one slice closer to tragedy

i was confused as to why i had this in my library but after seeing touri again is when i remember this gem, the new cover art did not help kek

In a way, I like this over Youjo Senki. Touri has a reason to become a jaded pragmatist. The world she lives in is just that vile.
Tanya was an ass before being sent to a comparatively less dangerous scenario. Say what you want about Being X, he makes Tanya's world challenging but manageable. Touri has to make do with whatever God-forsaken hand she's dealt at any moment.

Same bro. Tanya is OP, Touri is a common medic, creative indeed but common.

I still find it funny that the reincarnation is so prominently featured in the title, yet plays 0 role in the story.
Like, you could cut that part and nothing changes, neither the fact that allegedly touri was a dude in her past life nor that she even had one. War Trauma overrides all

Youjou Senki romanticizes war in a certain way, while critiquing it in others. It does take a more modern approach to war and has Tanya try and introduce those lessons earlier than they would have naturally developed. But those gods end up interfering which throws the MC off.
Touri's situation is much darker because we are seeing the 10 years of bloody conflict between two nations who have deep hatred of each other. There is a positive feedback loop at play escalating the conflict. The enemy nation just opted to escalate to quickly gain a bunch of territory and shamed the previous general as being a cowered (so he seppuku'd himself).
The thing I expect to happen is that the slaughter of civilians will just piss off the MC's people who will not want to call the war to end. This is tragically something that has historically happened multiple time.
I do not know which direction the author plans to take it, there's a few routes.
One is the occupied areas become full of partisans sabotaging and assassinating the occupation if the invaders keep succeeding. However, if the invasion stalls out at this fort and a counter attack arrives full of vengeance they might not want to stop until the invader's towns are also slaughtered. Mutual destruction. Maybe other nations intervene? Real Balkans moment.

Sometimes I forgot that MC was just a teen (idk probably a high schooler or still a kid) suddenly reincarnating into a girl that was forced to go to a war (was she forced? It's been a long time since this manga updated)

She was volunteered to paid back her orphanage, yet...

And she's around 12-15 I believe, cmiiw.

 

[eureur]

We are only 22 chapters in btw WTF

Ch 7, page 2: "Even bearing in mind that you are 15, your rate of growth is astounding!" And in fact raw says the same age.

It's the artist who draws her as if she were 11-12.

Being X’s goal is to make Tanya admit that he’s god, and to make her beg for his salvation. It’s his onus to make Tanya suffer without killing her, while giving a way out that involves praying to him (the Elenium Type 95). Obviously, Tanya is doing the damnest to not only not do that, but to thrive so that she can shove a middle finger up his.

Touri’s got none of that golden thread. She has been in the pits since day one. She has never known better. She probation won’t see anything remotely resembling better anytime soon.

Death flags? This a fuckin red flags parade

It's like the labor day in here

I see, so she's 15

For the artist one, I think its just their style or intentional.
I mean a teenager, still in a growth spurt, volunteered to become a soldier, where nutritional meal isn't priority...

Same bro. Tanya is OP, Touri is a common medic, creative indeed but common.

The perspective of an elite ACE vs the perspective of a regular footman

Another difference is that, for the most part, Youjo Senki treats deaths a bit differently. If you notice, Tanya has never experienced major casualties. All of her close confidants and second-in-commands are all alive. Any death around her are either nameless mooks (even within her own unit), distant allies, or just straight up enemies. Every time any one of them is close to death, they somehow survive it.

This manga introduces you to characters and makes them interact with Touri JUST long enough for them to plant some seed of relationship/security and then puts their heads on gunpoint. You dont know when they will pull the trigger, but they WILL pull the trigger.

If anything, Groundless is a closer reading experience.

Man… after finishing the novel I came here, but it’s not fully there yet. Though it’s nice to see how everyone is portrayed here . Can’t wait for the “flag” and how everyone react .

You will see how she grows later… it’s quite interesting

I see what you did there lol

Spoil me daddy 👀👀

 

[AlvoradaGD]

Touri Quickly got a grim resemblance to hospital head gale...

 

[yellowyoshispeed]

People should play “choose a character and see if they live till the end!” (Did add a spoiler but honestly, I want people to find out ).

For those who read the full WN (and finished LN or are on it. If someone taps for curiosity, I will try to make it so it doesn’t spoil a ton)
The "Arunoma's a liar" scene hit me the hardest during you know who’s death. I can’t wait for people to get to that part. Oh and the flag also.

 

[yellowyoshispeed]

Spoil me daddy 👀👀

Title.

 

[yellowyoshispeed]

I know people love to compare YS with this to see which side is more messed up (and makes sense as the first few chapters of the WN was actually based off of it, until the author realized that it was getting popular, thus went and locked in, doing research and stuff lol). So I wanted to partake! This is me comparing the two, (this part will be including the WN story of this manga and YS, thus the spoiler)

Spoiler

(Note: I have read the WN of YS, but not the LN as it is not finished. I know there are some emotional anchors added in the LN, but I have not read it, it has not finished, thus I cannot compare it.)

For how screwed up the MC is, yes touri did execute the wounded and killed the begging nurse… but let’s be fair… YS obviously has the more messed up protagonist as… uh… gassing your own guys is something… and killing your own field marshals.

How death is portrayed in both is where Battle Field gets the point, as death is illustrated to be more intimate in battlefield, so you can REALLY feel each death (it hits you damn hard). YS feels more of a statistic number. Furthermore, YS just hands off the grief to the supporting cast.

Death of close ones… this one is going to battlefield. YS in the WN didn’t really have anyone close who died. Maybe a few that were semi close, like Zettor, but not enough to really impact the character. And uh. Touri. To those who have read the story. I do not think I need to explain.

Character development wise, I need to give it to battlefield. YS did not change. During and after the war, she felt the same. Touri? Yeah. She was broken down multiple times and you were able to see how she grew each time with the people around her (then broken down again because those people died).

Narrative framing wise. I need to give it to YS. The atrocities were portrayed as black comedy and lionizes the perpetrators. Battlefield, on the other hand, condemned the war (even their own side).

War AND atrocities, this is where I cannot decide. On one hand, YS the protagonist literally designs the atrocities as a damn doctrine, while in battlefield the world just kills the civilians at a much larger scale. Though tbf, these don’t really heavily impact the Mc’s (other then the fact the Touri’s hometown burnt down and etc.)

Anyhow, that was my part at least. People may disagree as WN and LN aren’t the exact same for YS, to that I say fair, but hey. This is just an opinion, not a fact, therefore it is debatable. And these posts are meant to be debated upon. I’ve most likely made typos and some minor errors here and there as it is damn late and I am tired, it’s been a little (not a ton of time, but I cannot retain 100% of both stories), but oh well.



Thank you for reading, and for those who did not tap on the spoiler, I can assure you that this is a great written story.
