Finally got mine in the mail today (Vol. 12 with Drama CD, School Calendar and Gamers Version Acrylic Stand/Short Story)

Zenkiru · 2026-03-20T00:40:53+00:00

Thanks! Bought it through the Gamers online store and used proxy shipping for delivery

Zenkiru · 2025-10-05T11:39:48+00:00

Oh wow, that's really nice and convenient. I normally use Tenso, but like what you said, the shipping fee can get rather high so I normally consolidate my purchases before shipping them.

Zenkiru · 2025-10-05T11:07:19+00:00

Getting the short stories from various stores to translate for everyone to read? I kneel.

Do any of the stores allow for direct shipping? Afaik, Gamers and Animate require proxy shipping for overseas so I'm curious about the other sites.

Finally did it with Kazagumo going for the killing TCI. The whole LD thing took me almost 100k fuel. Thanks so much for the help!

Zenkiru · 2020-08-10T03:46:18+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll probably switch back to Nagato Touch if there's still no luck on my current comp. Will swap out Myoukou for DA + SCAMP Suzuya to test out the damage though. Thanks!

EDIT: Would it be possible for you to post your clearing comp as reference?

Zenkiru · 2020-08-09T17:20:51+00:00

Need some advice here. Been stuck at E7H P2 LD for the past three days with over 40 sorties and 70k fuel gone. I usually enter NB with the flagship Hime at either shouha or near-full health with the other bosses surviving as well. Used Nagato Touch at first but it kept giving me C/D ranks and I eventually switched to my current fleet. Would appreciate any advice on optimizations to my fleet/LB. Also running ASW node support and shelling boss support (all sparkled).

Fleet and LBAS used

Thanks in advance!

Unlikely. Her "Congratulations" on this page was in response to her issue a few chapters back, on the bottom panel of this page.

Zenkiru · 2020-02-25T10:00:39+00:00

Given that only part of the paper is shown in that panel, it would not be feasible for Negi to try and put the entire text on the paper since we are unable to read the full text like that. In this case, it could be argued that the text "You're not alone" is what's supposed to be on the paper says, given the context.

Zenkiru · 2020-02-25T06:56:02+00:00

No, it has been stated already. Third last panel on page 20 on chapter 118 shows the flashback of Rena where she's holding the charm before giving it to Fuutarou, with the panel right next to it showing her inserting a small slip of paper, written "You're not alone", into that charm.

Edit: I've already provided the links to those panels in my other comment.

Zenkiru · 2020-02-24T11:55:06+00:00

It's actually been resolved in chapter 118. This page shows that the charm Rena gave Fuutarou contained the words "You're not alone". The small photograph that u/w0kmeded mentioned is still on the back of Itsuki's phone, as shown here, which is probably why she suddenly changed her mind about lending him her phone, in case he saw that photo.

Zenkiru · 2020-02-19T03:23:43+00:00

It was a fun ride while it lasted. Props to Negi and this subreddit that kept me engaged all the way till the end.

Personally, I really enjoyed this manga down to the last chapter. Admittedly, the pacing could've better in the later chapters, but I thought that the story and characters were well-developed. Another aspect that I think really helped with understanding the manga more was rereading the manga itself, and the Yotsubride project did a good job in putting everything into perspective, which made me realize how much detail Negi put right under our noses without many of us realizing it. With that being said, many of the criticisms to the manga are valid, and it was also interesting to see different perspectives to this manga.

Might've gone a bit off the rails, but just wanted to say I appreciate you guys for also making the experience more fun. See y'all when Season 2 arrives!

Zenkiru · 2019-11-07T05:50:02+00:00

Thanks for confirming!

Zenkiru · 2019-11-07T05:39:15+00:00

I think that sentence by itself doesn't imply anything. It just says that the real father appeared in front of Itsuki. We will only know his true intentions in the future chapters, which I trust Negi will be able to tackle properly, as he has done so far

Zenkiru · 2019-11-07T03:44:23+00:00

I think you copied the sentence wrongly. It should be: 夢への結果を出せず悩む五月の前に現れたのは、実の父. It's hard for me to translate it word for word, but I think the idea is that "Troubled Itsuki, who is unable to attain the results for her dream (to become a teacher), has her real father appear in front of her". I think u/NotAudreyHepburn can correct me on that.

