Story
It starts off with introduction of the father of the main character the emperor of the Shang dynasty and shows exactly whats the story is about. Humans vs Gods, humans who obey them and humans who rebels against them, fallen gods who don't see the way the other gods do things and also rebels against them, shadow faction who has an ancient grudge against the gods who are also planning to rebel against the gods.
The first part the story is about the main character called Geng Wu who had the posses the body of slave called Ah Goa (an slave boy who he had previously tortured for being a low class) to survive in the event when the gods raided their territory. He was still captured but not as the prince but as an ordinary human along with others slaves to work for them. together they work hard trying to survive..
Art
The art is great. alot of the gods look like monsters so I dont really care how they look. but for the humans it has the that chinese art feel too it.so it really fits with the theme
Character
Each and every character has a distinctive personality. so it really diverse around the story. we have the main character Geng Wu who turned from a brat to a real man after learning what it means to be a slave. we have the woman called bai cai who is really sweet ( you know. the kind that you will easily with no hesitation willing to risks your life for), Reliable and faithful. and the fallen gods with their beliefs
Enjoyment
by combining the story, art and characters this manga is easily very nice to enjoy and read it whether you have spare time or not. You will feel for the characters. you see will eye candy art and the story will have you hooked in no time
overall
If you like a read good read with alot of interesting dialog (as I said, this is dialoq heavy. Like as in bakamonotagari or medaka box) or interested in war between factions with each with their own powers , then manga is for you. I definitely recommend this.
