Hey guys, I'm thinking of starting a /his/ book club. I recommend Sangokushi (Romance of the Three Kingdoms) by Yokohama Mitsuteru. It's in manga format so anyone can read it. It's also very historically accurate and uses actual Chinese names instead of Japonified ones (Probably better than actual translations).
The series has 60 volumes so I'm thinking about reading two volumes per week, that way we can finish within a year. And yes, the series is complete and very well translated.
I'll post a Pastebin if there's enough support.
Here's the book in question (look for it yourself)

Are you going to read a Japanese Manga about Chinese History and hope to learn something?
Is this a new level of troll unforeseen?

No, trust me, It's actually very historically accurate and uses actual Chinese names.

It's a straight up adaptation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and a good one to boot. I think I blazed through all 60 volumes in two weeks.
Now, the RoTK isn't exactly accurate but plenty of people consider it worth reading. It makes you familiar with the major players at least.

I would chide you for having no argument but I'm guessing you haven't read the manga or the novel so it's not like you can contribute anything to the thread.

The Three Kingdoms was more popular in Japan than in China.
