One of the pieces of character motivation in Ikki Tousen that I found
interesting is that the characters get their powers from _magatamas_ ,
basically stones containing the souls of people from the Romance of the Three
Kingdoms. In exchange for this power, characters are (supposedly) cursed to
play out the Romance of the Three Kingdoms again, taking the role of the
person whose soul they carry; some characters are aware of this and
deliberately try to avoid their RoTK fates.

Which RoTK characters do each of the major Ikki Tousen characters correspond
to, and are there any ways in which the Ikki Tousen overall plot breaks from
the RotK plot (ignoring trivial differences that don't affect the ultimate
fate of notable characters)?

Note: This is specifically about the **manga** , not the anime.

How closely does Ikki Tousen match Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
