@The Cheiftan
The author is most likely basing this off on revised Japanese history books, so you can't expect too much.

Some bits of Midway are outdated material too.

Probably because of Mitsuo Fuchida's book, which has been discredited as an accurate account in both Japanese and American scholarship.

Anyone interested, look up Dr. Parshall's lecture "Shattered Sword" on YouTube.

Also, Hiryuu is mentioned twice btwn page 53 and 54, unless she was scuttled twice. From my brief search, I think the page 53 "Hiryuu" that was scuttled by destroyers on 2:30 was Soryu.

Yeah, that's nothing new. A lot of Japanese are still bitter about WW2 even though most of that generation has passed away. And have you seen their fiction about WW2 (outside of this)? 99% of it is constantly portraying America as this evil empire and Japan as this peaceful innocent nation that always defeats America in the end. I mean.. it's not like we're two allied nations with extremely strong diplomatic and economic ties now or anything. It's not like we wouldn't send our own troops to fight and die for Japanese countrymen if they came under attack because we value what our two countries have built post-WW2 or anything.

I mean what the fuck Japan. We're not the ones that allied with Hitler and wanted to take over all of Asia. And it's also funny how Japan never seems to mention their murderous and sexual escapades in China and Korea in all these WW2 wankests they love to have. Or their torture, experimentation and murder of American POW's.

Disclaimer: This is, of course, not branding the entire Japanese people but only the people that fall in line with the thought processes I outlined above, as it is "usually" extremely stupid to try and attach a label or single way of thinking to an entire race.

Thanks a lot to the translator, editor and whoever commissioned this.

Some notes on the translation and probable typos:
艦攻 is the abbreviation of 艦上攻撃機 and it's the Japanese term for torpedo bombers (e.g 九七式艦攻 or 九七式艦上攻撃機 is the Type 97 torpedo bomber aka "Kate"). In page 24, 39 and 40 it's translated as "fighter" (in page 24 it's pretty much evident that it's referring to torpedo bombers, that's how I noticed this ).

In page 28 I think 軍艦 should be left as "warships" instead of "capital ships", the 10:10:7 ratio of the London Naval Treaty ratio applied only to cruisers, destroyers and submarines, the old 5:5:3 ratio kept applying to the capital ships (and carriers, which were not technically capital ships in the Washington Treaty, but they were covered by its provisions).

Page 30: "you guys are winning the war was easily", I guess"was" should be omitted.

Page 31: "where should be evacuate to", I guess it's "where should we evacuate to".

Just to say on page 53, while the name Tamon is correct name, Hiryuu always called him "Tamonmaru/Tamon-maru".

Base +7, jfragrettel +8

pg 20, "we were hit by American to torpedoes", should be "American torpedoes"

This doujin has more text than all the doujins I've ever read combined.

I wanna add tag：world of warships

Base +7, jfragrettel +8

pg 31, "I thought to" I think that's "I thought so"
pg 38, "able keep control of it." should be, "able to keep control of it."
pg 39, "still had to done" should be, "still had to be done"
pg 39, "beingal most sunset" (?)

Japan still has a bit of a complex over their very-brief empire at the start of the 20th century, in no small part because the nation spent centuries isolated from the outside world building up an unchallenged fantasy of superiority. It's hard to argue that the Meiji modernization didn't do incredible things, but from that they combined it with the new philosophies of nationalism (that, it should be noted, are making a comeback again) that lead to a pretty disastrous collision course as they attempted to confront other major powers head-on under essentially the same delusion as Nazi Germany, that their "superior race" would grant them victory in defiance of every possible observable factor. Even now, the country has an obsession with militarism and there are plenty of people, especially otaku, who either literally or figuratively jerk off just at the thought of tanks and warships, hence the existence of games like KanColle and anime like G&P or Gate.

America built roughly _ten times_ as many combat vessels during the course of the war as Japan, eight times as much merchant shipping, and had some ten times her opponent's industrial capacity and GDP at the start of the war- a gap that only increased as America ramped up production and Japan lost it to shortages of manpower, bombing raids, etc. Japan never had even a sliver of a chance against the USA, and even very limited martial objectives (e.g. capturing a few island chains) were a distant dream at best, as their alliance with Germany would have given the military more than sufficient excuse to retaliate against any such incursions with devastating force.

The Washington Treaty was passed largely in defense of "minor" naval powers like Russia, Germany, and Japan, not Britain or the United States. Powerful industrial nations with a large population base could afford to continually expand and update their navies without going into crippling debt- but smaller nations would quickly find themselves outpaced and forced to chose between irrelevancy and backruptcy, hence the passing of the treaty. In breaking it, they only doomed themselves to a slugging match with an opponent many times their size.

>And it's also funny how Japan never seems to mention their murderous and sexual escapades in China and Korea

Also, this. Although all of the major powers committed atrocities in the course of the war to varying degrees- including the firebombing and atomic weapons used on the Axis powers by the Allies- Japan too often likes to play the victim when history is brought up, pretending that they were the victim of aggression while denying or minimizing their own crimes during the war. Imperial Japan was explicitly a racist and expansionist nation and they ran roughshod over Manchuria and much of the Pacific Islands, killing tens or hundreds of thousands of people and committing abuses every bit as horrifying as those of the concentration camps.

Japan's romanticization of WW2 is just as bad as the American idealization of the Civil War, and is destructive for many of the same reasons. It is the clinging to a false version of the past that paints the country is a kinder light, blinding itself the possibility that it could do any wrong in pursuit of national greatness. Nationalism inevitably destroys the nation that venerates it- and usually quite quickly, too.
