The story is whole Japan as a country teleports into a fantasy world where magic exists, and Japan is involved in conflicts and amities. It's not a novel idea that people and battleships or something teleport into another world like movie "sengoku jieitai", but a whole country might be novel. The art is not good but OK. As I like this type of settings, I'm having fun from this series. The problem is its pace of publishing; too slow and too irregular. --- stats as of 2023.08.28 Score: 6.731 (scored by 928 users) Ranked: #12284 Popularity: #5673 Members: 3,200 Favorites: 35 |

| @Nero_Moonlight On the left side of the anime page.. under "Statistics" Overall I'm enjoying it. It's a power fantasy of contemporary wargaming where we see people with the moral high ground to use modern weapons against primitive people. I do hope that media like this doesn't aggrandize fighting technologically unfair "wars" like what the British empire or the Japanese empire did in history. Also, it might be interesting to see asymmetric warfare being portrayed: It only takes one misstep or rogue associate to divert some weapons and information, like a truck of rifles, artillery shells, or god forbid AT and MANPADs. Adversaries can then wage a brutal, prolonged unconventional warfare that can buy time as well as act as an opportunity itself for other nations to approach technology parity with this fictional Japan. Further, see recent history of the War in Afghanistan, Ukraine, and in Gaza: Tunnels level the playing field against technologically and logistically oppressive foes, as no modern military system can efficiently detect or dismantle tunnels as fast as new ones can be constructed. |
| This manga is not very well written at all, but I have to keep reading it because of how bat shit insane it is. So it has that going for it. |
| This manga is absolute slop, and that's something that's absolutely apparent from the first chapter. I don't want to write an essay about this, so I'll just list some points off the top of my head: - It completely ignores one of the most interesting aspects of the story, which would be dealing with the chaos inside the country after being cut off from the rest of the world. - It doesn't address things like the new location affecting the weather or having longer or shorter days, years, or different seasons. - It is never explained why every Japanese person hears the natives as if they're speaking Japanese and vice versa. The author just didn't want to deal with language barriers. - Conveniently, everyone else in that world seems to understand each other as well. - There are no main characters from Japan's side other than generic diplomats all wearing suits and glasses, and even more generic soldiers. All of them represent the Japanese government's ideal to an unnatural degree, like the the military being worried all the time about causing unnecessary damage and making sad faces when they are forced to destroy enemy forces. - The foreign countries are a lazy mishmash of Earth's countries from different eras, living in a bizarre balance where they are all aware of and in contact with each another, but on completely different technological levels. Conveniently, this balance seems to break down just as Japan enters the scene. - There's even a country which is exactly like feudal Japan, which is one of the hallmarks of lazy isekai slop. - There's an unexplainable disinterest from every country in that world in the fact that a new civilization just popped into existence. They just refer to them casually as "the newcomers" and are content with some vague rumors about them. - There's an unexplainable disinterest in magic from the Japanese. The understanding of magic and the fusion of magic with modern technology would be one of their priorities, but nothing is mentioned about it. - Enough time passes that Japan has already established commercial routes with their trade partners and built infrastructure like bridges and railroads overseas, and their imperialist neighbor is STILL oblivious to Japan's technology. Even after losing several battles against Japan, they keep disregarding them as barbarians, even though they know they are a teleported nation from unknown origins. It's just absurd. - Even the Atlanteans with their early 20th century technology, who are said to have the best intelligence gathering, know nothing about Japan. At the same time, we're told that foreigners can visit the country, buy translated books showing Japanese technology and even enroll in Japanese universities. - The imperialistic nation that Japan decides to crush militarily, even though it resembles Napoleonic France stylistically, happens to be located geographically in what would be China. I doubt that was a coincidence. - Even the manga artist seems to give up at some points, with low quality pages and characters making zany JoJo poses during what should be serious political discussions. Honestly, I could go on, but what would be the point? This is one of the laziest manga I've ever bothered to speedread through. On that note, I should point out that I didn't just speedread it because I had no respect for the story, but also because the non native English translation was hurting my brain. |
