TS Eiseihei-san no Senjou Nikki

[Lilabun]

Definitely not for the faint of heart

 

[peetersman]

this fucking manga makes me want to kill myself, especially all the shit that happened in just two chapters being 19-20... they killed alot of people that we loved... and from the webnovel....... even worse.... This hurts

 

[peetersman]

Thanks. I'll avoid this one then.

heh, ok

(if your want to read ahead, as of writing, the latest manga ch.20 is Chapter 23 of the LV)

right as someone who read (most of the LN) ahead
It DOES get WAYYYY worse brutality-wise, like if your boardering on quitting because of the triggers, you're not finishing
Like Arc One (ch.1-19) is TAME to what is going to happen next

The story, after arc one(from this point on) starts going FAST
Arcs 2, 3, and 4 I personally found really good.
But also personally, I dropped it at arc 6

Spoiler: because

I mostly didn't really like the new characters
But also the pacing just fell, lost its map in the snow, and took one step, slipped, and broke its hip
with a helping of Mary Sue and Plot contrivance
I did hear that the next arc(7) was also really BAD, but it does pick back up at arc 8 before dropping off again

Now, the massive magic circle in the room, Youjo Senki (aka Tanya the Evil), it does have A LOT of similar elements
But the way I understand it is
Youjo Senki is WW1.5, with the protagonist as a high-functioning sociopath
With the"peak" of Youjo Senki magic is, basically being human-sized aircraft
and
TS Eiseihei-san no Senjou Nikki is WW0.5 with the protagonist having a dual personality.
With the"peak" of TS Eiseihei-san no Senjou Nikki magic is the "aces." Basically, people have counterplay to rifles

What do I mean by WW 0.5? Guns are pretty new in TS Eiseihei-san no Senjou Nikki; there is very limited counterplay, there isn't like tanks or aircraft
The only thing bullets can't kill are aces and dirt

Spoiler: Spoilers about the aces

The sword demon can block bullets
The thunder spear can block bullets
The magic princess can shell up to about a kilometer away
(For comparison, the "avg" mage can only shell about 350 meters)

I have to say, it has been a while since i last found a manga to be looking forward to. These emotional feelings from reading this manga make me realize im still a human being

 

[Begeth]

peak need time

 

[NEN_POL]

Idk if translate is slow or the original is slow, but man i want more, give me more T-T this shit is so good

 

[NEN_POL]

Awww im glad they can rest now, hope it would stay like this for quite longer, i want mc to rest

 

[ChaosHead90]

Is there a reason why it needs to be a guy turn into girl?

 

[Gaymerman]

Is there a reason why it needs to be a guy turn into girl?

nope. no reason for it to be an isekai so far either.

 

[Smelt]

This is literally manga theme I've been looking for.

Have you found anymore like this? The grim war setting?

 

[PD2]

Guys dont listen to the Youjo senki bootlickers. I almost didnt read it cause of them fucks.

This story actually pretty solid and way more focused on characters and POV of what actually being in a war feels like, instead of a stupidly overpowered MC from Youjo Senki.

Despite having fantasy elements in it, the tragedy almost feels too damn grounded in reality at times for this one.

Bootlickers cant see more than what they gobble up without thinking.

 

[Senko112]

I hate how depressing everything is☝️😭

After chap 19 this has lost all flair. This was a very realistic manga until chap 19. You see some dum twat of anime danger slut who is 15 btw made a grand plan of advancing an army big enough that could enemy Frontline's 3 defense line,thought it would be a smart idea to attack with magical bombardment beforehand because it is like alerting before an attack.

I can't even start on how dumb this is. Any guy that has even played a strategy game knows why this won't work. But let me explain it in real life terms.

Magical bombardment is artillery equivalent. What is artillery,takedown of important keypoints but more importantly suppressive fire. Suppressive fire is a double meaning word,first it's a firing that suppresses at the same time it suppresses firing from the target. Anyone with one day of war experience would use scout tower. Whose whole job is it to inform enemy flanks.If a scout does not report back consider that flank compromised.

Second is how the march was shown in chap 18.2.That kind of march worked like in 1200s it did not even work at later medieval times with ballistas and trebuchets. I think you already understand but let me elaborate,who does bandit go to rob,a file siege where soldiers are posted in line or a caravan that goes in a straight line.

