Tanya and the 203rd have done the unimaginable and delivered an aerial assault on the capital of the Russy Federation almost as suddenly as the new belligerent attacked. What’s more, they have obliterated the international volunteer mage forces tasked with guarding the city! But is even such a decisive victory enough to convince the world to lay down arms and accept imperial hegemony!?

The Empire’s most decorated aerial mage, “The Bard,” has been shot down over the Northern Sea—no match for the awakened apostle of the lord, Mary Sue. The unexpected Imperial defeat buoys the enemy nations, and sends waves of confusion and fear through the exhausted Empire… But when the news reaches Tanya, deep behind enemy lines in the Russy Federation, it only strengthens her resolve. She vows in inflict such terrible losses on the Reds that the death of her fellow ace will pale in comparison!

Tanya has won victory after victory on the battlefield, and still the Empire hurtles toward its destruction. Zettour stands at the helm, a warped sense of patriotism guiding his actions as he prepares the stage. His only goal now is to secure the best possible defeat the Empire can afford, even if it means going down in history as the greatest villain of all time. And to make that happen, he’ll do whatever it takes to shock and awe the world, starting with Ildoa. The time for diplomacy or reason has passed. There is only war.

The Federation’s Offensive—Rising Dawn. The Federation has been steadily preparing itself for the decisive battle. As the moment of truth rapidly approaches, the Empire which has long been on the offensive remains unaware of the threat. In these dire circumstances, only one person has noticed where everything is heading: Tanya. Zettour also refuses to simply watch and begins his grand plan to deceive the world. In the end, the one who will pull the trigger on this operation is a monster in the guise of a young girl...

Time is not on the Empire’s side. It has become painfully clear that simply winning battles will not be enough to turn the tide of this war. Having no interest in sharing the fate of her country, Tanya immediately decides to do the only thing that makes sense—look for a new job! Of course, she’ll have to proceed with extreme caution, because her current employer isn’t some random company but the Imperial Army. As it happens, she isn’t the only one ready to do something drastic when push comes to shove...

The Salamander Kampfgruppe has finally come off the front lines and is headed back west for much-needed R & R. The troops are more than ready to enjoy some peace and quiet after many long days flying missions on the eastern front. What they aren’t ready for is how unfamiliar it feels not to be surrounded by whizzing bullets and exploding artillery shells. For Tanya, though, this long-awaited return to the rear brings more disturbing realizations than respite. This vacation may be far more eventful than it has any right to be...

Anyone can tell that continuing the war is ludicrous. The question now is not whether to but how to end the war. Colonel Lergen has been working on brokering a truce in Ildoa for some time now, yet peace seems farther than ever. Bringing the war to a close in a way that everyone can stomach may be harder than surviving on the eastern front. In the meantime, people like General Rudersdorf and General Zettour are beginning to move in the shadows. If a resolution isn’t reached soon, things are only going to get even more dangerous...

Exhausted and drained, the 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion prepares to head home— until an encounter with a suspicious vessel from the Albion Commonwealth piques the little major’s interest. Could this finally be Tanya’s one-way ticket to the rear?!

After a successful exercise with the Norther Sea Fleet, Tanya leads her battalion to the nostalgic, blood-soaked skies of the Rhine front lines for another mission...Only this time, the mission includes babysitting new recruits?!

The Imperial Southern Continent Expeditionary Army Corps struggles under the reality of the shortage of manpower and supplies. The Imperial army’s weak spot has been exposed, and an experienced commander like de Lugo is quick to take advantage and pin them down. Driven into a corner, will Romel and Tanya be able to turn the desperate situation around!?

When Zettour tries his best to caution against the reckless plan to strike at theFederation's vital resource fields, he soon finds himself "promoted" to a fielddeployment on the eastern front. Meanwhile, as the ill-advised Operation Andromedapresses on, commanding officer Tanya must fight another bitter battle despitedwindling supplies, poor communication, and exposed flanks. With retreat expresslyforbidden and time running out, the only way to survive is to win...

When the average Japanese salaryman is suddenly thrown into in a world wracked with warfare and hardship by a supernatural power, they might first think to hide or run away. But not Tanya Degurechaff. A calculating and utilitarian man has been reborn as a child soldier. This young girl will do anything to rise in rank and find a way to live a life of comfort, and woe to any king, country, or god who stands in her way.

At last, the long-awaited days of tranquility are here! Tanya begins attending war college, where she spends her time feasting in leisure. But who would've thought that a conversation with General von Zettour would lead to another turn of events...! Will her days of delicious bread and clean bed sheets come to an end?

