content

Shimazu Toyohisa is fighting on the battlefield of Sekigahara when he is badly wounded. Almost at the end of his strength, he suddenly stands in a hallway full of doors, in front of him a desk, behind it a man reading a newspaper. A short time later he is sucked in by a door and thrown out into a field. At the end of his strength he collapses. He is found by two elves who want to take care of him. However, they are stopped by Oda Nobunaga and Nasu no Yoichi. Toyohisa then learns that he is in a different place than his known Japan and also in a different time. This other world is visited by the so-called "Drifters", outstanding personalities of history who are waging a new battle there.
