    The Saga of Tanya the Evil, Vol. 13: Dum Spiro, Spero Part 1 - As always, Youjo Senki delivers. Carlo Zen is a master of incorporating obscure historical references that stimulate my interest in various parts of world history. Not to mention, the dichotomy between the body of Tanya and its “inhabitant” is always fascinating, as is the protagonist’s unwavering adherence to the laws of war, and “his” commentary on social relations in this semi-fictional, World War II-inspired world.

      I greatly enjoyed the anime but somehow never touched the LN. I should put it on my plan to read list.

        That’s so ironic, because the anime essentially ignores the source material. I’d go so far as to say they’re two different series, to be perfectly honest.

        Same. I enjoyed the anime but it isn’t something I can watch Repeatedly. Still, I’m a sucker for isekai and it’s even more silly since he gets reincarnated as a girl and stuff.
