One for the guys that like the whole history or war and the art of war kinda thing.
Think back through all the alternate universe/ timeline plots you've read and you'll probably realize they all have one thing in common...it definitely has something to do with the modern world. Indeed, whether it is a ninja arriving in modern time or some kid who went to the demon world, there's always a link to our daily life so we can relate to it better... Drifter throws that out the window
Without spoiling or going in too deep, Drifters is about a bunch of warriors from all culture

So this is the manga that Kouta Hirano is working on now that Hellsing is over.
Okay, so right there, you should realize some things it will have: Blood, Violence...and, well, more violence. Although this manga is incredibly weird, it's a fix for hellsing fans now that hellsing is over. Personally, I like it. Kouta Hirano's signature art style is as weird as usual, and there is a serious dose of dark humor. There are not that many chapters as yet, so it's hard for me to really say anything about the story. Clearly it is going somewhere, but at the moment I'm ...

Drifters manga, first time I read this manga made me into fan quickly. I love the fact that war generals and famous bodies are in this manga and fighting off each other! even the fact that they are all great heroes.
If I were to compare this Masterpiece of a Manga to a game, This would be totally a DOTA or Defence of the Ancient type. But due to our lazy Author Kouta Hirana, Readers and Soon-to-be readers will have to achingly wait for chapters to be out in raws more so being translated but LUCKILY, a new scan group started releasing newer chapters already!! this made ...

Historical characters clash in a new world that has been over run by humans. The author shows the chaos and insanity of the characters with a unique art style. The art is very well done with thick lines and dark backgrounds that match the atmosphere of a time of war and darkness. The main character is very likable and very similar to Natsu in the sense of OP and personality, unless you include the way he wants to kill people for their heads. The story is somewhat predictable but in a lot of ways unexpected. One thing that bothered

---MINOR SPOILERS---
Drifters! Apparently it's by the guy who did Hellsing, but I haven't read that yet, so I cannot comment on any similarities. Drifters is really good. It's the best isekai that I've read, hands down. The characters are well-picked, and form a good mix between famous commanders and heroes (Nobunaga, Hannibal, Hijikata, Jeanne d'Arc), to lesser known historical figures (Toyohisa, Kanno, Anastasia). I read this with a friend who's a history buff, and had a pretty fun time learning about/researching each new character as they entered the story. Storywise, Drifters *has* a story, albeit one that can be a bit hard to follow at times. ...

If you are a fan of history, war and fantasy you will most definitely like this series. The idea is that when war hero's from all around the world and threw out time die, instead of going to a after life they instead get transported to a fantasy Tolkien like world where they duke it out against each other.
As you can guess war plays a huge part in this series, and the historical figures are pretty fun as well. Although they may not look exactly historically accurate, they do still look cool and hold that warrior look to ...

"Oda Nobunaga, give me back my legions!"
Drifters is the definition of a cult classic. It isn't popular, it doesn't win awards, but if you are the type that loves it, you freaking love it! The art is beautiful, gory, and glorious. If you love gore, you will love this. The characters are both funny and serious at the same time, and somehow the author makes it work. The jokes are even more funny if you know about the historical figures. History buffs, you will love it. The story is all about warfare and arts of war. This is the best depiction of a fictional war I have ... |
