Kingdom (キングダム, Kingudamu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yasuhisa Hara. It has been serialized in Shueisha‘s seinen manga magazine Weekly Young Jump since January 2006, with its chapters collected in sixty-five tankōbon volumes as of June 2022. Kingdom provides a fictionalized account of the Warring States period primarily through the experiences of the war orphan Xin and his comrades as he fights to become the greatest general under the heavens, and in doing so, unifying China for the first time in 500 years.

During the Warring States period in China, Xin and Piao are two brother-like youngsters who dream of becoming Great Generals, despite their low status as orphaned slaves. One day, they encounter a man of nobility, who gives Piao an opportunity to undertake an important duty within the state of Qin’s royal palace. Parting ways, Xin and Piao promise each other to one day become the greatest generals in the world. However, after a fierce coup d’état occurs in the palace, Xin meets with a dying Piao, whose last words spur him into action and lead him to encounter the young and soon-to-be king of Qin, Zheng Ying.

Although initially on bad terms, Xin and Zheng become comrades and start on a path filled with trials and bloodshed. Zheng’s objective is to bring all the warring states under Qin, and Xin seeks to climb to the very top of the army ranks. Against a backdrop of constant tactical battle between states and great political unrest, both outside and within the palace, the two endeavor towards their monumental ambitions that will change history forever.

In 2013, Kingdom was awarded the 17th Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Grand Prize. As of April 2017, the series has sold 30 million copies.

On December 12, 2012 the series won a Guinness World Record for manga written by the most people. The record was made possible due to its “Social Kingdom” Campaign where artists, fans, and voice actors redrew the entire 26th volume. Each of them picked 1 frame and redrew it and the top 100 would be given a special edition of the manga. Eiichiro Oda (One Piece), Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto), Hirohiko Araki (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken) and many others were among the participants.

NOTES:

. What’s the difference between our ColoredManga Colored Council team’s Kingdom vs the Kingdom on OTHER websites?
OURS is far higher quality, because we are re-doing the entire Kingdom series with HD HQ  (1920×2800) pages from official French digital releases from France. So we’re replacing all the low-quality pages with the high quality pages, while keeping the English translations.

. Just so you know, an OFFICIAL English translation does not exist, anywhere on the internet, or by any company.

. So this HQ HD fan translation on this website is the best that you can get to an Official English Release.

. KojoZero, the co-founder, has been editing Kingdom’s English scanlations with much higher quality raw pages, in order to bring it as close to an Official English digital release as possible.

. This is the OFFICIAL French Digital Release of Kingdom replaced with ENGLISH Fan translations from Mangadex (but using higher quality French pages.)

. The previously uploaded volumes have also been COLOR CORRECTED.

. KojoZero is planning to do up to v60 (the latest French raws available at the moment.)

. We have uploaded the first 6 volumes of the Kingdom Manga in high quality (1920×2800) using the translation of turnip farmers with the Japanese names.

. Just to make sure that people aren’t confused, this is a Black and White release, not a colored one.

. Our Kingdom Manga version is of much higher quality than Mangadex, scanlated by the Colored Council.

. Please read on coloredmanga.com directly to show your support (since we need the ads to pay for storage to be able to unlimited mangas.) So skip the Cubari Github link below.

. Alternately, less recommended but more convenient for you is to read from this Reader (We won’t be giving a Cubari Github reader for every series, because we need the ad revenue for this website to survive, it costs $600 per year to run! This is an exception/gift to the Kingdom community!)
