The art in this manga is really amazing. Very storybook-ish, but in a good way -- it's charming and eye-catching, and very detailed. I loved it. But what really makes this manga unique is that it's a political historical drama set in Turkey -- a fictional Turkey, but still. As you might expect, the costumes and the settings are really lovely, and the wartime functioning of the Diwan (council of generals) is interesting. It's very much a shounen manga, not a seinen one, so neither the art nor the storyline have mature content. It's safe reading for people that don't want to be overdosed with graphic sex or violence, and that want a good, clean action story.

I'd like to thank Boredom for scanslating this. Whoever you guys are, thanks so much!
