Media
Manga
The manga was first serialized in the KibÅ no Tomo magazine, which changed its name to Comic World in 1978, and then to Comic Tom in 1980.
Although Eiji Yoshikawa only wrote the story up to Zhuge Liang's death in the Battle of Wuzhang Plains, the manga continued until the fall of Shu Han.
With this manga, Mitsuteru Yokoyama won the 1991 Japanese Cartoonist Association Award for Excellence.[1]
Anime
The anime was largely faithful to the manga, though it centered mainly on the camps of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, often minimizing the scenes of other camps. The anime stopped after the Battle of Red Cliffs, which is about the midway through the manga series.
