Ten moves on to become a strategist while Shin goes to train under the last surviving Great Six General Ouki.

[Juho Pohjalainen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bit more shounen spilling in here: as far as I can tell the concept of "Six Great Generals" is completely fictitious, and sounds to me like your typical group of super-strong dudes for the main character to match and then surpass, like the Four Emperors or what have you. Some familiar names here, though: Bai Qi looks like just the appropriate sort of a bug-eyed berserker madman, perfectly fitting for his historical reputation. And Lü Buwei has real aura to him.

Of course all of this historical foundation and good research will back up the worries I voiced earlier, about making it all the easier to tell what happens in the future and who's going to die and how. But I never cared about spoilers that much to begin with. I'm having a good time.

Prima di quella che sarà inevitabilmente una battaglia sanguinosa per il controllo del Qin, e per consolidare l’ancora debole potere di Sei, ecco che Shin e Ten devono diventare più forti: il primo si reca dal Generale Ouki che lo getta (letteralmente) in un campo di battaglia facendogli capire che si deve arrangiare e conquistare il territorio per lui; Ten, invece, volendo diventare uno stratega, viene mandato inconsapevolmente dal nemico, ovvero all’Accademia per Strateghi di Shouheikun.
Kingdom si prepara a pigiare (ancora di più) sul pedale del fomento.

Oh boy we're getting some training arcs? Ten finally gets something to do other than sit around reacting to Shin, and Shin... goes off to some weird places. I like that we get to see the Ryo faction but instead of going right into battle it's more politics and intrigue. So far Kingdom has gone from battle to battle, revolt to war to assassination, and while it certainly looks like there's more action in store for Shin I'm looking forward to the main 'plot' fading into the background for a bit to focus on Shin's abilities (or need to develop some).

Shin qui commence son premier "vrai" entraînement pour accéder à l'entraînement exclusif d'Ou Ki, une magnifique nouvelle pour moi qui suis fan de ces deux personnages! Mais les autres ne sont pas en reste et je sens que la prochaine guerre s'annonce bien plus riche en émotions et suspens encore. J'ai hâte.

Became weirdly invested despite the grotesque art style, but after finding out how many volumes are left, going to put this on pause...

[James Winduss · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolute fucking banga of a volume

[Ali · Rating 4 out of 5]

این ولیوم بهتر از دو ولیوم قبلی بود. با چهار ستون اصلی حزب ریو آشنا میشیم. درگیری‌های سیاسی کم کم داره شروع میشه. ژنرال اوکی هم مثل همیشه می‌نوازه

[Mati Boi · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Jota · Rating 4 out of 5]

ついに呂 不韋が登場！テンは軍師の道を選んで、信も訓練を始まる。
いろんな展開が起こって、次はどうなるのかの楽しみ感がこの漫画の特徴です！