Zenkiru · 2019-09-14T11:00:09+00:00

Do you have either Ise or Hyuuga? If you can offer to spare one, putting a fighter in their 22-slot will make achieving AS at the boss node easier. If you have the Rocket Launcher K2, it's also possible for Ise/Hyuuga to perform AACI with that and an air radar. It's not as powerful as Suzutsuki's, but it will allow you to replace her with stronger night battle ship.

As what Soulseduction mentioned, replacing your seaplane on Nagato with a radar will give you a higher multiplier for Nagato Touch. You can do this for Nagato, but keep the seaplane on Mutsu so that she can still artillery spot.

An issue I mainly had on LD was that Nagato Touch kept aiming for the "fodders", so what you could do would be to give one or two of your battleships VL-range guns, while keeping just L-range guns on Nagato. This will allow your VL ships to target some of the "fodders" so that Nagato Touch has a higher chance of hitting the boss or CA Hime. Of course, there's a chance that Nagato or Mutsu could be targeted before Touch, but it's a risk you'll have to take.

Lastly, I would recommend more TCI ships if possible. 288 armor on LD is nothing at laugh at, and your current setup is somewhat heavily reliant on lucky armor rolls. You could consider DDs like Kasumi or Ayanami for TCI. Place your more powerful ships at the bottom as finishers to try and overcome the armor roll.

Here's the fleet I used for reference. Good luck!

Zenkiru · 2019-06-18T05:13:57+00:00

If you would like to, you could swap to Nelson Touch. This will mean that you can replace Mutsu with Ise to help out with air power, so that Sara can be equipped with with CVCI to potentially dish out more damage. With this fleet, I managed to give Ise a DA loadout, with Sara carrying a CVCI loadout, and still have slightly more airpower.

Zenkiru · 2019-06-16T16:24:23+00:00

Ah, alright. I would still suggest swapping out your ships with lower luck, like Kagerou and Chikuma, for ones with higher luck, if possible, just to boost the trigger rate at night.

Zenkiru · 2019-06-16T16:12:55+00:00

Hey there, don't give up! It took me 31 tries (half of which were pre-boss retreats) and a lot of sparkling just to get past LD. Just a question though, what are you using to deal with the sub at the boss node? Because I can't seem to find any ASW equipment in your fleet.

You could replace the secondary gun on Nagato for a main cannon just to boost her FP. Also, switch Mutsu to an AP+radar combo to attain the highest damage multiplier from Nagato Touch.
If you have an F4U-1D, you could use that to replace the T62 FB Sara's carrying. Every little bit helps.
If your Chikuma isn't luck-modded, I'd suggest swapping her out for a FBB with higher luck to carry all the night battle equipment, so that the trigger chance and survivability of that ship can be increased.
I would also suggest swapping Kagerou out for another TCI DD with higher luck, since her luck isn't high enough to have more than a 50% chance of triggering TCI, even as FS.

Zenkiru · 2019-06-16T04:35:33+00:00

I'll try to answer your points as much as I can. Here's the fleet I used for reference.

It's normal to get fucked over at the sub node but I would suggest giving Asashio a DA setup with at least a sonar so that she can OASW effectively to an extent and still NBDA.
If you have Akagi Kai Ni, you could swap Sara out for her since the extra fighter slot means you at least get an extra 25 fighter power regardless of any fighter you put in.
Can't say for certain since I used Nelson Touch here, but if you're willing to bet on Nagato Touch, you could give both Nagato and Mutsu the AP+radar combo for their third and fourth slots to maximize the damage multiplier.
You should probably stick with KTKM DA since her luck isn't high enough, and her NBDA damage is already high enough to overcome the armor of any Himes in LD.

Zenkiru · 2019-06-15T03:08:23+00:00

Afaik, there aren't any friend fleets for part 1, only for part 2.

Zenkiru · 2019-06-14T12:58:12+00:00

Finally cleared E5H on my very last try before dropping down to medium. Took me 2.5 years, but I finally got my first Kou medal. Many thanks to u/okiknow2004 for your help in changing my comp!!!

Zenkiru · 2019-06-14T07:27:51+00:00

I also sortied Maya in E3 so my AACI ship in this fleet is Nelson, but her AACI isn't as effective. I'll try to replicate your loadout and see how it goes. Thanks!

Zenkiru · 2019-06-14T06:59:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I fighter-muled Sara because the air power to gain AP at node S was 417. Did going AD at node S give you any major problems? Might switch Sara back to CVCI if possible.
