this comic has been discussed in some random topics, but never got into the links or a main topic, so some people probably don't know about it...it was recently put on onemanga. Kinda flashes back to early korea/japan/china whatever, and a guy is like magically in a warrior princesses body...kinda.

Judging by the hook-spears, siege and hand crossbows etc. in the opening scenes, I think it's supposed to be China. The clothing, scimitar-style swords wielded by the horsemen, and the two-humped Bactrian camels suggest North-Western China/Mongolia (I don't know what those regions were called in the era depicted).
Ah, I've just reached this panel, which includes a map:

I really like the art-style in this so far.

It's not bad for an action manga. It doesn't really have a TG storyline though.
Towards the beginning there is a reference that this is all a dream of a boy (who is the main female protagonist) however there isn't anything else about that at all. Removing just those few pages wouldn't even affect the rest of the story as it doesn't come up again (at least not in the posted segment).
Maybe the writer was thinking about it and changed their mind later on?

Interesting,
I haven't got very far yet, but looks to have some potential.
But if things don't start to tie together I will start to loose interest.
Thanks for the link.

Thank you for sharing this.
I have read the fifteen chapters that are up.
I can really relate to her pain, I know that with all the killing and the madness involved that that might sound sick but I can. especially in chapter 15 the true pain of loss beyond the rage, hopelessness, and shallow vindication really shows.
I hope there is more soon.
