MY REVIEW
an underrated manga that's like berserk in terms of gory and a story that's one of the best, and its base on real life history in my opinion as my favorite manga is one piece and berserk this could be your cup of tea because it can hold on its own with this 2 big manga, its really underrated. the characters are all badass and the setting of the arcs is almost perfect the calm before the storm and suddenly all shit is loose. u will see that this an ass pull when the protagonist win because its base on real history,the bad points about this manga is one character that possess unbelievable strength, and acts like an deus ex machina of the manga which a lot of people doesnt like including me because of its plot device which is not even mention in real history, the strong points of this manga is that almost all major characters are base on real life.
STRUCTURE
this manga focus on war, and politics so i don't expect anyone to understand the greatness of this story especially under aged reader as this is a seinen not a shonen so its not really for everyone, but if you like gory and war mangas this is for you as a total war player my self and a history enthusiast this is the perfect manga for me as i understand the politics and strategy of there approach in war in this manga, which is not only accurate in terms of real life battles but also display the horrors of war which isnt mention in any of our history books, the rape, the massacre what people think and emotions before a battle,etc it all display that, it even shows how a state can be formed and over thrown which is in it self is very impressive for me.

CHARACTERS
kingdom features a lot of different characters some that u will love, someone that u wish will die a painful and horrible death its not like other manga that some characters dont need just to be likeable, but overall the backstory and flashback in this is well put together and well placed at the right time theres no stretch in back story just so u can like a character it is well paced

ART
kingdom at first doesn't look special in terms of art style but it will continue to get better each chapter ill consider it like berserk or very close to that kind of level, it features a lot of different faces and a lot of characters which u will probably forget lol. it feature all of there emotion, what they going through u can see it in the art which the mangaka and one of the best manga panels u will ever see in mangas the background, the overall environment of the art is compelling the battles, the gore, the fightings its all exceptional.
