  素晴らしい英雄譚の始まり
  The beginning of a wonderful hero story
  友人に面白い漫画があると勧められて購入。動物の筆致に優れ、その特性を活かした物語や政治の文脈上の駆け引きなどまだ1巻とは思えない程濃密且つ隙間無く練り上げられた構想が素晴らしい作品だった。迫り来る大国の脅威に主人公らがどう立ち回っていくか楽しみにしたい。

  A friend recommended an interesting comic and bought it. It was a wonderful work with excellent animal brushwork, and the ideas, such as stories that made use of their characteristics and bargaining in the context of politics, were so dense and worked out without gaps that I still couldn't think of it as volume 1. I want to look forward to seeing how the main characters will fight against the impending threat of a major power.

  もっと評価されるべき作品
  Works that should be appreciated more
  トルコを模した架空の中世時代?を舞台としたヒロイック・ファンタジー。アルスラーン戦記っぽい作品だなあと読み進めましたが、どこか頼りない主人公が英雄として活躍、成長していくストーリーは世界観も細部まで作り込まれ、魅力的なキャラクター達も相まって読み応え充分。途中盛り上がっても有耶無耶に風呂敷を畳む大作が多いなか、１巻で掲げたテーマに最終巻でしっかり回答を示した内容はファンタジーとして完成度が高く、満足感がありました。漫画賞を受賞している割に知名度が低い気がするので、もっともっと評価されるべき作品だと思います。

  A fictional medieval period imitating Turkey? A heroic fantasy set in. It was a work that looked like The Legend of Arslan and then proceeded to read, but the story where the protagonist, who is somewhat unreliable, plays an active role as a hero and grows up is built in both the worldview and detail, and combined with attractive characters, it's enough to read. While there are many major works where people fold furoshiki without hesitation along the way, the content that clearly answered the themes raised in volume 1 in the final volume had a high degree of perfection as fantasy, and there was a sense of satisfaction. I feel that the name recognition is low even though it has won manga awards, so I think it's a work that should be appreciated even more.

  美しい絵に魅了されます
  I am fascinated by beautiful pictures
  This review contains spoilers. 地元のテレビで紹介されていて同郷の漫画家さんの作品なんだ読んでみたくなりましたなぜこんなにおもしろいの知らなかったんだ絵がすごいぞ話も壮大若すぎる少年が戦争の最前線で戦う国の為とはいえつらい誰よりも優しいのに

  This review contains spoilers. It was introduced on local TV, and it made me want to read it because it was a work by a manga artist from my hometown. I didn't know why it was so interesting, the picture is amazing, the story is grand, and even though it's for a country where boys who are too young fight on the front lines of war, they're kinder than anyone else
