3.5 Stars - Solid start in the series but I hope for more story in the following volumes

É bom estar de volta a uma obra de Hirano-san. Pequenas falhas à parte foi um primeiro volume cheio de potencial. O conceito base faz lembrar o conto "On the River" de Robert F. Young e os livros da série "Riverworld" de Philip José Farmer que este inspirou.

This is so different that what I've expected, i thought it was just a typical historical manga, it's not bad though.

I was a big fan of Hirano's Hellsing series, so another manga that promised to pull in even more famous historical figures sounded intriguing. The first volume of Drifters has a little too much going on to make it completely successful as an introduction, but I'm hoping the pacing will slow down a little so readers can get a chance to really untangle the mythology. And it's a great one--Earth's most famous warriors are mysteriously pulled into an alternate dimension populated by magical creatures, a world that seems to be controlled by an organization ready to correct any problems that are sure to incur during culture clashes. There are complicated politics at work here that are only hinted at (so I guess Anastasia and Joan of Arc are bad guys? and what does that make our three protagonists?), which I really hope are laid out more clearly as the series goes on. But this series has that same blend of humor, violence, and unapologetically vicious characters that made Hellsing so great.

This first volume was kind of a hot mess. But I’m intrigued by the premise and I’m going to stay optimistic that the story will be less jumbled as it progresses, hopefully sooner rather than later.
