Synopsis

Intrigued by the severe lack of faith a particular salaryman displayed as he drew his last breath, a godlike presence known only as "Being X" reincarnates him into a magical yet war-torn world to test his mettle. Under these new circumstances, Being X believes that, should this man succumb to relentless suffering, he will call upon the heavens for assistance.

Starting life again as a young girl named Tanya Degurechaff, the salaryman quickly utilizes his past experiences and volunteers to the military of his country, the Empire. Wielding tremendous potential despite being a child, Tanya's prodigious capacity for strategic and magical warfare allows her to quickly ascend the ranks and consistently lead her nation to miraculous victories in the ongoing war. Even so, she does all of this for one purpose: to live in the backlines far from the warzone, effectively defying Being X's objectives.

However, as Tanya strives to escape Being X's influence, she soon comes to know that even with her genius, there are situations that a human simply cannot overcome without divine intervention.

[Saga of Tanya the Evil] is a very unusual isekai. Summarizing it is difficult, but my attempt is as follows. 'Saga of Tanya the Evil is the story of an HR manager. A libertarian psychopath with a near religious faith in the Free ...

I enjoyed Youjo Senki's LN series, but the manga is just as good. What did the LN do really well in? It depicted a lot more of Tanya's monologuing which is lost in the manga, and there's also a lot more focus on Zettour, Rudersdorf, and a lot of different military personnel to really figure out why some military operation happened.
However, honestly, other than the monologuing, I really did not care much for the worldbuilding. The manga focuses more on the details of battles, the characters close to Tanya, and dialogue. The manga essentially focuses on the good parts of the novel, while cutting ...

Do you miss "Fullmetal Alchemist"? If so, I recommend giving "Youjo Senki" a try. Why do I say this? Keep on reading.

Both series' have a very similar vibe where the setting of the story is loosely based off history, and takes place during a time of devastating war.

"Youjo Senki" is more like a documentary.

"Youjo Senki" is also a isekai ...
