Modao Zushi was originally published as a web-novel by Mòxiāng Tóngxiù in October of 2015. It has become a great success, particularly among fans of wuxia style storylines.
The series has been made into a manhua (manga), an animation series, a drama CD collection, and is scheduled to have a live-action production.
This review is ONLY covering the story as is told in the manhua, which differs slightly from the story told in the animation and the original novel. I’m working my way through the animation series as I’m writing this, so expect that review in the future.
