Kingdom is one of the greatest pieces of fiction ever written. The arcs the fights the characters the art everything is master class there is no lack of action of intensity in any given arc. The story is unpredictable not forcing you to pick sides showing you the terrors of war. Shin is a beautifully written main character and maybe seen as a nuisance at times but he is truly one of the greatest developed characters in all of manga history. This is the perfect war manga and a great read for anyone looking for a long yet rewarding story. I 100% with all myheart recommend kingdom to anyone who is interested or may be in the future.
