aka shoukoku no altair

genre: uuuh good question. political drama, if i had to choose

action, adventure, fantasy and shounen, too.

according to mangafox:

"Mahmut is a young Pasha serving on the general's council of Türkiye. The clouds of war are gathering over his country.

With Türkiye's council split between the warmongers and the pacifists, Mahmut begins his quest to keep the peace at any cost.

As he finds himself deeper and deeper in the politics of the ancient world, new enemies and allies surface.

Who will prevail? What will Mahmut do if war proves to be inevitable?

The Stratocracy of Altair is a history-flavored drama with clean art and an interesting storyline. Shounen lovers are likely to enjoy this,

ut fans of other genres are also encouraged to check it out. There's something for everyone -- be it action, politics, bishounen or angst."

and it is exactly that.

the art is VERY appealing in the sense that, for something with this heavy a storyline, doesn't add to the pressure

so it's a nice balance of simple enough art with really intricate story

NOTE THAT this isn't a manga for everyone. You gotta pay close attention and stuff.
