内容简介 Bi-Kwang Han has the potential to become the greatest fighter in the land - except that he's girl-crazy and more than a little childish. He stumbles upon Hwa-Rin, a beautiful and determined woman who - disguised as a man - is desperately searching for her grandfather, a man who happens to be the best fighter of the Establishment School. Hwa-Rin carries with her the Sword of the Flowers, a treasure of the land that is believed to be the key to finding the man she seeks - her grandfather. Bi-Kwang and Hwa-Rin's chance encounter soon proves to be providence, as together they search for Hwa-Rin's grandfather and struggle to keep the Sword of the Flowers from the hands of Sang Pil "Gold Cobra" Jin and his men...

编辑推荐 From Publishers Weekly Comedy and martial arts meet in this crowd-pleasing Korean manga. Bi-Kwang is a handsome young warrior who becomes a drooling mess whenever he sees a pretty girl. Out on the road he meets an extraordinary swordfighter with no name who is searching for a legendary master warrior. Bi-Kwang promises to aid the swordfighter if he lets Bi-Kwang meet his beautiful sister. Of course, it turns out the swordfighter is the sister, Hwa-Rin Dahm, and she must switch identities to keep the plot moving along. Bi-Kwang is immediately smitten, and thus we have a triangle involving only two people. Yet another manga that uses cross-dressing as a plot device,
Ruler has the wit to poke fun at the absurdity of the convention: Hwa-Rin is astounded by Bi-Kwang's stupidity in being fooled by her masquerade. Indeed, Bi-Kwang goes to unbelievable but funny lengths to explain away every piece of evidence that the "swordsman" is a woman. This unlikely pair is hunted by many enemies, although the greatest danger to Bi-Kwang is probably getting beaten up for taking liberties with the ladies. Yang draws powerful battle scenes, but handles the humorous elements deftly, too. Writer Jeon adds a level of vulnerability to Hwa-Rin, but keeps the rest of the story moving with a brisk mix of hardcore action and screwball comedy.
