New Legenda Naga # 9

Finally…after a long wait and wondering, the New Legenda Naga # 9 (Ryuutouden Chuugen Ryouran Hen, Japanese manga by Yoshito Yamahara) is available. This book made me fully awake this morning (even though few mins before I was so asleep) and made me skip my breakfast (geez...for me, meals always come first he he he). This series, along with Topeng Kaca (Glass Mask by Shuzue Miuchi) are the only mangas that I always wait patiently. I used to wait for 2 years just for a single manga update…phew.

For those who are not familiar with Legenda Naga, I highly recommend you to go to the nearest bookstore and get yourself a copy (from the 1^st book of course)…or you could find it on www.mangafox.de (for online reading). It is an epic manga about three kingdoms of China (yes, I know that are so many manga bout three kingdoms). However, instead of the well-known history of three kingdoms, the author added 2persons – boy and girl, named Shiro Amachi and Masumi as time-travellers (who incidentally transported to the era of three kingdoms, riding a dragon). That’s why the story is called Legenda Naga (dragon legend).

While trying their best not to change the history of China, these time travellers, who along with the story development, found their purpose and mission, and unexpectedly be drawn into the twisting politic and war of China. Don’t expect much about the history of three kingdoms, since this manga focuses on the time travelers. Believed as dragon reincarnation, the time travelers were known to possess certain god-like ability (either in fighting for Shiro or predicting the future for Masumi).

And on this newly-released #9 comic, it is about the fighting between the China emperor with wild tiger (continuation from the previous number) which was won by the emperor. This fight successfully inspired the war generals to support the emperor to go on war with Tsao Tsao. Shiro on other hand, was busy train his generals for the upcoming war with Wu. Not much action on this seri, but I better not to tell more than this…you better read it by yourself   *grinning*
