Sengoku Strays


Type: Manga
Status: Ongoing

Premise: Kusanagi is a high school student who loves kendo, she is the best in the school even though she is only a freshman, good thing to because on her way home from school one day she picks up an antique katana that fell out of a passing car and was hit by a delivery truck. When she woke up in the sengoku era she was rather confused as you may imagine but now she must learn to survive in a country in the middle of a revolution and make herself useful until she can figure out how or if she can get back home.

Thoughts: The plot is kind of cliche I understand but it is still a rather nice manga, it is easy to read and has good action scenes and an interesting mix of characters so I rather enjoyed it.

Prose: Good action, interesting characters, with enough history to it to make it believable (minus the time travel of course). 

Cons: The plot is rather standard fare with no real unexpected twists, it is more real life historical adventure with a single inexplicable event so it end up being a little bland.

-Notes: It is a rather new manga and as such it could wait until a few more chapters are released befor you make the effort to start it.

8/10          (This all could be a rather large concussion but MEH.....)
