Youjo Senki "God is a Terrible Manager"

[Dark0w1]

I was randomly lurking around Light Novel Translation works when I encountered this little gem.

The story is about a Japanese Salary-man who got reincarnated in a Loli Magical Girl because God is a Terrible Manager. So far I only manage to read the Prologue and Chapter 1 of the Novel but I am already having fun reading it. My impression about is that it look similar to ROB SI fanfiction you can find in the forum.

If the covers I'm finding online are any indication that is a fucking terrifying magical girl.

And is she wearing an iron cross?

Skythewood is the one translating it but it seem a bit of low priority for them. Updates is supposed to be mid-2016 or something.
Skythewood translations: Youjo Senki

Well, she is an officer for the Empire. In which I presume set in some sort of Holy Roman Empire Expy during 1900s. The Iron Cross is after the symbol of the Teutonic Knights. Nazi's just smeared the reputation of the symbol like what they did with the Swastika. I believe German Military still awards the Iron Cross to their soldiers today.

I wasn't making a Nazi reference actually. I was legitimately confused by a loli magical girl apparently being a military officer.

My apologizes then. It just ever time the Iron Cross is brought up the Nazi seems mention next so I just instinctively refuted it. She is supposed to have a training exercise in the Northern areas of the Empire when the Union decided to attack her position.

Anyway I just finished listening to the Audio Drama and damn Tanya have a very cute voice. I wonder who is her Voice Actress?

To be fair, given the Japanese LN scene and its tendency to take . . . liberties . . . with its cultural appropriations it's not to out there for the association to lead to Nazis. Unfortunately.

Loli Battle Chronicles...

It would seem that Youjo Senki is getting an anime adaptation according to Skythewood Translations. Still Loli Battle Chronicles, seriously??? I really need to find the source of these news.
