Historie

May 9th, 2008

After I finished reading Parasyte, I happened to pick up Historie, done by the same mangaka, Iwaaki Hitoshi. I declared that it is one of the best manga I’ve ever read. It loosely bases on the life of Eumenes.

I definitely like its storyline, character development, and, especially, little ancient Greek history lessons. I can’t help it that Eumenes looks exactly like Shinichi of Parasyte… It just bothers me.

It’s available in English at onemanga.com, but only up to Chapter 34 so far. Chinese/Taiwanese have it up to Chapter 43, google “歷史之眼”… 安第哥是馬其頓王腓力二世?!

If you are interested to read some historical manga and learn little history lessons, I’d recommend this manga and another manga, Vinland Saga (kudos to Kanoe).


同一個天下,同一個夢想!

I happened to read the news that Jackie Chan would kick some butt if anyone dares to stop him carrying the Olympic torch. It kinda inspired me to doodle something. I can imagine Guan Yu carrying the torch and slaying the “Free Tibet” demonstrators… Haha… Oh…

So, watch out for Guan Yu Yunchang and his deadly Guan blade!
