VIZ Media has announced that “Kingdom,” Yasuhisa Hara’s historical manga series, will make its debut in English on November 11, and will join the Shonen Jump service following the release of each graphic novel.
Offering a window into one of the most transformative periods in Chinese history, “Kingdom” is set during China’s Warring States period and follows Xin, a war orphan, who dreams of becoming a great general and uniting China. After his closest friend, Piao, dies under mysterious circumstances, Xin embarks on a journey to fulfill their shared dream. Along the way, he meets Ying Zheng, a young king bearing a striking resemblance to Piao, who seeks Xin’s help to reclaim his throne and change the course of history.
With over 110 million copies sold worldwide, the saga has inspired an anime adaptation, three live-action films, and PlayStation and mobile games.
