CAT: Historical

11 chaps+... (ongoing) - I like this - a gender bender with a bit of a twist - everyone KNOWS she's a girl in guy's clothes from the start.

28 CHAPS (5*) - A beautifully rendered full color webtoon depicting the life of Kim Manduck, who overcame her orphan peasant beginnings to become a woman of great power in ancient South Korea.

258 chaps (5*) - This is one of the ones that hooked me on manga. I'm not big on good art interspersed with the chibi humor stuff, and this has it, but the story is rich and deep and I love it is seated in history.

13 chaps (5*) - A stirring hot pot of politics and culture leaves a young Japanese samurai injured and fighting for his life in the care of a commoner serving girl in 1614 Spain. Beautiful art!

AKA Bride's Story - 57 chaps...+ (ongoing) [5*] - 20 year old Amir leaves her nomadic tribe, sent to marry a 12 year old boy, and through her eyes we see the incredible richness of the cultures on the Silk Road. But the domestic tales grow darker as her new family and her old tribe conflict first with each other, and then the Russians who seek their land through war and subversion. The masterpiece quality art of this book alone is worth seeing. That it has a rich story is icing!

22 chaps (16 main [5*] + 6 plus extras) - Book 1 (of 2): Magnolia Waltz) - The two books combine to make one of the most wonderful love stories I have read so far!

13 chaps [5*] - Book 2 (of 2): Waltz wa Shiroi Dress) - These two books combine to make one of the most wonderful love stories I have read so far!

27 chaps (5*) - Really enjoyed this one! The art is not outstanding, but it's not bad. The story however, is engaging and the characters are interesting. A new favorite.

5 chaps [5*] - What goes through a woman's mind when she receives a letter from the man she loves saying he has been "assigned to a mission I can't come home from."

47 chaps [4*] - A well drawn time jump sort of story. When a dream become so real you are living it, how can you be sure it isn't really reality.
