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!

TALK ABOUT BAD TIMING… It’s been a year since Sora and Shiro came to Disboard, where everything is decided by games. That very world is about to be split in two, and the pair has no idea how to prevent it! As if things couldn’t get any worse, Demonia picks that exact moment to make a grand appearance and threaten to obliterate Disboard. It’ll take a hero to fight this despair with hope: Sora, Shiro, and the gang aren’t exactly “heroes”…but they’ll head to the supposedly unbeatable Devil’s Tower anyway to save the day!

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.

Perfect for fans of Overlord and Re:ZERO.

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!”

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...

The Imperial Army has allowed the Republicans to pull off their own version of Dunkirk right under its nose—and worse still, the General Staff doesn’t even seem to recognize the significance of what is happening. Tanya, determined to get to the bottom of her bosses’ sudden turn for the oblivious, flies to the imperial capital to see if she’s simply been left out of the loop on some master plan, but even her bleakest suspicions don’t hold up to what she finds there...

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!?

After surviving the Commonwealth’s assault, the 203rd Battalion advances toward Parisii, the capital of the François Republic. Mocking the Republican Army’s feeble attempts at resistance, Tanya assures herself that there’s no way the Empire could get Dunkirk’ed like its equivalent from her previous life—but when her knowledge of history clues her in to something no one else can see, she may have to take matters into her own hands...

On Meg’s seventeenth birthday, she learns that she only has one year left to live. Her mentor—the Eternal Witch, Faust—explains that she is cursed and the only way to save herself is to grow a seed of life using one thousand tears of joy. Of course, such tears aren’t easy to come by. As Meg begins her quest, she finds herself drawn into the lives of her friends and neighbors in ways she never imagined. By sharing their burdens and using her magic to comfort them, she learns how precious those moments of connection can be even in the face of death.

To give oneself over to the desire for victory, as all must do in war, is a sickness unto death.General Romel’s heroic exploits resulted in the replenishment of the Imperial Southern Continent Expeditionary Army Corps. Yet the Empire, intoxicated by its wins in the south, has neglected the growing ambitions of the Reds in the east, and it cannot feel the hateful stares of the world. But even with the whole world against her, Major Tanya von Degurechaff will march into hell if she must…

It’s all storm and stress for the Free François Republic, as the Imperial Southern Continent Expeditionary Army Corps advances lightning-quick across the Republic’s colonial holdouts. General Romel sends forth wave after wave of unconventional maneuvers, and it’s not long before Tanya’s 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion is part of the tide...!

A world governed entirely by games does not favor a timid, powerless race like Immanity, but it’s perfect for a pair of legendary shut-in gamers! Sora and Shiro are now king and queen of Elkia, the last bastion of Immanity. But saving a kingdom is no small task, and responsibility isn’t a game either sibling claims to have a high score in… Good thing the allure of more challenging contests (and sexy animal women) is all the motivation they need to set their sights on a new conquest—Immanity’s powerful neighbor, the Eastern Union!