As hinted at by Colonel Lergen's "thoughtful" words of advice, an attack on Dacia has been ordered by the Empire, and the fearsome power of the new mage battalion is deployed. Determined to unleash the power of modernity upon the enemy, Tanya prepares her freshly polished human shields for an all-out battle...There's no holding back with a resume-worthy achievement on the line...!!

Extoled for her achievements in Dacia, Tanya makes her grand return to Norden! As the war escalates, so do the General Staff's expectations for the 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion (much to the young major's dismay). From a barrage of enemy formulas to communication mishaps with higher-ups, it looks like everyone in the world--be they enemies or allies--will stop at nothing to sabotage the former salaryman!

At last, the silver-tongued Tanya manages to thwart plans for a winter offensive and secures a path to the rear—not. Instead, an imperial order launches the dumbfounded Degurechaff into the freezing war abyss, where no amount of cursing can absolve her from her new duty. But just as White Silver begins to lose trust in the Empire, and unexpected ray of hope shines down upon her. Could things finally be looking up for the young major?!

Finally, the Osfjord clash between Major Tanya von Degurechaff and Colonel Anson Sue of the Regadonia Entente Alliance reaches its climax! Who will emerge victorious in this fierce showdown between two world powers?! With the fate of the entire aerial mage battalion and the Imperial fleet resting on her tiny shoulders, failure is not an option for this vertically-challenged major—certainly not when her reputation’s on the line!!

Only a step away from their demise, the Regadonia Entente Alliance desperately push for a government-in-exile. Meanwhile, the notorious “Rusted Silver” Tanya von Degurechaff faces off against Colonel Anson Sue in another fatal battle that threatens to change the course of the entire war...and her chances of promotion!

Winter is roughly two months out. The time limit has been set.But the Empire's military leaders are fiercely divided on what to do. Should they conduct aggressive offensives in hopes of a break through, or should they weather the winter and use that as a chance to reorganize, restructuring the lines of battle? In the end, they decided that while they gather supplies for a theoretical offensive, they would conduct an investigation to collect intelligence. Naturally, Tanya's Salamander Unit was the first candidate for the mission. Should they push ahead, or should they hold their ground? There's no time to hesitate. As the hellish conditions worsen, the war shows no sign of slowing down or becoming any less brutal. Everyone has no choice but keep what they hold dear close to their hearts as they march ever onwards toward the battlefield. Everything for the sake of the motherland, for the fatherland.

When a great assassin is reborn in another world, he finds himself the heir to a long line of killers from the shadows. With both his modern-day knowledge and experience and the special magic and techniques of this new world, he could very well become the most unstoppable assassin in history…!

When the Republican Army, led by Lieutenant Colonel Vianto, attacks the imperial supply base of Arene, the Empire’s top brass orders the 203rd to carry out an operation that Tanya herself proposed back in war college-the “Devil’s Protocol.” But what exactly are the fearsome contents of this ominously named plan...?

No one but “enemy combatants” in need of extermination remain in Arene, and the members of the 203rd are finally forced to carry out their merciless orders. As the Devil’s Protocol comes to fruition, resulting in mountains of corpses and a battlefield that indeed resembles Hell itself, what path will Lieutenant Grantz, tormented by his conscience, choose to take...?

After surviving the hellish urban warfare in Arene, the members of the 203rd Battalion are ordered to move on to their next assignment-defending a tactical withdrawal of the entire army from the rear guard! They’ll be up against the brunt of the Republican Army, which now has a bone to pick with the hated Devil of the Rhine. The Republicans put up quite the fight in Arene, and the threat they pose is greater than ever before...

After somehow managing to live through the most grueling battle of their entire careers, Tanya and the 203rd receive a letter from the General Staff. Its contents are, essentially, “Hop on these rockets and go smash up the Republican Army’s HQ. Oh, and be sure to come back from this technologically unprecedented flight alive once you’re done with your absurdly dangerous mission!”

The 203rd Battalion’s manned V-1 rocket assault, a mission that will determine the fate of the Empire, has thrown the François Republic’s headquarters into chaos—and Tanya, along with a company of her toughest elites, is right on its doorstep to finish the job. As the Commonwealth waffles over its next moves, lulled into complacency by the Empire’s retreat from the Rhine, General Zettour unveils the next phase of his devilishly brilliant strategy...

As the second and third phases of Operation Shock and Awe move forward, Tanya and the designated company of the 203rd Battalion prepare for a leisurely flight home. The Empire’s victory seems close at hand—which only makes it more of a surprise when two battalions of aerial mages, led by the Commonwealth’s most storied ace of aces, run into Tanya on their way to sneak-attack Western Army Group HQ. While it’s surely too late for the Commonwealth to turn the tide by finally entering the war, taking out this underequipped quarter of the 203rd is far more achievable...
