K Manga Adds Historie Manga

K MANGA describes the story:

After shocking the world with Parasyte, Hitoshi Iwaaki is back with a series he's been aching to tackle since even before his pro manga debut! A historical epic set in ancient times, Historie tells the story of Eumenes, a young man with quick wits and a vast destiny to fulfill. In time, he'll become a famed army commander and personal secretary to Alexander the Great—but the road to this glory is fraught with danger… "

Iwaaki began his ongoing manga Historie in Kodansha's Afternoon in October 2004. Kodansha published the manga's 12th compiled book volume on June 21. The series won the Japanese government's Ministry of Cultural Affairs' Media Arts Festival Award for manga in 2010 and the 16th Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2012.

Iwaaki's Parasyte (Kiseiju) manga ran from 1990 to 1995 and inspired an anime series and two live-action films from 2014-2015.
