You know, it's really obvious the bias and framing the english release put on this series when they translated "Youjo Senki" as "The Saga of Tanya the Evil".
Ah yes, I wonder however they could get that impression about the nazi-coded war criminal, truly a mystery.

You know, this series made me think about how few manga (none I've read) bring up the issue of menstruation, as if it doesn't exist. Que fuck, Japan?
I actually read a manga recently, it was none other than nisioisin who brought it up, and with a magical girl character at that! There was several comments about how talking about it is frowned upon in the conversation, so maybe that's why.

Apparently there's a tradition of giving red rice to the girl the day after. That also was brought up in the conversation...

Anyone who is trying to read this Manga in English do yourself a service and read official translation. The first few chapters I read were so badly translated I thought about dropping this manga, even if later translations become better I still wouldn't recommend risking it.
