Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing very well. First of all, Happy New Year.
Secondly, I’d like to talk about several things that have happened and that we hadn’t mentioned until now.
About 1–2 months ago, the cloud service where I, Danns, stored all of my work files —manga, novels, and general video or image editing for a store— deleted all of my data. At first, I thought I had been hacked or that something serious had happened, so I contacted support. Unfortunately, the support for this cloud service is very poor: if you don’t pay, they can take almost a week to reply, so I ended up paying.
When they finally replied, they explained that the deletion was supposedly due to inactivity. That made no sense, since I used that account every single day because I work as an editor for several stores and wouldn’t just stop working for three months. I explained this to them, checked the email linked to the account for any deletion notices, and found nothing. After contacting them again, they told me to use a feature called “Rewind”, which is still in beta.
I tried it, but it only recovered about 1% of my files. That means I lost a huge amount of data, both work-related and manga files. I even lost a new project I was developing for the store I work with. Thankfully, I had previously sent a progress photo of that project, so I was able to use it as a base to rebuild it. Still, this situation affected everything significantly.
I’m explaining all of this to clarify why there were no updates, especially in December, which was the month when I most wanted to push updates and catch the series up to Chapter 112.
So, what are we going to do from here?
The chapters that had already been proofread but whose editable PSD files were deleted will be re-edited somehow —either starting from scratch or by locating the cleans and redraws and replacing only the pages that have specific errors.
If you’re wondering how we even have this chapter if everything was lost, I had to ask the Enhancer for help to figure something out. The solution we came up with was to download the already enhanced version of the chapter that he still had on his PC. He usually deletes files, but luckily he had kept some chapters. This issue didn’t only affect Youjo Senki, but also other series we’re working on.
I apologize for the length of this message; I wanted to properly explain the situation. I also want to let you know that we’ll soon be uploading chapters up to Chapter 112, and gradually re-editing things if any errors are found. That’s also why we truly appreciate anyone who wants to help with proofreading. There’s no need to edit or redraw anything —I’ll take care of that, since I’m the one who lost the files due to a cloud service that simply didn’t work as it should.

Tanya dealt with the ghost of the evil commies and now decided to make a retcon of the Battle for Britain?

Why am i not surprised to learn it was MEGA, have had similar issues with them before as well. but never to this extent this is just awful
Sad to hear about this, hope you're able to redo the things you need too without too much trouble. Thanks for the chapter and have a good year!

As a computer scientist, I hate computers. The hardware isn't generally the problem, just about everything on top of that is broken in some manner.
Then toss in humans, that is how we end up with somehow forming a civilization constantly teetering on the edge of things breaking.
Compelled to spew about problems for the next hour. ..
Best solution would be a personal data server, but that is certainly quite costly for initial setup, so I can't blame going for the promises of cloud computing.
While I certainly do want more Tanya to read, please take care of yourself and take all the time you need to get as much in order as you can.

They started including them in the Africa campaign intermittently I think.

I’m excited to see the rescue mission of the wing commander coming up soon. It was a highlight of vol. 4 for me.

So her early retirement was not approved... 🥲
I have been trying to read after so long but either my brain is scrambled but I can not make sense of anything that is going on. One chapter the mages do everything, destroy all sorts of equipment and infantry including one shotting trains and railway guns, and so on. next chapters the mages somehow can't penetrate beyond 20 mm and they need tanks with FRONT(?) armor of 100mm to be immune to mages? Wouldn't they need top armor? and considering the amount of explosions they cause, Tanya's magical worth should have been something like a ton at least, but she is somehow below 30kg tnt?
The series is inconsistent with itself. Characters love to hype up Tanya like the reincarnation of Sun Tzu, but all she ever does is overpowering everything, ignoring all the countermeasures by superior force, and finishing enemy off even if enemy does everything right, and manga acts like if she were to stop playing soldier and led armies Empire would surely win. Yeah I am sure without plot armor those battles would all be lost, and Tanya would be useless as a commander.
Recent chapters also feel like there are holes within them, no flow, no consistency. What is even going on? How long was the delay between volumes?

Hmm, how healing to see Tanya so happy. Sad that isn't a choco tomboy alongside the old man.

English Channel => Dodobird Straight.
I hope that's just a hell of a downgrade becauase it feels like a deliberate insult to the English.
