Drifters

Drifters

A manga where historical figures are summoned into a fantasy realm to do battle.

A interesting series to say the least. Kohta Hirano is best known for his Hellsing series and his distinct art style carries through in this one. Unfortunately I’m completely ignorant when it comes to history so it was difficult to understand the references with some of the historical characters. I felt similarly when I read Alan Moore’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Regardless, this is a decent action manga and available in English from Dark Horse Comics.
