In the book How Do You Live?, there’s a chapter where one of the protag’s school friends is talking about Napoleon and how great and impressive he was, how noble and brave his character was, etc. The philosophical conclusion the book draws was that Napoleon was a very admirable and impressive person, but threw it all away on personal vanity and lust for power. I have also read that Napoleon was for some amount of time a popular figure in manga.bPeople here who have lived in Japan, is Napoleon generally popular there?
