Kingdom (キングダム, Kingudamu) is a historical japanese seinen manga series written and illustrated by mangaka Yasuhisa Hara. It began its serialization on January 26, 2006, in Weekly Young Jump and was published by Shueisha Inc. where it is still being serialized.
In 2012 the manga received an anime adaptation by Pierrot. On June 4, 2012, the first episode of the anime series premiered. Currently, the anime has 4 seasons with 129 episodes with its fifth season airing since January of 2024. The series has also been adapted into multiple movies and a stage play.
Millions of years have passed since the times of legends when the worlds of man and gods were still the same. In these times it was the desires of man that moved the world. It is the period of the 500-year war: the Era of Warring States.
Born in the Warring States period of the central plains, Shin and Hyou are war-orphans in the state of Qin who both dream of becoming the "Greatest Generals of the Heavens" to rise from their lowly stations as slaves in life.
