Pest ga Aketara Asobimashou! ~Chuusei Europa Sekai to Gendai Bunmei Slow Life~ - Ch. 1 - Baths

[758627]

It's boring. It's pretty much the same native reactions to modern techs as every other isekai with info dump about medieval Europe on top. The info dump is quite neat but feel tedious at time, should work as something for history class if you minimize the modern tech masturbation. Also, spreading another plague how ever mild Xiflu ends up being on top of the already overkill Black Plague? Really?
And the "witch"'s face remind me of a really shitty isekai.

What a weird premise but I'm down with it~ I do appreciate the author's dedication to doing their research. Even the "no shoes"-sign in Ema's house is p much written in the "Early New High German" that was establishing itself around that time.

You know, the clothes and architecture are fine, but the black plague didn't actually happen until around the 16th century, which was the 1500s. At least this isn't set in the Victorian era and claiming to be the middle ages like every other isekai is. Other than my tiny nitpick, this seems super promising!

Maybe you're mistaking it with another pandemic? The "Black Death" refers to a specific pandemic occurrence of the bubonic plague which did happen between 1346 and 1353, sweeping across Europe. That's the most basic part of the premise, would be p bad if they got that wrong xD

Damn girl you just brought a pandemic into somewhere with another pandemic

That girl just bring covid to the past, we are doomed.

Why do you guys assume that she brought covid to the past? At no point it was ever mentioned that she's infected with anything.

its peak...

My money is on her having a desk with a Time Machine so she can just go and take whatever junk she wants from any timeline.

what is this? doraemon????

but fr i have so many logistical questions on how any of that "modern" tech works in that setting lol

also for some reason, the nakedness and the nippleless boobs really threw me off

Wrong. The bubonic plague arrived in waves over the centuries and one of the most well known waves happened when the manga is set.

If she stays around long enough in that mill I got some bad news for her...

 

[Flame-2-Haze]

Yuri and slow life. Rare combo genres these days.

 

[WindMil]

Looks fun! i also really enjoyed reading all that info towards the end!

 

[FreezeBlue]

Yuri manga with historical education?
Now I'm hitting it 👍

 

[EggsNRice]

Yuri that transcends time and space

 

[Madologist]

Let's just not mind the stone age man tent saunaing while eating grilled mammoth.

People could be infected with diseases without showing any symptoms and they could spread diseases. Also pathogens can stay on objects for a while.

Also the modern pathogens can be dangerous, since they have gone through many mutations for the resistance arm race, especially against antibiotics. People in the past would not have the immunity against them. We have real life examples, like when European colonizers brought smallpox to America.

The fact the medieval girl can read is super dumb for the time period supposedly portrayed.

 

[Colonel-Picquart]

Beyond questions (like where did Ema get her goddamn copper to make the dynamo and voltage converters to power her electric mill)
This seems to have a decent understanding of the middle ages Rachel is shown to be literate in our sense of the word, that she can read the vernacular, which makes sense since she was a city dwelling baker's daughter, the economic impact of the Black Death looks like it'll be touched upon. Some HRE specific trends might get notice too like the importance of towns and the Golden Bull of 1356, though high politics is unlikely.
The casual attitude towards Ema as a so-called witch also matches attitudes of the period since the inquisition and clergy were more chill than the latter period sometimes sentencing people to penance and prison rather than pyre, (or hanging as it would have been then since witchcraft is not yet heresy).

Then do you guys also complain on every single time travel manga about all the possible pathogens they could be bringing to the past? Maybe the girl in sengoku komachi is infected with a dozen viruses she's immune to thanks to vaccination but will kill all of sengoku era japan, or maybe every isekai protagonist could be bringing unknown diseases to their fantasy world.

It's just incredibly dumb to worry about the MC bringing covid with her when none of that was mentioned or even hinted.

Because the original posts are mostly just a joke and not serious. It just feels (morbidly) funny to have someone coming from a pandemic to another place with a different pandemic.

When you quoted us for explanation, it just becomes dumb.

That is sexy ass witch ever

 

[Vmpslushie]

Yuri and historical trivia. My two favorite things!

Seeing people community-striking his post, I instead felt like "hang on, surely he is basing his claim on something" and looked it up, with specific keywords for 1500. There seems to be tons of sources mentioning a second wave at the 1500, including wikipedia (well, that doesn't specifically say 1500, and more like 1300 up to 1667) that has a whole long list of timespans where it popped up again. Wikipedia also mentions the plague affecting "the islamic world", starting at 1500.

So either he is talking about those accounts of a second wave in europe, or, surprise surprise, he might not be european earth-prime'ean and instead of talking about our world (earth prime) is talking about "the islamic world".
