I'm translating a comic and I found this kanji combination on the headers.
It's like a counter for pages.

> 其之一  
>  其之二  
>  etc.

その is the reading. I wanted to get more info about that but I didn't find
anything via google. Is that somehow familiar to you or is this way how it's
written just really old?

question
meaning archaic-language kosoado
其之 what's the exact meaning of this?
其之 is a rare kanji version of その meaning "its". The kanji 其 on its own means
"it" and 之 means "～'s". Today その is almost always written in kana, but they
used difficult kanji for archaism. Is the comic about ninja or something?

その is usually used as an old counter-like prefix for chapters/episodes/parts
of a story, not pages. For example その5 typically means "episode 5" or "part
5", not "page 5".

answer
The normal meaning was explained clearly by previous people, as a Chinese
learning Japanese I want to say some other things.

其: Chinese: it's(Third person possessive pronoun) Japanese: it(Third person
personal pronoun)

X 之 Y: Chinese: Y of/in/etc X, X's Y ~= 的(Modern) Japanese: mainly X's Y, == の

We Chinese only use "其一"(Chi' i in Mandarin, Ki' iat in Cantonese) to explain
the same meaning as Japanese "其之一"(その一, sono ichi)

Back to the topic, Japanese "其之一" means first of something, something might be
a actual topic/person/thing or others. We Chinese & Japanese & Korean usually
use Third person pronoun to represent the current topic.
