3''[[http://www.the-senkari.com/ The Senkari]]'' is a webcomic following the adventures of two [[{{Immortality}} immortals]] from AnotherDimension who have decided to gain a modern education, their own world apparently being still in the a MedievalStasis and have enrolled in HighSchool. However as the series progresses they find themselves and their new Human friends being pulled into a conspiracy which seems to be organized by their ancient Demonic enemies.

5Since most of the Protagonists are female expect {{Action Girl}}s in authentic [[TheLowMiddleAges early-mediaeval]] armor. The comic itself tends to pendulum between SliceOfLife and Fantasy depending on where, and just as importantly when, a given chapter is set.
