    The Saga of Tanya the Evil - Vol. 18 Ch. 51 - The Intervention Which Was Too Late II

    @dsuke I'm really not sure what you're misunderstanding here. I'm not saying they didn't exist at all, I've repeatedly said they were. I'm saying that precisely because they weren't used in this kind of gigantic decisive way and yet they did work all the way to the end of WW1 that it's not a...

    The Saga of Tanya the Evil - Vol. 18 Ch. 51 - The Intervention Which Was Too Late II

    Didn't they though? I'd have to review and re-read this and vol3, but I was fairly certain that is indeed what happened, they dug those tunnels under their own lines or at least No Man's land, then retreated just a little bit and firmed up behind them while leaving a complete vacuum in the Low...

    The Saga of Tanya the Evil - Vol. 18 Ch. 51 - The Intervention Which Was Too Late II

    @dsuke But from your own link: Ie., it actually worked. The discussion here was about whether a mining operation this massive under the Empire's own lines which they then lured the Francois over should realistically have been discovered at this stage of the war. I'm arguing that nothing of that...

    The Saga of Tanya the Evil - Vol. 18 Ch. 51 - The Intervention Which Was Too Late II

    I wouldn't go that far. The LN is quite different from the WN, but the manga is pretty faithful to, I dunno, the "bones" of the LN. It's just adding detail, character interactions, and so on. I don't see any major divergences to the overall arc of the war, mostly just improvements and fixing a...

    The Saga of Tanya the Evil - Vol. 18 Ch. 51 - The Intervention Which Was Too Late II

    @3413413241234 Yeah, in fact one of the things that makes this series so interesting compared to the norm is that an absolute core theme is that nobody in modern war, no matter how good, no matter how smart or individually powerful, can surmount an overwhelming logistical disadvantage through...

    The Saga of Tanya the Evil - Vol. 18 Ch. 51 - The Intervention Which Was Too Late II

    When did anyone do anything like that in World War I or II Narf? A lot of previous procedures and wisdom of war was rendered utterly obsolete in the Industrial Age, WW1 in particular was so horrible in part because they started off trying to use old infantry wave tactics against the innovation...

    The Saga of Tanya the Evil - Vol. 18 Ch. 51 - The Intervention Which Was Too Late II

    @Karakuri1812 It's not a spoiler to write first of all that "we don't entirely know". Like a number of interesting series actually, Youjo Senki has been through three different stages. It started as a small Web Novel, and like other WNs or Web Comics that sort of ended up being a 'first...

    The Saga of Tanya the Evil - Vol. 18 Ch. 51 - The Intervention Which Was Too Late II

    Granted that it's hard to say because this series is off the rails at this point from our WWs, they've got an odd mix of technology and tactics from both WW1 and WW2 (both those tanks are WW2) because things are going a different way due to the presence of magic and Tanya leaking knowledge from...

    The Saga of Tanya the Evil - Vol. 18 Ch. 51 - The Intervention Which Was Too Late II

    So awesome. Unfortunately this is the Empire's finest hour, but damn if it isn't incredibly fine (and wonderfully drawn and fleshed out by Toujou Chika sensei). What an operation and well laid out too under the circumstances, the advancement in thinking and strategy is great and feels consistent...

    Sousou no Frieren - Vol. 3 Ch. 20 - Master's Technique

    Awesome, brutal and to the point. I like how the fights aren't dragged out for drama for once, and also highlight the alien nature of the demons. Agreed, it's like in a game where you're high level and revisit a starting area and everything is just trash, even if you can one shot it all it's...

    Even If the World Is Over It's Fun to Live - Vol. 1 Ch. 6 - There, Where Hope Is

    ... ..... I hope next chapter has them actually becoming good friends right off. Well, it is post-apoc, not sure you can characterize SoL though so much as just played straight as a journey. It did have her almost die repeatedly and have that monster getting ripped apart and such, there is that...

    Creepy Cat - Vol. 3 Ch. 251 - Centipede Cat

    So many crawly, fluffy little legs, can just imagine him bursting out of the skull of a fallen cthulhuian god and skittering up onto your pillow to curl up with you! Cute!

    Legend of the Galactic Heroes (FUJISAKI Ryu)

    An awesome modern adaption of one of the true great space epics. I doubt we'll ever see something like the original anime tried ever again, too ambitious for modern times. But this manga is a good fallback. Hope it gets picked back up at some point!

    Sheesh this thread is so judgemental about a completely innocent and perfectly normal art collector!

    Witch Hat Atelier - Vol. 7 Ch. 40.6 - Special Edition Concept Art Artbook

    Beautiful stuff. In terms of attention to detail and a real living quality it makes me think of Dungeon Meshi too, obviously they're very different styles but both artists think deeply about the varied human form and expressions. The characters are incredibly emotive, and the worlds feel alive...
