Hara’s period manga started with Xin, a slave child who aspired to be a military genius for the Qin kingdom. Xin aids the ascent to the authority of Ying Zheng, a youthful Qin monarch who supports his aim to unite China. Xin strives to be the best general of a force capable of destroying the Seven Warring States.

Owing to the Japanese administration’s initial national emergency against the novel coronavirus epidemic, the anime’s creative committee declared the following month that now the anime’ episode 5 and subsequent episodes would be delayed (COVID-19). In April 2021, NHK General commenced broadcasting the third series. The anime began airing again with the very first episode.
On April 9 at 24:00, the anime’s season 4 will begin on NHK General (effectively April 10 at midnight)
