Seriously asking if any of the western ships didn't arrive in Japan, then how did the Japan here looks so much like the Japan now.. if there's no western ships how did the Japs got guns and etc, since firearms came from outside Japan and got imported to Japan, and Oda Nobunaga would not get his gun from the dutch or portuguese and possibly lose against Takeda in Nagashino battle because of that Toyotomi Hideyoshi will not unify Japan. And since they said they became isolated because the sea changed they should have less technological advancement than the current one. The reason Japan could catch up with the rest of the world was because Perry (America) forced the Japs to open up border and import a lot of knowledge and once Japs catch up with the rest of the world they use it to wage war with the surrounding nations to acquire resources to boost the Japs growth in the late 19th and early 20th century.

The world building are good but it didn't make sense if they make the sea couldn't be crossed, they would still have medieval era technology if it did. The solution of this would be that maybe there are other people that are reincarnated here from modern Japan long before the MC born. But well it's fiction.. I will enjoy it since for now the story and the art are good and it's free too (Can't complain about it).

Anyway as always thanks for the chapter, and thank you for bringing it here.

I mean it's not explained yet, or maybe the author has it on it's notes and might add why, or what are guns in like tankobon extra or smth, till now it's pretty solid to be fair. Like them inventing guns after the crash is super plausible, like it was born out of a necessity for survival.
For example the creation of aqueducts, Persians/Romans and Aztecs engineered a way to transport water in a similar fashion, without ever interacting, so maybe now that Pochi the neighbor's dog has fangs the size of a mayo bottle, spits fire and arrows don't work on him anymore, you might need too think about getting a bit more of firepower tbh, I mean people from the past were hella smart

Its technically and Isekai because:
1 That little boy don't know nothing about that world (and us reading a lot of mangas we are taking by surprised a LOT of times by things happening in this manga beside being us experts in fantasy stories)
2 He die and go to another earth with a different history and system logic

well, if we are talking about "genre", i don't think it is. it's still japan, on earth, but in a different timeline. it's similar to inuyasha, without a well.

Yana is telling history from her perspective. Maybe she doesn't know the history of the Japanese Alliance cities beyond "they eventually made contact with the countryside".

It could be that the cities, esp if they were located near ports, had contact with other countries. As such, the cities didn't do expeditions into the countryside as quickly as expected as they had alternative food sources through trade and seafood.

The depth is pretty great too. Lots to enjoy here!

guess at that point, there were more interaction with the mainlands than being approached from the east by gunboats

Thanks for the scanlation!

If the cities were cutoff from the countryside then how did they procure enough food to a feed a city, enough wood to warm a city, building housing, and run the forges? A city is a starving beast that is so dependent on the countryside that it'll die in short order if cut off.

Cities - prior to the Industrial Revolution - had massively smaller populations compared to today. London didn't break 50k until about 1500 AD, and it didn't hit 1 million until 1811 AD. This is a city that Julius Caesar could've visited, by the way, and one of the largest in Europe. It's likely that the cities in this universe are far smaller in population due to the constraints of finding enough food for their populations. Also, the cities were probably mixed-zoning with loads of farmland in and around them where they'd be easier to protect.

I know it has a novel, where can I find the translation for the novel?

Historically, cities never had large populations. It took London until the 1500s to crack 50k people, and that city was founded by the Romans in the first century AD. It's very possible for coastal cities to meet their caloric intake needs with just a modest amount of farmland in the city supplemented by pigs and fish. Pigs, in particular, are valuable because they can and will eat anything even vaguely edible, including human waste, and turn it into calories. You'd have to dedicate more of the city space to rearing pigs and possibly chickens, since the latter can also live off of insects. With very calorie dense (per acre) crops like rice, it's possible to make up the remaining calories the average citizen needs. Japan notoriously has very little land for farming, and small rice paddies were able to produce surplus rice.

As for the resource scarcity, bamboo would make up a lot of the shortfall. Bamboo grows INCREDIBLY quickly since it is a relative of grass. Bamboo shoots are also edible, but I doubt a society in desperate need of building resources would waste valuable bamboo. People in that world are capable of using magic, so they could very well be using it to cook with as well. Considering dense populations lower magicule density, they'd probably only be able to rely on that in the outskirts of the city while the urbanized centers would require wood or coal or lignite. Populations would be far more limited in that world than our own since cities would be hard limited by resource scarcity, but they would still be able to grow to decent sizes.
