Ya Boy Kongming! 1 by Yuto YotsubaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher Kodansha Comics for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The great general of the three kingdom, Kongming at his deathbed made a wish to be reborn in a "peaceful world" and he will see it being granted by the universe when he wakes up to a modern Tokyo where he will meet or be found by a girl Eiko outside a club who aspires to become a famous singer. As an amazing tactitian on battlefields, Kongming will be helping his lady Eiko to fulfill her dream of becoming a top singer by using his genius and adapts it to the modern society.
It is this kind of absurd comedy, funny-ish Japanese mangas that are so irrealistic that make you ask yourself the what if questions like what if it was Napoleon or Alexander the Great and so on? Can you imagine them in our time with all the technology. I think that.the authors started it this way and selected Kongming from the characters of history.
It was so-so for me, a crazy idea that made me curious about how are they going to make it work and what are they going to make Kongming do and work. It was a strange mix of music theme and history but it wasn't so much interesting as the story goes on.
