Description: |
The Katjvarna Empire and the Kioka Republic are at war, and Katjvarna is currently defending their border against Kioka's attacks. Yatorishino is from an influential family in the empire, and she's taking the high ranking officer exams. To make sure she passes at the top, she's convinced lazy, anti-war, girl-crazy Ikuta to take the exams as well and help her, in exchange for a favor from her family. The first, written test goes as planned, and then they head off on a boat for the next. Unfortunately, the boat sinks, and Yatorishino, Ikuta, some other examinees, and a mysterious, important little girl are stranded behind enemy lines! [tethysdust]
adapted from light novel series of the same name |

LAME-ASS UPDATE!
Not the scanlators fault..
BUT DAMN!
Waited months and this is all I got?!?
*spit*
DAMN IT!!!!!!
This is more the readers fault than it is the publishers. People will flock to whichever media has progressed farther once the story has peaked their interest. While you might be right, it ends up as a big advertisement, I have the feeling people end up spoiling the story and drop all other forms of media because they lose interest when they know the ending. This in turn drops sales which makes the publisher unable to continue publication.
A good example of this: when scanlators suddenly stop translating a manga when an anime surpasses it (doesn't matter if it's the Japanese release or the English translation). I can't count how many groups dropped a manga after 1 season of an anime and the animes rarely cover the full story, just an introductory arc or two.
However, I do believe there are some exceptions to this: Stories which garner a much larger following than the typical anime, manga, LN, etc. are able to keep profitable so as to continue production in more than one medium. One Piece, DanMachi, The Irregular at Magic High, to name a few and I am sure there are a bunch more.
It's usually very rare that an adaptation of a light novel get fully turned into a manga, they seems to be more like publicity stunt to push the LN sales more, somehow.
Oh wow, so basically it'll only adapt the next volume or so? Kind of a shame...
last volume, what? really?
Any idea how far along in the anime is the beginning/end of this arc?
Aww man, I was hoping the manga would adapt material from beyond what was covered in the anime.
Any sources or site?
And is it translated in english?
Would really want to read the LN now!!
thanks, i'm honestly glad i read them. what you had in the spoilers is honestly along the lines of what i expect to happen. So in the end you didn't spoil anything. Now to see if the manga follows the same path or alters it a bit.
I was too spoiled about this when the anime came out, still I advice to not search for LN illustrations too, the spoiler is big shit and it has a whole illustration for itself.
After going back and forth to the tab that held this for about five minutes, I decided to read the spoilers.
I both deeply regret and am slightly glad.
BEWARE ALL YE WHO ARE TEMPTED!
It tore my heart to shreds.
I be one who volunteers to crew this ship of HOPE, though her sails be torn and battered.
*wimper*
I really enjoy Ikta's and Yatori's relationship. So much I wanted to know more so I went ahead and read spoilers of the light novel.
And dammit, I wish I hadn't.
All aboard the Hope ship. It has a few gaping holes in the haul, no captain or crew. But it might make it to the destination, right? RIGHT?
I like Ikta and Yatori as characters too.
Time to write a short fanfic to vent...over and above these two rants XD
The Vietnam war was less about not knowing the terrain then not knowing how to fight a counter intersurgency. It is well known that while the american troops allowed themselves to be infiltrated by vietcong spies by using native cooks, labourers, etc, the koreans and other nations were more careful with things like that and performed much better overall.
IIRC some of the american officers were also out to get promotions and tried to look good by amassing enemy kills, so they did things like send troops to some random hill, fight a battle, then vacate the hill right after. This had no strategic value and encouraged troops to frag officers who they thought were using them as chess pieces to get a promotion.
For the empire's army to not know about mountain sickness would require at least one of the following :
1. The empire must not have fought any mountain battles (that involved ascending/descending) in its entire history, or it would have been taught in training at some point
2. The empire somehow lost that knowledge (by not teaching it to officers, etc).
Did someone else notice that between panels the girls' stockings just disappears,and later come back ?
Wow. They cut out so much of the arc in Chp. 27, I thought the chapter was missing a ton of pages...
I am continually fascinated by Ikta and Yatori's relationship. It's a little beautiful how two people with such completely opposing philosophies and attitudes can have such strong bonds.
