Yukkuri’s Synopsis (since I can't find a good synopsis):
In the Great Orient, lies the continent called Rodenius.
One day, an unidentified flying object arrived at Qua-Toyne Principality’s airspace. The unidentified flying object defied the Principality’s common sense. But that unidentified flying object was just a harbinger of something even more shocking.
Far to the eastern sea, a group of islands suddenly appeared. The country of the islands called itself: Japan. According to them, their nation had been transported to another world.
Now finding themselves separated from their old world and must survive in the new one, how will Japan interact with the native countries of this world? Will they greet her as friend or as enemy?
This is a story of the country called Japan as it was engulfed in the chaotic storm of the world.
Basically, Japanese version of Island in the Sea of Time. The Light Novel Version is the rewritten Web Novel version so some point might be different.

This is novel or light novel.? Got illustrations of this..?
ReplyDeleteLN.
DeleteIllustration will be put on its respective chapters.
Ohh, thanks for hard work
Deletehmm feels alllooottt like gate... well from the setting anyways...I except no more oldie F4 phantoms anynore. its time for dem F16Ds and f15 E strikes to show up. And maybe a guided missile destroyer or two... or three...I or four.... or the entire jmsdf :v
ReplyDeleteThis is very remind me to GATE.
ReplyDeleteSeems interesting, thanks for pick-it up (=w=)d
I was reading a WN where a very annoyed Amaterasu started using Izangi-ish solution to excessive summoning of Japanese problem and thought what if the whole of Japan got isekaied.
ReplyDeleteThen I found this.
I know alot of web novel with similar settings to this I could recommend some if you want.
DeleteI'd love some of those recommendations.
DeleteAmi también me gustaría esas recomendaciones
Deletethis is too much..whole nation transport to other world to op. This is assuming other world not a modern world yet.
ReplyDeletehola esta novela genial y se parece a Gate:Jietai por favor continuen y muchas gracias XD .
ReplyDeleteThis is do dumb. Transferring a 21st century nation (like Japan, of all nations) is more in line with survival manga than this. It's like taking an average person in modern society and teleporting them to the top of Mt. Fuji, with similar results.
ReplyDeletePeople compare this to GATE, but GATE has the advantage of the modern Earth's technological infrastructure backing up Japan.
I have noticed that in order for Japan do to any empire building the author has to somehow remove it from modern Earth and its history (A certain mahjong game nonwithstanding).
DeleteIt's an inescapable fact that Japan's neighbors would violently object to such activities and would lead to a war that Japan would lose. Thus, the contrivances in plot.
The story goes on and on about the need to find a new source of food, but that shouldn't be the chief concern for the Government. Energy is. Arable land is available and can be quickly found and developed, oil deposits - not so much.
DeleteFinding that the New World had Middle Age level tech should send off alarm bells since that means they have to do all the energy exploration and exploitation work themselves, which takes time they may not have.
Hmm... I don't know how much food stockpile that Japan had, since from what I know, Japan had many emergency food stored in their warehouse.
DeleteBut even assuming rationing and developing new farmland, how long Japanese could last until harvest I wonder?
Japanese calorie-based food self sufficiency rate is only 39 percent for the four years up to fiscal 2013. And need to cover the rest with imports.
Japan has the second largest SPR stockpiles within the OECD, roughly 324 million barrels. So Oil is kinda safe for several months, since Japanese only use 4.557 million barrels in a day (2013 figures).
So compared to oil, perhaps the Japanese author worried more of the low food self-sufficiency of Japan? The government was trying to increase this FSS rate to 50% by 2020. Let's see if they able to do it.
Consider the following:
Delete1: Japan is cut off from the rest of the world. There is absolutely no way the Government can hide this fact from its citizens.
2: Being (hopefully) sensible folk, the politicians take the safe bet and assume it's not going to return to normal anytime soon. That means an state of emergency and authorization for national mobilization.
3: Devoting all of the nation's resources towards survival should be sufficient to keep the populace alive. Keep in mind that involves completely repurposing Japan's education, technology and laws to that purpose.
DeleteNice research, btw. But you can't really do the same for energy. 21st century tech isn't enough to compensate for lack of oil, especially on such short notice.
So it has to be oil. Japan doesn't really have an domestic oil exploration and drilling infrastructure in place, though they do have refineries.
