Contents of the Special Collaboration Guidebook “Chikyu no Arukikata: Kingdom”
The wildly popular manga *Kingdom* and *Chikyu no Arukikata* have teamed up for a special collaboration!
This guidebook thoroughly explores the world of the manga—set in China during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods approximately 2,300 years ago—from a perspective unique to a travel guide.
The area guide is divided into the seven states—Qin, Chu, Wei, Zhao, Han, Yan, and Qi—and guides readers to locations associated with each state and the story.
Historic sites and landscapes that still exist today are introduced as “re-experience spots” alongside actual photographs, connecting the world of the manga with the scenery found on-site.
Additionally, the book will feature on-site special reports covering visits to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and Handan, the capital of Zhao; a special interview with the original author, Yasuhisa Hara; and a feature touring Saga Prefecture, which has ties to Mr. Hara.
With the overwhelming amount of information unique to *Chikyu no Arukikata*, the book also explains the history and culture of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, allowing readers to enjoy the world of *Kingdom* even more deeply.
This volume lets you delve even deeper into the world of *Kingdom*, and once you read it, you’re sure to want to walk the very ground where the story takes place.
*Please note that some content is subject to change without notice.
