Question: What manga series is loosely based on a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty?
Sentence (from "Sino-Tibetan relations during the Ming dynasty"): But most scholars outside China, such as Turrell V. Wylie, Melvin C. Goldstein, and Helmut Hoffman, say that the relationship was one of suzerainty, that Ming titles were only nominal, that Tibet remained an independent region outside Ming control, and that it simply paid tribute until the Jiajing Emperor (1521–1566), who ceased relations with Tibet.
Relevant evidence: No
