Mi finish the books liao...

The story is about this Jap boy who love Chinese Opera & his grand father was teaching him...
The grandfather was a disciple of Mei Lan Fang.
The grandfather gave the boy his treasured Chinese opera mask, given to him by his master Mei Lan Fang.
When the boy put on the mask, he travel through time & landed in Beijing in the 1920s.
Then begin the journey of him learning the Chinese Opera but not in good detail.
The author did not has any back ground on Chinese Opera & had borrowed heavily from the script of Leslie Chung's Ba Wang Bie Ji.
The ending portion was interesting, as it happen that the boy is actually his grandfather...hehe

To me this is just a reproduction of the movie Ba Wang Bei Ji in comic form.
Think my expectation too high, thought that this comic would provide a deeper understanding to the Chinese Opera but it turn out to be other people's script.

Thankfully this comic ends in 3 books else it might be a draggy one.
