It went monthly waaaaaaaay before Farmland Saga. Like it was only in a weekly shonen magazine for 6 months before switching over to a monthly seinen.

Ah, I can never recall. Honestly, I really enjoyed it but a few friends dropped it for a while around then.

Wow, first chapter of Kingdom I've enjoyed in a lil while. Maybe it's because I'm basically rooting entirely against Shin and Qin these days. They just feel so...boring...

dooooooooooope. too bad it's just some Random Ousen Mook General. someone on Qin needs to die that actually matters (narratively speaking).

I have some bad news for you about how the Warring States period ended up for the Qin.

Yeah, I know, but the author had no problem inserting a DBZ character, so I'm hoping for way more bumps on the road and drama for the inevitable Qin Win.

Fair. Shin himself won't die unless he goes full alt history, though, dude's destined to become the great-great-grandfather of another important historic figure. History doesn't record his death as notable in any fashion. Some other Qin generals may well end up dead, tho.

it is pretty great that the since thorfinn had his epiphany these mass battle scenes have gone from tense and dramatic with occasional slapstick to senseless and brutal, some kind of horrifying farce

We don't know what happened to Leif Erikson at the end of his life. His last mention in the historical record is in 1019, and we know that his son, Thorkell, was chief of Eiriksfjord by 1025. No mention of his death appears in any saga, and it is believed he died in Greenland at some point between 1019 and 1025.

New Historie. I gotta admit the pace of release is killing me given who the story is now focusing on.
Spoiler/History Talk: So I assume that were going to get a combo story of Pausanius the Pretender and Pausanius of Orestis

A new chapter of A Bride's Story
Li'l Amir's pigtails :3:
I don't know how many times it can be said, but yet again the artwork and detail in this series bowled me over. I was looking at their hats and coats in particular this time, and realized how perfect the fur looks. Karluk's outfit looks to be mostly fox, the ruff on Amir's hat could be hare or possibly stoat, and her coat liner is almost surely wolf. Cuffs and hem are a little less distinctive but probably fox again.

There's a lot of poo poo that is going to happen even if the author follows history very closely (which they don't), just don't go looking for wiki pages if you don't want to see it though.

I follow kingdom mostly for the dumb gimmick generals. Right now I like the guy with the very hard knuckles that unexpectedly punches people with GREAT GENERAL strength.

One contrast I want to make is with golden age Berserk: there was a long running joke where Guts would meet some big dude bragging how much of a badass he is, and 9 times out of 10 Guts would brush him aside in a single swing of his old 2-hander.

Kingdom, Shin has to bleed and sweat for every single victory over a name character. And he loses, constantly.

When I mean I started I started following it in the same way I follow Vinland, Kamui, etc.

I know a few vague outlines of the Qin unification, meaning I have no idea how battles will turn out. Like the battles that are obvious existential crises for the Qin court, the Qin will win (the question is by how). The others, had me on the edge of my seat.

As I understand it the actual historical record is extremely vague at best.

There's a great part where the historical record SAYS that a major character in the manga dies, but they argue it can be interpreted in a way that means he just left town for a while.
