Imagine a world of magic, full of elves and hobbits and dragons and orcs. Inside this world of magic and wonder there is a great war being waged, using warriors from human history as chess pieces in a bloody, endless battle.

This is a history nerd's true heaven. Not only that, but for people, like me, who aren't as "educated" or "into" history as some, this will be enjoyable. Honestly, I enjoyed a lot of the references and jokes in here. It's seriously interesting, and I love the way the author integrated the character's past and habits in their plans/ideas. Amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

Like people before have posted this is such an awesome manga. I don't about the others but when I was new to this series every chapter send chills down my spine like the kind you get when riding a roller coaster. The battle scenes are good but I prefer the personality and the facial expressions that the characters make. After reaching the latest chapter you would be pissed at Hirano for making this a monthly release.

this is an amazing read, the first several chapters are a bit slow but later chapters are where the characters and story really get interesting. the pacing is fast, action scenes get really bloody and brutal. what i like most is the insanity, cruelty and intelligence of the characters. the fantasy setting also doesn't hurt as well. give it a chance and you won't regret it.

I find the whole alternate world with the historical heroes a very interesting concept. Gotta love Toyohisa, his personality is wonderful and even more so as the story progresses. Looking forward to how the story is gonna develop further.

I really can't give a good comment atm but basing on the first 9 chapters, this manga shows great potential. The Characters are really interesting and the setting is somewhat base on the movie Lord of the Rings. The only annoying part is that its monthly and reading this will keep you wanting more
Also the main character is a badass and kinda similar to alucard.

Teh author, kouta hirano,is a fucking bastard, as can be expected to the author who take entire months off between hellsing and set it so that each chapter is like, ten pages, literally.

Anyways, you gotta stick with drifters for two or three chapters. The bloody beginning that just went on with a WTF calms down, and soon enough it becomes awesome as hell. I mean, the freaking satisfaction from finish reading the good chapters is amazing.

Art is as good as always. Hirano's a bastard, but the art is always top-notch, without fail. Seriously. I mean, every now and then you'll see a character that's like, "WTF is that girlycard?" or "WTF is that Walter?" but it's just his awesome art style, which becomes epic. I mean, at least get to chapter nine; I CANNOT WAIT until the volumes are released. Trust me, it's epic.

There's drama, action, bloody as fuck shit, but then there are those awesome comedy moments that are just ha ha ha wtf is this crap, but it's worth it. Hirano's a freaking genius, although you know that he's just drawing to feed his otaku habits, shit.

This is an intersting manga thanks to that many of the characters are actual persons that have existed.
By puting them in an altenativ univers was intresting and really fun, it made me want to know more about the different historical people introdused in the series.

This manga takes months for each chapter because Hirano-san and his staff have super high drawing standards, and it shows. Hellsing too took a lot of time to be finished. I eagerly await more. And yes, I bought every volume of the manga when they came out to support the author. The Customer has spoken.

It's a manga about warriors' madness

Oh, it hide the main points well. Nonsensical gags, jokes, mascot characters... It could blind you, just so the non-fans can read it.

But at the core it's about warriors' madness, and obsessions, and final dying wills. Drifters and Ends, at the end of the day, are just different about whether they are willing to draw the world to die along with themselves (Yes/No).
