Before you read this manga you need to know the background of the Three Kingdoms Era. If you played Dynasty Warriors games or you have read a novel from that era you will be ready to read it. However, if you like me read it blind-fully you won't understand everything. You will take a lot of time to memories the characters names and their titles.

I read more than 50 chapters and still there are a lot of things that doesn't make sense and I don't know what is going on, because the mangaka thinks some info is a basic info no need to explain it.

In the end you need to know these things before reading this manga:
1- Names of the famous heroes in that era.
2- Names of the main cities.
3- Names titles (ex.Gongzi = Young Master).
4- How the three kingdoms are distributed in the map (China's map in that era).

If you know these information you will LOVE this manga, because it has awesome plans and strategies almost in every chapter, not to forget the epic battles.
