Every once in a blue moon, the author would colour in the odd page as part of a promotion drive.

The following is from Chapter Two:

Not quite manga-specific, this: a rematch of the Hussite Wars... some six centuries later?

I wouldn't be surprised if there are over a hundred "named" characters in this manga - there's an awful lot of cast members to keep track of.
A task made even more daunting if you're not especially familiar with the context in which the story is placed.
To rectify this somewhat, i've decided to highlight the most important group of all.
 
I speak, of course, of the "angels' choir":

A rather neat "easter egg", this one.

This is a vidcap from the IMCF 2017 Championship, held at Spøttrup Castle, Denmark last month:

Check out the bottom-right corner ~ one of the Polish fighters has a "Hussite chalice" adorned on his shield!  :blink:

Many thanks to the commentator for drawing attention to it.

Now, i'm not much of a gamer or anything, but this caught my eye today:
 
TtTCMOs.jpg
 
In particular, the storyline:

 

"Bohemia – located in the heart of Europe, the region is rich in culture, silver, and sprawling castles.  The death of its beloved ruler, Emperor Charles IV, has plunged the kingdom into dark times...  One of Charles' sons, Wenceslas, has inherited the crown...  His half-brother and King of Hungary, Sigismund the Red Fox, senses weakness in Wenceslas.  Feigning good will, Sigismund travels to Bohemia and kidnaps his half-brother. With no king on the throne, Sigismund is now free to plunder Bohemia and seize its riches.

"...you're Henry, the son of a blacksmith.  Your peaceful life is shattered when a mercenary raid, ordered by King Sigismund himself, burns your village to the ground.  By bittersweet fortune, you are one of the few survivors of this massacre...  Fate drags you into this bloody conflict and shoves you into a raging civil war, where you help fight for the future of Bohemia."

 

 

Man, does that sound familiar...  ;)

Historical namedrops.  This manga is full of 'em.

A good many were truly larger-than life characters, but here are a couple of "obscure" ones which piqued my interest:
