I had to get out of bed and grab my computer just to write this review, because this manga deserves much more love. To start with, it's got a really specific style that is both cinematic, intricate and yet kind of goofy. I've always found it very beautiful and intriguing. It's got a great story, I've never read or watched anything else that was based on Chinese mythology and historical China -- or nowhere near as closely. It makes for a very interesting read. I haven't watched the anime as I was worried it would spoil the manga, which in and of itself is sayingsomething: the manga slaps. I still have cold sweats when thinking of Dakki's Banquet. Ryu Fujisaki really knows how to do creepy, which is very hard to do. Please read it.
