quite interesting to see the perspective of people that haven't been exposed to constant combat for several months/years, hopefully their reality check won't be too brutal but knowing this manga they are in for it bad...
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.
