Souten Kouro (2009)

China 2A.D.: the corrupt Han Dynasty has thrown the entire country into chaos. Peasants revolt against the government. Into such an age, the ruthless and infamous hero, Chao Chao Men De is born. Destroying old customs and values, he tries to unite China, with a band of promising and intellectual followers, handpicked for their individual talents and potential. Generally thought a villain, Chao Chao Men De is portrayed as a hero in this story, which focuses on what kind of person he actually was. There are two other protagonists: Liu Bei Xuan De and Sun Quan Zheng Mou. Lui is a man of high morals and infinite potential. His servant, Zhu Ge Kong Ming is a mysterious man, who helps Lui to become a king who is loved by millions. Sun is the third descendant of the Sun family. A young and immature king also comes into the picture, creating more chaos. This is a Tale of the Three Kingdoms ("Sanguozhi") in which these three men rage war throughout China. (from manga)
