For those that are truly confused in the story line. You should probably actually research the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is quite interesting that a manga is actually based with fan service, as well as historical relevance. This is absolutely a great manga series to read. I still collect because of its historical relevence, and Hakafu :3. To actually understand this series you have to read into a bit more.

This series is unique to its type; a manga based with history, and fan service smothered on top of it. If you guys wanted an in depth series try Gunslinger Girl which I reccomend to anyone that enjoys espioniage stuff, and futuristic stuff. Battle Vixen, or Ikki Tousen is a wonderful series that I reccomend to those that enjoy combat babes, and comedy on the side. The story isn't met to be handled with serious thought, but rather handled in a light mood. So quit over analyzing stuff you fellow nerds and geeks, and you fan boys.

Hakafu Sonsaku is a unique character which I thouroughly enjoy, not because of her character design, but her personality. She may be a ditz, but her determination to become stronger, and fight the strongest no matter who it is absolutely beautiful. This is the greatest series to read, but an enjoyable series to just sit down and enjoy. Once again, if you guys want an in depth story line, stay far away from this. I still don't understand how people get confused over this manga. Just don't skip a book XD. I did that once... never again!

I'm a manga artist, and I bought this book for the sole purpose of having a visual resource of busty female action scenes. The art in this series is consistent and masterfully executed. It also displays an extremely effective use of foreshortening.

However, the story is terribly confusing and hard to follow. I have up to book 6 and I still don't understand what's going on.

But if you just want it for the artwork, it's well worth it.

The drawings are lovely and very pretty. Really sexy. Hmm. You can understand,that this novel is worth buying for a certain reason...but then again,worth buying? The price is a little bit high - you can better try `google~hooker` or anything like that and then it is free. Unless you are desperately fan of Hakufu,the main character,which I think is a chance of 0.9 % out of 100%.

Anyway,on to the story.
Hakufu,the girl with the ass and breasts,needs to fight to get the power of 1000 (as far as I think I get the story.) Her mother doesn't want that she fights...but she does it anyway. And then there is her cousin. Yes,he is her cousin,but he is looking at her breasts anyway. And then there are the enemies+ one of them has the same earring as Hakufu's mother (although I saw everybody else wearing it too? I don't know what it is supposed to mean,but I think we will get to know that in the next volume.)
There is also a black haired girl and I think (or what I got from the story) is that she gets sexual pleasure out of fighting. And she is really good at it,too.

Honestly,maybe I just didn't got this story. Maybe I just misunderstood it,something that happens a lot to me. But when I just read it without searching for hidden tragic plotlines,It just annoys me,everything from the ultra shy cousin to the black haired fightress but Hakufu wins the jackpot. I am still searching for tragic hidden plotlines,and I will definitialy give this book a second chance,not because I miss my money but because I think there has to be something good in anything and there must be a reason why people love this.
