reading this series because of a good buddy of mine, kept hyping up this one baddie. Said baddie was blonde. Your opps are closer than you think 😞
Signed, the ultimate blonde hater.

Notre souverain légitime se fait de nouveaux alliés et entame sa reconquête du trône aux côtés de Yotanwa la reine des montagnes, une alliance qui promet de belles batailles à l'avenir. Certains se plaignent de quelques "incohérences" mais personnellement ça ne me dérange pas, je ne trouve même pas ça incohérent .

Rather a flagrant defiance of the Unspoken Plan Guarantee rule here - them carefully plotting things out on-screen made me expect things going badly from the start, but so far so good. Might have been better to nix those few pages or move them later down the line to maintain more of the tension.

Other than that, it's been good enough. Some more great moments from Xin... though they could have shown us how he practiced his ropes, so that untying himself wouldn't have come across as a bit of a Deus Ex Machina. And the main antagonist is a real proper foil to the main characters - a spoiled brat that knows nothing of anything and has never seen a day of real struggle.

(4) Toujours un régal pour les yeux si ce n'est plus ! J'ai vraiment adoré comment avait été dessiné le peuple des montagnes. On rentre dans le vif du sujet avec ce tome-ci grâce aux différents points de vue qui permettent de saisir tous les enjeux du conflit en cours. Pas vraiment de grosse action pour le moment mais ça ne saurait clairement tarder éhé.

Ooh, this is not a series that takes its time because things are kicking into high gear. The hopes of forming an alliance with the Mountain people leads into one heck of a battle beginning, and it is an engrossing read as the dangers of war are shown in all their terror. Wherever things go next, it's going to be a hell of a time.

Disfruté que El Rey del Pueblo de la Montaña fuera mujer y que unieran fuerzas con Xin y Co. Xin es super exagerado y es divertido como se burlan de todas la situaciones hipotéticas para las que entrenó con Piao de pequeño. Ya quiero ir mas adelante y ver más dibujos de estrategias de guerra.

L'histoire prend un chemin different suite a une coalition et des envies du roi datant de plusieurs siecles, l'histoire est agreable a lire sans aucun moment de lassement. Merci pour cette lecture et je me met au tome 4 dés maintenant !

Idk whether this is a shonen or not, but seems like it. This isn’t a problem tho, some moments of the story are a little unnatural.

Si bien los dos tomos anteriores estuvieron muy buenos, creo que aquí es donde empecé a atisbar la grandeza de lo que es Kingdom.

The prelude to the final battle of the first arc. I liked the historical chatter, badass quotes, and overall world-building.
Looking forward to vol 4!
