Another Dark Fantasy Manga that i encountered which hold quite a potential since it is based from a long running Light Novel series. Oukoku e tsuzuku michi or Road to Kingdom is a story of man's journey to Kingship from a lowly Slave. The main character, Aegir is a former gladiator who broke free from his bondage and had his life changed after a fateful encounter with a female vampire. After spending two years with the female vampire who made Aegir a man and taught him the ways of the world, Aegir set forth on a journey as a mercenary to make a name for himself and become a worthy King and claim the female vampire as his wife rightfully someday. Since Road to Kingdom is a Seinen series, expect plenty of Gore and R18 fanservice and the manga certainly made quite an initialimpact with generous amount of H-scenes. Aegir's character essentially took the better qualities of Guts and Rance being less gloomy than the former while less sadistic compared to latter and still scoring chicks here and there.
I won't give my final verdict with this series yet but i think Road to Kingdom should be cut above the typical Isekai series, In any case Road to Kingdom is a good fantasy series if you want to step up from ecchi fanservice and settle with mature actions. As for now i will just try exploring the 400+ chapters worth of the novel translations to see the worth of the series.
