''[[Drifters]]'' is a manga written by Hirano Kouta (of ''[[Hellsing]]'' fame). It tells the story of the world's famous (or infamous) historical figures yanked from their own times (usually on the date they were meant to die) and brought to a fantasy-like dimension to wage war against one another, for reasons yet to be revealed.
The heroes of the story are called Drifters, mainly composed of Shimazu Toyohisa, Oda Nobunaga and Nasu no Yoichi, though others are introduced as the story continues. Their opponents are the Offscourings (or the Ends in the official North American translation), which oddly enough are composed of people who weren't evil in their lifetime (Jeanne d'Arc and Anastasia for example) but nevertheless are cutting a swathe across the fantasy land. And thus the stage is set for one of the oddest wars ever fought.
Recently picked up by [[Dark Horse Comics]] (who also published ''[[Hellsing]]'') and available for purchase in North America.
