Synopsis

General of the Three Kingdoms, Kongming had struggled his whole life, facing countless battles that made him into the accomplished strategist he was. So on his deathbed, he wished only to be reborn into a peaceful world...and was sent straight to modern-day party-central, Tokyo! Can even a brilliant strategist like Kongming adapt to the wild beats and even wilder party people?!

Wouldn't recommend it for those who want to get the same extravagant essence PA Works and Avex pulled off, unless if you want to find out the rest of narrative went after the 109 arc. As for why the manga is inferior in my case, there are numerous reasons I want to jot down:

• Non-existent or lack of raw, emotional character growth with the rest of the characters that made them human-like.

It's rare that I say this, but the anime is much, much better than the manga. Everything that was good about the anime is just not present in the manga.

The anime's storyboarding is pretty boring, but beyond that is the character design and especially atrocious are the backgrounds. I think it should be noticeable to anyone paying attention, but 90% or more of the backgrounds in any of ...
