awesome manga, but historical definetly incorrect at times.
Because of my latin teacher - thanks to him I remember lots of stuff - I notice lots of stuff that never could have happened in those old times. Women in Greece had absolutely no freedom and there's no way a woman could have gone out with her legs even a bit exposed with even a little bit of leadership. That aside, there are lots of small things that were -simply put- ignored or changed for the sake of the manga. So do not read for the historical element, read for the entertainment element.
Cause this is what makes the manga so awesome. The art is actually very good even if it doesn't look like it on the first impression, and the characters are great. I want to read lots and lots of this manga and I'm happy to have started it after the hiatus ended --> No frustration about hiatus! 
Highly reccomended, even if you dislike historical stuff.
(It's not packed with that much info about the old times) Well, and my last words for this comment: Go ahead and read it!!

With 5 volumes out, it's becoming clear the autor's going to take huge liberties with history (at least, the way it's written down). Nevertheless his version is riveting and full of surprises, and without doubt his nonchalant handling of the protagonist certainly is unique and refreshing.
Eumenes is becoming one of the most interesting protagonists I've seen in a long time. Now, depending on how the author handles the aristocratic lifestyle of classical Greece, we may have a masterpiece in the making. |

This is by far one of the best manga's i have ever read. To be quite honest, however, I almost did not read it. While I have always been interested in ancient Greece and I like historical fiction,I did not want to read the manga because it centered around real historical figures because of the inaccuracy it is most likely to have.
Because I was bored i thought i would read a chapter or two to kill some time and I ended up reading all the current chapters in one sitting. Any miss giving’s I had about using real people as main characters were swept away through this enticing story. I don't know enough about greek history to tell you the manga's flaws, but I know enough to tell that it has many correct historical facts which the mangaka explains better than any textbook or teacher I ever encountered.
I strongly suggest everyone to read this manga. You will not regret it.

| Good, but not great by Shensuke on November 19th, 2009, 5:47pm |

Since everyone else is only commenting on the positives, I'll make my review a little more pessimistic.
The art is underwhelming. It begins rather slowly (not unbearably slow), but really picks up after the first volume if you give it the time. The mangaka shoves a lot of gore into your face in the first few volumes but there is little to be found in some of the later ones.
I'm not sure why there are remarks the originality of the main character. He is far from the first character to ever use brains over brawn, especially with the recent popularity of characters like Lelouch and Yagami. The mangaka himself even constantly makes comparisons between Eumenes and Odysseus; however, unlike Lelouch, Light, Odysseus, or almost any other main character in a popular work of literature you can think of, Eumenes is flawless.
He isn't weak, short-tempered, arrogant, boring, antisocial, evil, bad with girls, or even too kind. The story is basically about what the perfect male specimen would do under the most unfortunate conditions possible, but no one seems to have a problem with this because it's almost impossible to dislike him.
Definitely one of the better mangas out, but far from the best.

Historie.
The essence of Historie is too magnificent a beast to tame with my words. For me, to describe this ongoing masterpiece, would only tarnish its brilliance. Mark my words readers, the 230 votes for a ten is not a lie. You may not've gotten your cake (Portal reference) but, to a reader who's not blinded by their childhood or teenage wants; of action, fame, and glory for the former and of the same for the latter except with the lust for sex. To such a person who's open to the world I guarantee that this will be your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Although to the average person, the rainbow's probably invisible and that they just happened to stumble upon a five-year-old box of brownies stashed in an obscure corner, and upon opening one package, discovers that each package is laden with a bar of 24 carrot gold. Yes, this series deserves more attention from the manga world and I also thought the manga would be crappy at first.
After reading it I was like a starving peasant standing in front of a colossal two-story mushroom made of pure gold—and edible too. I was baffled, no a better word would be astounded. It's alluring plot held me like a spell as I sated my hunger eating away the chapters. The only thing I hate is the time spent waiting for chapters. Someone mentioned that it's serialized in a monthly magazine so that might explain it. Whatever, patience is a virtue.
This manga is an addiction I tell you. Be prepared to pull an all-nighter reading it.
5 stars out of 5

| Awesome. by se7a on June 6th, 2009, 1:59am |

This is completely awesome. It's so fresh, so well-done, so interesting. I'm 23 years old so it's really hard to find mangas that aren't about adolescence drama, targeting 15 years old kids. The plot is so strong without relying only on sex or psychological dramas. It's so well-written, it just doesn't look like a manga
The art is very good, the action is so fine.
By far, superior to almost everything I've read. Go and read it. Try Viland Saga if you like it.

Happily, Hox has picked this one up, so I can enjoy following my favorite protagonist again. As other reviewers have attested, Eumenes is probably one of the most likable, rational main characters you’ll find in any manga. He shares with his contemporaries a compelling sort of wry, unencumbered worldliness, and Historie showcases well-paced, subtle storytelling with a hint of irreverence. The utter lack of cheap sentimentality, pretentious philosophizing, and dystopian vulgarity is refreshing. Iwaaki Hitoshi demonstrates that history, science, innovation, and enlightenment can be entertaining without the superficial nonsense.

| Looking to get in touch with HOX by kyuubi654 on May 24th, 2009, 12:18pm |

Great manga, really, i'm speachless. It's got history, which would be enough for me, and that's not all, it also covers so much more angles of society, different nationalities, interesting tales and the life of Eumenes.
Btw. i've been searching for like a few hours now, but i can't seem to find a way to contact HOX. Anybody know how i could do this ?
Thanks in advance.

| Very nice. by StarlightDreams on April 8th, 2009, 9:50pm |

I don't usually make comments...but this manga made me so interested in it that I read it nonstop in one night catching up to the current releases.
It's just that great.
The story and plot is amazing and unique, I've always had a thing for historical manga.
The art is simple but it fits perfectly, nothing is over-dramatized, it's simple and brings out the significance of the story and characters this way.
For anyone who's not really into seinen manga, this is one that you should read to get started because it is definitely one of the better manga out there.
Anyways, it's a good manga.

| Incredibly well done story by sakirol on February 10th, 2009, 12:26am |
|
This is an incredibly well done story. The plot moves along smoothly, never taking too long at one spot and never breezing through any parts either. The main character is extremely attention-capturing. He has qualities that anyone would want in a main character. I especially like the drama. It suits my liking. It's not overdone, but it's well presented and leaves a good, light lingering feeling. The plot itself seems very natural and flows well.
I just love this series :]
