Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk, Vagabond, Real) is one of the greatest mangaka of all time, a true artist and writer. I believe that Xia Da is a promising young artist that is following in his path. Chang Ge Xing (Chōkakō) feels in many ways like a young woman's take on Vagabond, the perspective is different, but her work is humane and resonates for me the same way Vagabond does. Princess Li is a wonderful character, she is flawed and immature at times, but you can't help but want her to grow. The artwork is amazing, the story clever, the characters complex. Musashi has his swords, The Yongning Princess Li Changge has her mind. There is less blood, less violence, with a greater focus on strategy but it shares with Vagabond an often agonizing (in a good way) search for one's place in the a violent world. It is a manga* that I keep re-reading and have never tired of. * Is it a manga or is it a manhua? Xia Da is Chinese so it's a manhua. The series' primary serializer/publisher Ultra Jump is a Japanese company, so is it a manga? It's amazing, categorize it however you please.
