I’m okay! I was sick for a few days but I recovered. To be honest, I was pretty panicked for a time since there’s a pandemic. I hope I won’t get sick again. Thanks for everyone’s good wishes. Please stay safe, everyone!

Imperial Edict (Completely Translated)

Summary:

In Xia Kingdom, the general’s granddaughter, Situ Xiu, wasn’t only weak and cowardly but she is also a stutterer! One day, her younger twin brother decided to run away on a whim. The emperor, not knowing the situation, issued an imperial edict sending her twin brother to the frontline of the war!

Shenanigans ensue when Situ Xiu must crossdress to take her brother’s place as the young general. She’s forced to lead the army against the Cha kingdom’s God of War, who is a total hottie with heterochromia.

The manhua’s 52 chapters have been completely fan translated and you can read it at – https://mangadex.org/title/35459/imperial-edict

I really enjoyed the story which is quite funny. The art is nice, with a sort of soft and clean look. Imperial Edict is a fun, medium-length read that doesn’t get boring and has a satisfying ending.

Thanks for reading.

Nise no Chigiri manga

Based on the otome (romance visual novel game) of the same name, the Nise no Chigiri manga has been completely scanlated in English by fans. It has 19 chapters which is a good length – not too short, not too long.

The art is pretty good and I like the male “targets.” It’s a reverse harem manga full of bishonen and ikemen, what’s not to like?

Of course, since this is the manga adaptation, not the game itself, only one route is explored. You’d have to play the game to get all the stories of all the possible romance routes.

The manga’s route is the romance with the most hot-blooded of the guys which is fine… but my personal favorite is the male yandere one. *cough* I love male yanderes only in stories, not in real life. *cough*

Summary:

Mana is an ordinary high school student who somehow travels through time to the Sengoku Jidai (Warring States) period, and encounters Uesugi Masatora, one of the generals. He decides to protect her, while his rival Takeda Shingen targets her. With Mana knowing the outcome of this war, will she change the future?

8 Bit Theater

I’ve talked about manga, manhwa, and manhua but I’ve not mentioned my all-time favorite webcomic series – 8 Bit Theater.

It’s a sprite comic using the two-dimensional character art from the video game Final Fantasy. Therefore, it looks very retro. It’s not the art that’s amazing, it’s the writing.

The story: Four Light Warriors embark on a quest to defeat Chaos.

Characters:

• Black Mage — A wizard specializing in black magic with a sharp tongue who makes no apologies for being evil.
• Fighter — A matchless warrior who likes swords. Naive and childish.
• Thief — A greedy elf prince who uses his smarts to scam everyone.
• Red Mage — He thinks that their world is a tabletop game and he’s playing a (cheaty) min-max build.

My favorite quote:

Black Mage: Know this. There is a Hell, And when you are there I shall visit upon you such dark horrors as their names cannot be spoken.
Red Mage: You need more stickers.¹
Black Mage: We are so far beyond stickers.
Red Mage: Stickers increase your max speed.
Black Mage: Tell me more.
