The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Vol. 1 by Yoshiki Tanaka

2.0

Apparently this manga was inspired by a series of novels, which were inspired by a Persian legend. The art style is recognizably Hiromu Arakawa from Fullmetal Alchemist.

A few years later, after meeting a slave, Prince Arslan of Pars faces his first battle after war broke out again between Pars and his county's enemy, Lusitania. Though a back stabbing leads to Pars defeat and Prince Arslan fleeing with his bodyguard and friend. That's the end of vol. 1

The art and character designs are beautiful, but I've read the volume 3 times and haven't a interest of picking up vol. 2. Good story from some, but not my cup of tea at this time.
