Where it came from
Ad Astra - Scipio and Hannibal is a historical manga series written and illustrated by Kagano Mihachi, serialized in Young Jump starting in 2011. The work serves as a dramatic retelling of the Second Punic War, focusing on the tactical brilliance and shifting fortunes of the Roman general Scipio Africanus and his Carthaginian adversary, Hannibal Barca. The series is grounded in classical historiography but stylized for the seinen demographic, emphasizing military strategy and the political pressures that defined the Mediterranean power struggle.
Kagano Mihachi's approach to the narrative prioritizes a gritty, analytical perspective on ancient warfare. By contrasting Scipio's methodical Roman discipline with Hannibal's intuitive tactical genius, the artist creates a tension-filled character study set against the backdrop of world-altering campaigns. The series received critical attention for its detailed artistic interpretation of ancient weaponry and formations, gaining a dedicated following among readers interested in historical fiction and military history.
