You know, I half think that isn't a good thing that the translation restarted now of all times, with how this chapter ends and after last episode of the anime.
Thank you for the translation, I read the series recently when I learned about the movie adaptation and was really surprised by the quality of it so I'm glad you picked it up.
Objectively Sorghaghtani won more than any other person in this scenario. All of her rivals were taken off the board and her four sons went on to make history.
The only mistake she made was not teaching Kublai and Ariq Boke to get along.
thank you so much for the translation ! i'm so happy someone picked it back up. the anime is beautiful and i'm so happy it got adapted but it doesn't really explain a lot of the cultural and historical details audience members like me don't know about like the manga does.
