After months of slump (stopped at that one horrible moment that happens around page ~175), and one of my best friends hyping it up as the best of the trilogy, I'm finally back in the right head space to continue my read!

This series so far is pure emotional damage and I ain't coming out unscathed of this one 😭

It was one of the first anime I watched and one of the first manga I managed to get my hands on as a teenager. I was so sad to lose my few volumes to water damage. So glad I managed to get my hands on this series again.

Nostalgia trip, let's go!

Nostalgia read let's gooooo!!!

Thoughts:
Liu Bei finally becomes king of Shu (and emperor later), then everybody becomes an entitled boomer and dies.
Guan Yu's ghost is starting to have a higher kill count than many characters.
Zhao Yun is still an MVP at 70 yo.
Meng Huo getting rekt for like 5-7 chapters by Zhuge Liang was pretty redundant.
Finally getting some Sima Yi vs Zhuge Liang action.
Ma Su y? D:

At last \o/

Apparently being so mad that your best bro got hurt while saving your baby son is reason enough to through said baby son on the ground in anger. #gigachadliubei

400 pages in and we finally meet Zhuge Liang, or "Chuko Liang" ... my eyeballs are still bleeding from this

rip Lu Bu

Lu Bu just being Lu Bu and Zhang Fei fail. Finally getting some Sun Ce and Zhou Yu action!

Still can't get over the fact that Lu Bu is called Lu Pu

I guess it's pretty fitting to start this while reading 3 Kingdoms, thanks cuz <3 the names are still not in pinyin wrgtjfdkjnh, but the French dub is readable so far

I knew Lu Bu was a treacherous character, but not to the point of legit betraying someone in the first 3 page he's introduced.

Also Liu Bei's physical description was... interesting. I can't get enough of Zhang Fei and his "bristling" stache every time he does something, hopefully that stays a things.

Welp this is definitely gonna be a long one, the text on each page is pretty small TvT

Finally jumping into it after so long! As someone who uses/reads pinyin regularly though, the Wade-Giles romanization really irks me, hopefully that subsides...
