Kingdom vol 1 by Yasuhisa Hara
Set in the Warring Kingdoms era of ancient China, this manga is the story of two young orphans who honed their martial skills by constantly fighting each other. They dream of becoming big generals, and when the opportunity arises for one of them to follow that dream, he grabs it. But things at the Qin court are not straightforward, and from there they both get engulfed in chaos. It's a pretty strong beginning, with lots of fights and a pretty caricatural main character, but it's compelling as well. I don't know that I'll necessarily follow it avidly, but I will read the rest with pleasure if the opportunity arises.
