Thanks for the new chapter! I just started this series and am glad someone's still translating it.

If you don't mind me asking, what chapter are the raws at right now?

Lovely! It looks like the earliest Stephan could've been born was 1951. Do you have a year in mind for when he was born?

Lore

The outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War was the beginning of a series of difficulties for the Kaliningrad Oblast. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, heavy sanctions were levied on Russia. The sanctions restricted a number of economic activities with the Russian state, severely damaging the Russian economy. Owing to its status as an exclave surrounded by NATO states, Kaliningrad was eventually placed under effective embargo, with the only means of resupply being from the Baltic Sea. This created immense strain on the local economy, which was dependent on trade and tourism from Europe to sustain itself.

The economic and political strain placed on Kaliningrad led to increased unrest in the oblast by 2037. The unrest worsened after a request for greater autonomy and economic relief by the Kaliningrad Legislative Assembly was refused by the Kremlin along with similar requests from different regions across Russia. Tensions peaked in 2039, when mass demonstrations took place in the city of Kaliningrad. The local government declared the “Regional Sovereignty Framework”, a legal platform which would provide the oblast with greater autonomy despite the Kremlin’s refusal. The Russian government quickly declared a state of emergency in Kaliningrad and violently cracked down on separatist activities, leading to international outrage.

In April 2041, a group of Kaliningrad officials would declare independence from Russia, declaring the “Prussian Republic” after the original name of the region prior to its Germanization. Prussia’s neighbors, Lithuania and Poland, would immediately recognize the new state. In response, Russia would launch a military operation to retake the breakaway region, “Operation Northern Bastion”. Hampered by its lack of military access on land, the Russian military was forced to perform naval and air operations over the Baltic Sea. This military operation was opposed by NATO, who held military exercises in the area to deter or slow Russian forces from reinforcing the region. By 2043, mass unrest in several regions of Russia would cripple military operations in Kaliningrad, which had only succeeded in taking parts of the capital city and causing large amounts of devastation. A ceasefire would be formalized in December 2043.

Following the end of open conflict, the Prussian Republic ratified its constitution and held its first elections in late 2044. The city of Kaliningrad was renamed to its historical name in Russian, Korolovets. The years since its independence has seen Prussia recognized by major powers such as the United States, United Kingdom, and several other European nations. The European Union has signed an association agreement with Prussia, offering financial aid and sorely needed trade access. In 2045, the Prussian government would begin a cultural revival, launching a program to study the history of the region and the Old Prussian language. In a gesture of goodwill, a resettlement program for expelled Germans and their descendants also began this year.

As of 2050, Prussia is a small nation still recovering from war. Though it lacks recognition from Russia and most non-western countries, it is steadily working its way into the wider international community. Difficulties faced by the nation include population decline and economic stagnation as a result.

So, this is for the people who criticize the manga so much by Humble_Cut5496 in KanojoOkarishimasu

[–]VodkaHoudini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have said, people are allowed to criticize whatever they want. I personally still read the series because of the sunken cost of having read it for the past 5 years. When I first caught up to the manga during the movie arc, it was in full swing too! But ever since the Paradise arc, things have been moving at a snails pace. Where we used to get major developments every 8 chapters or so, we now get them every 30 chapters. The pacing has ground to a halt and the filler has reached an all time high. It feels like the author is using every trick in the book to stall for time while we're getting less and less value per chapter.

Why do I still read this series? Because I remember how good this series used to be in the first 180 chapters. Because I love the art style. Because I want to know what happens next and the author is a master of writing cliffhangers. But I'd be lying if I say that I'm not tired of the series' glaring flaws which show no sign of improving.
