"Living in a city filled with a diverse population, but only a select few know about its underground secrets, gun-blazing and blade action, deep backgrounds, and oh yeah battle crazy twin lolies."

One thing about this manga is the unique art style by Shirow Miwa and great action panels.

As I read along I got to know each of the main charectars history and figure why and how they came to be. So as a reader you can connect their relationships and their goals.

If you enjoy action, a bit of humor, and mystery. Read Dogs: Bullets & Carnage, also there is Dogs the one shot ... prequel.

All I can say is this is a masterpiece in my perspective, even though I have never read the actual "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" I am a fan of Dynasty Warriors, and when I found out about this graphic novel, it just put a big smile on my face.
Many of the distinctions of the storyline in correlations with the actual history is pretty accurate, but it is still made under the image/view of the author. One thing I don't like is how Zhao Yun is portrayed as an assassin =(

Since the author added many fictional aspects of the storyline as well as characters it ... makes this rather unique, but interesting. This manhua is spectacular in its historical reference. it mainly focus on how the Han Dynasty is crumbling and a new era of war has begun and many warlords fighting to either retain the former Han or make an entirely new empire.

In my opinion I think the most incredible part of the manhua is how it portrays war from all angles and the use of all sorts of resource. From military, politics, will of the people, assassinations, supplies, funding, trade, transportation, alliances, deception and several other things.

I find it somewhat amusing that from beginning to well beyond chapter 250 it focuses a lot on Zhao Yun and Lu Bu. Also it recognizes the slow rise of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and the Sun Clan. In addition the introduction of the "Eight Geniuses or Eight Enigmas" is intriguing, because they are the best amongst military advisors.

Many of the characters which I know from dynasty warriors who so far appeared didn't look like them, but their are similarities in personalities from the game to the manhua, which is good for me.

For those "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dynasty Warriors" fans I recommend you all read this manhua.
