Oriental History through War
Description
Book Introduction
“Oh, that’s right, that’s right.
My brother doesn't really have any grand excuses.
“I just wanted to experience war at least once.”

*** The very same comic that heated up various communities such as Pemco, Ruliweb, and DC!
*** Webtoon serialization confirmed before publication! Drama adaptation confirmed! (I hope so!) Movie adaptation contract! (Wouldn't it be greedy to wish for that?)

Would you believe that the statement, "There are countless causes of war," was actually false? "Religious conflicts, territorial disputes, economic crises, ideological differences…"
You might be thinking, 'There are so many reasons for war in the world!'
But the 'root cause' of war is nothing more than the greed of an arrogant and foolish leader.
Japanese Army Regimental Commander Renya Mutaguchi started the Second Sino-Japanese War without permission from his superiors, just because he wanted to start a war, and British Parliament members condoned the sale of drugs and started a war to increase their stock holdings.

The arrogance and foolishness of leaders is a long-standing human tradition that continues to this day, and it is the people like us who suffer the consequences.
What can we do in this situation? Turning each page of "A History of the East Seen Through War," we laugh at their foolishness, ridicule them, and at the same time, vividly remember the atrocities they committed.
"Oriental History Seen Through War" is the second book in the series "History Stories That Are More Interesting in Comics."
It is filled with more memes and humor than its predecessor, 『A History of the West Through War』, and it is fun to 'chew, bite, taste, and enjoy' the leaders.
That doesn't mean this book is just funny.
Because if you look at interesting pictures, you can see the other side of history.
The moment you see the bloody face of history disguised as comedy, will you be shocked or will you burst out laughing?

Publisher's Review
This idiot is our leader and he started a war?
The outrageous atrocities of leaders who are bursting with anger


Let's solve a simple problem.
Pick the one who killed the most people!

① Napoleon ② Hitler ③ Putin ④ Hirohito ⑤ Hong Xiuquan

Do you know the answer? The answer is number 5.
Hong Xiuquan, a cult leader from the Qing Dynasty.
Believing himself to be the brother of Jesus, he started the Taiping Rebellion, which killed between 20 million and 70 million people.
Did you know this? Probably most people didn't.
It is also a little-known fact that he was nothing more than a Confucian scholar who had failed four consecutive exams in the past and had become mentally unstable.


As such, there have been countless foolish and arrogant leaders throughout history that we do not know about.
Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, dragged his nemesis Liu Bang into a drinking party and let him escape because he was 'in a good mood', and Wang Jin, a eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, changed his retreat route after losing a war to avoid being humiliated by his hometown people, and ended up ruining his country.
Just hearing about it is heartbreaking and heartbreaking, so how much more so must the people have felt at the time?

I thought the leaders' antics were just ridiculous stories from history.
But when I came back, I realized it wasn't someone else's story.


It would be nice if such 'heartbreaking and heartbreaking atrocities' were a thing of the past, but that is not the case.
Just look at the Iraq War that broke out in 2003 and the Russo-Russian War that broke out in 2022.
The world was thrown into chaos by the misjudgment and arrogance of one leader.
This is why wars in history cannot be dismissed as ‘someone else’s story.’
Our leaders are still stupid and arrogant.
So, it is our freedom to freely curse and laugh at their foolishness.

"Oriental History Seen Through War" is the second book in the series "History Stories That Are More Interesting in Comics."
To aid understanding and add fun, we actively utilized internet memes and black humor, and also meticulously paid attention to historical facts and verification.
The combination of Salah ad-Din, the 'idol of FM Korea's Mystery Gallery', and Abdulwaheguru, the 'eccentric cartoonist who wears a turban', has already been verified in 『Western History Seen Through War』.
Since it is a combination of trust and observation, if you flip through the comics smoothly, you will soon find yourself understanding the overall flow of the history of Eastern warfare.
Join two authors who boast overwhelming 'drip power' and knowledge to meet foolish leaders and the wars they cause.
