Webcomic / The Senkari

Being immortal is hard enough. But being immortal and having to go to high school in the 21st century? Join three immortals in their present — and past — adventures.

The Senkari is a webcomic following the adventures of two immortals from Another Dimension who have decided to gain a modern education, their own world apparently being still in the a Medieval Stasis and have enrolled in High School. 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.

Since most of the Protagonists are female expect Action Girls in authentic early-mediaeval armor. The comic itself tends to pendulum between Slice of Life and Fantasy depending on where, and just as importantly when, a given chapter is set.
