| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Mm, I decided to give this a try with it military mechanics, timelines, and themes. I assume this takes place in an alternate version of Japan? Strange premise but I hope we find out more about this Tanya girl. Some historical references as well. Not bad for a start. |
 |
| this takes place in an alternative germany, not japan, around the mid 1920 period IIRC, so the weaponry are of this period as well. |
 |
| Yes it finally getting translated... pretty neat start so far |

I've only read the translated part (prologue and 1st chapter), but it seems that weaponry is about WW2 level: lots of aircraft (including flying mages), mobile artillery, tanks... Also, there's magic there. |
| It's closer from the weaponry of the beginning of ww2 (not the end of it) indeed, although it varies depending of the stuff. Everything is between 1918-13939 compared to our world, I 'd say. IIRC in tha alternative world the year is around 1924-1926 that sounds logical. Notice than in this alternative world, the first world war hasn't happened in 14-18. There were lots of war before, just like in our world of course, but no world-wide war yet. And of course, just like in our world, not every country is as advanced in weaponry on everything either. Some stuff are clearly first world war-like imo. the magic is a technology in there. It require the user to be able to use it (which most peoples aren't) but withotu that technology/required tools, peoples can't use magic. The war you see in the first chapter is around the Denmark/Germany frontier. |

| Great First Chapter, i'm really liking this so far. I like the mc and more specifically other peoples impressions of the mc (The dude who was really scared of her). I think i'll really enjoy this novel, especially if some tactics get involved. when/if the mc get to command her own unit. |
| Chapter 2 was released, seems like the higher beings will be making people their cosmic plaything. |
 |
| chapter 3 completely is touhou parody. loli checked. shooting checked. flying checked. miko checked. |

| Oh my god i had such a good time reading this. I had plenty of laughs and i loved everything about this volume. The debates were fun and engaging. The various perspectives on the topic at hand and how misunderstandings were taking place. Damn this was just a great time. I was supposed to work early next morning but i stayed up all night just to finish this after i started reading. |
 |
| Really enjoyed this - elaborates on so much more compared the anime and manga, including the thoughts of other characters besides Tanya. The 1st chapter of Volume 2 has now just been translated so looking forward to more. |

| Chapter 1: I greatly enjoyed this chapter. This novel is shaping up to be everything I wanted and more. I'm consistently impressed with the attention to detail. The amount of effort given to describe a single award was amazing. The events in this novel are heavily inspired by historical events, and Carlo Zen has shown he has a solid understanding of those events, why they happened, and the outcomes of them. I greatly enjoyed the footnotes that are included in the Yen Press addition, and I would actually like more because I would like to learn more about history. It is clear the Empire is a fiction Imperial Germany, with the Prussian Officer Corps as one of its greatest assets. I have endless questions concerning this world and the tactics involved, and I feel confident this series will do a good job in sating that desire. |