The army in chap 19 would be detected by a scout kilometers ahead,would be bombardment to scattering because it literally is a line of targets,you cannot miss. As artillery works by radius and not angle.A straight line across an arc is much harder to hit than a line across the radius. That's why trenches were made in such a way in the first place.

Sneak attacks generally work in small guriella team which target the supply line. Which oh saga of Tanya did,didn't they? Many people was calling this much more realistic than Tanya, lol.This sht is as realistic as a unicorn.

When 15 year old skank was shown as a competent commander I already knew the story was going to go downhill so fast that this isn't even a generic "war never changes".This is just a attention seeking boohoo story written by a guy who had never seen the dust of a Frontline,sitting on his ass writing isekais

What disgusts me is both the readers and the author of this sht thinks they are holier than thou because this is rEaLiStIC. Jump on a puddle and calm yourselves down. This ain't better writing than a typical harem isekai. The fan service is just different.

 

[GhostX64]

Novel reader here to point out things the manga doesn't explain, or things that you might have missed. Some will sound very stupid but it is what is is

Medics do not have weapons because healing magic is rare.

Spoiler: Why

Before guns were invented some genius decided to make healers into cavalry and failed so horribly that they banned all future medics from arming themselves in fear of losing valuable healers.

MC has not been trained before because she is a volunteer and a medic. Medics stay in the back lines and do not go to the front lines, however because Garback needed a medic MC got sent to the front lines without any prior training until she is transfered into their platoon.

Medics that hasn't seen combat taught MC shield which is why when she utilized it for real combat, it was faulty and and wrong, Garback only taught her afterwards because he had no prior knowledge that she knew how to use shield.

The pro FPS player part becomes relevant way later in the story, where she becomes a little psychotic.

Spoiler: Maniac

After a lot of time she is no longer a medic and has access to guns, at that point she is an ace that is well known for being a "lucky carry" and laughing maniacally while killing people with scary precision. Did I mention she hear voices telling her to kill?

So it becomes a PTSD Tanya Saga without the god killing part, so dollar store Tanya?

I don’t think this story is really about realism or what nots, it’s just about “damn, war is brutal” rather than anything. I agree that the pacing and events makes it seem absurd or even cringe in some ways, but it really isn’t about the overall war and strategies, it’s about the experiences of someone who gets caught up in war.
In the novel, the author admits the first arcs was kinda just writing down whatever comes to mind, and it shows. I think the later arcs are pretty interesting though, but even then, it certainly feels a bit mismanaged. Still doesn’t change the fact it’s a brutal but interesting story that depicts a side of war many mangas of “Overpowered idiots with ‘morals’” gloss over.

And there isnt any character as OP as in Youji Senkii

Nah, I first thought that officer (Sylph btw) will make the WN worse, I thought she will be a Mary Sue, but surprising she is a very complex and well-written character, not annoying at all. She is a few year older than Touri btw.
This series arent really about strategy and tactic tbh, I think it's just plot devices. The author isnt a military nerd, and he knew it, so he dont really explain the tactic, but his shill for "multiple point breakthrough" really annoy me, I just wish he dont mention is as often. The WN has a pass because he can choose what to decipt, but in manga the artist obviously didnt do much research about the WN and military.

Chapter 23 when?

Its precisely because of superiority complex people like you that the author got away with such sloppy writing. "many mangas of " OP idiots with "morals" " gloss over." Brother this manga is just misery porn. There are tons of misery porn out there with different flavours.This isn't doing anything unique nor is it doing anything good. I have already said this, this isn't a bad story, but if you think this is better than run of the mill isekai than thats just your superiority complex of "reading good materials" showing.

This has generational sloppy writing and I have read through most comment and come to the conclusionthat the author winged the story after chap 19 upto a long time until he abandoned the whole medic thing.The moment he abandoned the medical glair, Switzerland ain't Switzerland anymore. The neutrality is dead and this would become a bargain bin Isekai story where main character ain't op. And reading thru most comments it seems the story picked off actually at that moment which is a very bad sign.

There are tons of good story out there where characters lose their sht.Among them Tokyo Kushu(ghoul) manga only did a good job at it because the potential was tragedy not misery. But even if it did a good job,it would be a false marketing because of the title itself.

Either the story should have ended as she lost her healing or the title should have been former medic's diary.
