One of Japan’s most successful manga series will be translated into English, 19 years after it began dominating its home market.
The new version of Kingdom, which chronicles ancient China’s dynastic wars, will go on sale starting in November, Yasuhisa Hara, the artist who created it, said in an interview. The manga has sold roughly 110 million copies domestically, making it one of the top 20 best-selling series of all time.
