Drifters

Synopsis: At the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Toyohisa Shimazu is the rear for her withdrawal troops and is seriously injured when she is suddenly in a modern and bright white corridor. Faced with only a stoic man named Murasaki and hundreds of doors on both sides, Toyohisa is pulled to the nearest door and a completely different world than his.

The strange land is filled by all kinds of fantastic creatures, as well as warriors from different times of the world of Toyohisa, who thought they were dead. Making friendship quickly with the infamous Lord of the Nobunaga Oda War and the former archer Yoichi Suketaka Nasu, Toyohisa learns about political agitation tearing the continent. In addition, they were summoned as "drifters" to fight the "ends", people responsible for creating the Orte Empire and are trying to annihilate the drifters. As the ends become more powerful, the same is true of the persecution of the Empire to elves and other demihumans. It is up to Toyohisa and her group of unconventional heroes to fight in a new world war to help the subjects of the Empire while protecting the earth to claim for themselves and challenging the ends.
