About the author

Kohta Hirano (平野 耕太 Hirano Kōta) is a Japanese mangaka most famous for his manga Hellsing. Starting his career first as a mangaka's assistant (self-described as "horrible" and "lazy" in said assistant position), and later an H manga artist, he went on to enjoy somewhat limited success with other relatively unknown manga titles such as Angel Dust, Coyote, Gun Mania and Hi-Tension. His first major success came with his manga series Hellsing, which got its start and was subsequently serialized in a monthly manga magazine, Young King OURs, towards the latter half of 1997.

Reading this, I felt a bit like Toyohisa: Nobunaga's plans become so intricate that they are not always easy to follow. But watching him plotting and scheming is still a great joy. Weaving conspiracies into subterfuge, old Nobu finds efficient ways to get rid of his enemies and make new allies, putting Saint Germi's considerable skill as negotiator to good use. The two of them make a great team. Meanwhile, new players join the game and new mysteries unravel. Seems like this isn't the first rodeo in Fantasy-Land.

A few panels left me a bit confused about who was actually speaking, and some things seem a bit contrived, happening only for plot-reasons. Forex, the Octobrists go looking for Scipio to reunite him with Hannibal, to stop old Barca from going completely senile - but as soon as they find him, they literally leave him with the dogs in the woods. At least the parts with the dog and the cat people where actually funny. Overall though, this is still lots of fun.

Review for volumes 5-6: 2.5.
I guess this manga would be fun if you know Japanese history (especially the hate between 織田信長 and 明智光秀, or the whole 新選組 thing), but otherwise it's not that interesting anymore, once you get used to the idea of historical figures being sent to this fantasy world with dwarves and elves, fighting the fight they couldn't finish while they were alive in our world.
And I'm still not okay with 安倍晴明 dressed like a member of the French Foreign Legion with a beret. Weird.
