      From: bliss@mouse-potato.com                       Nobunaga wo Koroshita Otoko Ongoing 0.0       Author: AKECHI Kenzaburou              Genres:Action Adventure Drama Seinen Mature Historical              Out of all Japanese historical figures, Oda Nobunaga is probably       the one with the widest range of interpretations. But what was       the real Nobunaga like, and why was he really betrayed and       murdered? While a lot of manga make their stories more interesting       by taking historical liberties, this one does the opposite, using       historical research to paint a clearer - yet more intriguing -       picture of the man behind the myth.                Well this is another excellent historical manga with points       of departure in present time academia. It brings up some       excellent point including at the present time a rehersal of       everything known about Akechi Mistuhide, who rebelled against       Nobunaga and started a rebellion that killed Oda and some       of his most valued relatives. It darkens the glory of Hideyoshi       Toyatomi as is common in such stories.               The beginning at least of what should be a longer       story is now online. Worth the reading.               bliss              --       bliss dash SF 4 ever at dslextreme dot com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
