Yuji Shiozaki - Ikki Tousen / Battle Vixens Manga

In Japan’s Kanto region, rival high schools wage all-out turf wars—not with gangs or weapons, but with students who carry the reincarnated spirits of ancient warriors. These fighters, marked by sacred magatama, inherit both the power and fate of their historical counterparts from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Enter Hakufu Sonsaku, a cheerful but reckless transfer student whose destiny mirrors that of Sun Ce, one of the era’s most formidable warlords. Hakufu dreams of becoming a great fighter, but her overwhelming strength and impulsive nature drag her into bloody conflicts between schools, ambitious leaders, and enemies who recognize the legendary power sealed within her.

As Hakufu rises through the ranks, she discovers that the magatama do more than grant strength—they bind each fighter to a predetermined death. To break free, Hakufu and her allies must confront rival schools, ancient grudges, and the tragic cycles of violence that have followed them for centuries.

Ikki Tousen blends martial arts action, supernatural reincarnation lore, fanservice, and high-stakes rivalries, creating a bombastic, over-the-top battle series that became a defining title of early 2000s action-ecchi manga.

Ikki Tousen’s is one of the earliest and most influential “battle school ecchi” manga. Inspired multiple anime seasons, OVAs, games, and spinoffs. Reinforced the trend of adapting classical literature into modern action series.
