I've attempted to read this several times. It seems like it could be interesting, but it jumps around too much and with the ancient background or whatever going on I have no idea if I just missed something or what. Maybe I'll try in a few months again, but for now it's making my head hurt.

The manga seemed to be okay, but unfortunately, the plot and the fights don't seem really connected at all. Plus, the mangaka doesn't give out a solid point of the Romance of The Three Kingdoms plot in order to connect it to present day characters. And I just can't sympathize with the main character no matter what. Hakufu's just a blond ditz who gets her body parts ogled at after one second of fighting.
Another thing, Tokyopop's translation is freaking me out. Too much slang going on to even understand what the characters are really saying.
With a shaky plot and no moderation whatsoever of fanservice and pointless fights, I don't think Ikki Tousen is worth it.

after reading it, this story felt that what ever kind of plot was there before got lost in translation. for the most part since it's seems like slapped together poor slang from back in the 90's is being used for it, the story doesn't make much sense. even during points where it looks like some important information in the plot was supposed to pop up at some scenes it ends up being some weird jibber jabber. i'm in agreement with anyone who thinks this should be picked up by some group so we can atleast get a proper translation of it, cause TokyoPop just isn't cutting it with their own.

this manga has some of the same qualities in Oh Great's works: fighting scenes, ecchi elements, quarky storylines...

But why this manga cant interest me probably is the way those elements meshed together. They are not fit well together. And they are not quarky enough.

I just read two vols then I asked myself: why do I have to bother with this maulk?!!

Way too much fanservice + lack of a decent plot = bad manga.

As with all comics that feature girls fighting, this is just plain stupid. It seems the author has never been in a fight, or even seen one in his life. And tiny girls beating up big, brawny guys? It just boggles the mind.
Either way, all the characters are dumb stereotypes, the guys all look like they've watched too many rap videos, the main character is an annoying ditz, and the fights are some of the dumbest I've seen.
The only positive thing is that it's fairly well drawn, and there's a couple of good designs thrown in. If they author had had even a hint of taste or perception of reality, it might have been decent.