Setting up shop is the easy part, especially when regulation isn't an issue, maybe a few months. The big problem is actually finding enough deposits in the quantity needed, which is frankly a crap shoot, especially when you don't have all the maps and survey tools like on Earth.
Even more problematic is if the deposits are sitting under someone else's land. If you recall, this was a big reason why Japan started WW2. Even if the Government is reluctant to seize those resources by force, the citizens may force its hand.
Well. Japan got 92 days State Stockpile. And the Private Stockpile held out for another 77 days. Equal to 169 days. I think they will do something in those 5 months... Like rationing gasoline, restarting nuclear power plants, dunno... Installing solar panels as much as possible...
DeleteEven without geological map, local presence of bitumen for example, could indicate that there is an oil deposit nearby (or at least the presence oil sands, time for fracking, do Japan has mature fracking tech?).
The locals might even have rudimentary oil wells. I mean China had been creating bamboo drilled wells since 2000 years ago. The Mesopotamian also have dig oil for quite sometimes (though they also have shallow well) since 4000 years ago. So all Japan had to do is to expand the local shop.
If the oil sit on other people land, then there always the option of trade. Given Japanese technology utter dominance over the locals, offering some of the non-core non-military technology for export rights or even mining rights would be a rather nice trade treaty.
Just setting up a rig and starting pumping operations takes several months. Actually locating sufficient deposits on Earth can take years, which means it's more of a gamble - maybe they'll get lucky and hit the jackpot, maybe they're wasting their time.
DeleteJapan does not have fracking capability as of yet. Processing tar sands requires a refinery with a Coker unit. Japan has no such refinery atm, though companies are looking into it because of their involvement with Canadian Tar Sands exploitation.
Coal is much more abundant, so it's likely they'll ignore environmental regulations and shift as much capacity from oil to coal, but even in a state of emergency (i.e. rationing) that a lot of shortfall that has to be made up in a hurry.
There's also the political side of things. Confidence in gov't. will be shaken and there will be pressure to "do more". That is how the militarists took power before, by playing to such sentiment. In short, the problem for the Japanese government isn't the people of the New World - it's their own people.
But in the end, this only makes the point that food isn't the pressing concern, energy is. Hell, petrol is essential for making fertilizer and fueling machinery to produce that food.

DeleteI wouldn't way this is dumb just yet. I mean we only saw the prologue... I will agree with you if this book just ignores and gloss over the issue of food, resources, economy and other major issue of being transfered to a new world.However it is too early to judge the content of the LN. If the author was smart he would tell a story of how Japan solved an issue that was not possible to overcome by brute force. I think that this author knows this and eventually will tell a story mentioned above. But who knows, only time will tell.
DeleteI suppose. But as I mentioned before, this twist of sending Japan to the New World creates complications that do not exist in other Earth-Isekai LNs like Gate.
DeleteI do hope the author can manage it, but it bothers me that i'm not seeing the "siege mentality" that accompanies an unprecedented nationwide state of emergency. So far the Japanese act like it's business as usual (taxi accident, air show), which just feels wrong.
Yeah I noticed that too! I was really hoping we get a scene like in Gate where the public goes into chaos when they first saw the existance of other world. Mabey in the near future we can get a scene in the perspective of average joe in Japan so we can see the impact of being transfered into other world.
Delete日本万歳～
ReplyDeleteWell, I always wanted to say that.
Thank you for the chapter~
Wait I was not expecting this I in OT hell and not updated the light is being transalated Yes, been reading the web movel.
ReplyDeleteOtsukarasama deshita, Yukkuri Oniisan. Anyway, I think it's a fine novel with good potential but a number of flaws. I seemed to found a laughing matter (at least for me) but for the author, shouldn't the title of Volume 1 be renamed "The Rising Sun"?
ReplyDeleteFrom all the novels out there you choose this one ? Sigh
ReplyDeleteI wish you would pick up the Veterinarian already, the story premise seems much more imteresting than the usual isekai stuff
Almost sound like Rune Troopers but this time it the whole country.
ReplyDeleteI started reading Rune Troopers but I have more hopes for this WN/LN than Rune troopers. I felt rune troopers was bit lacking in the whole realism department. They used a ATGM on infantry! Not even supposed to be designed to be used against infantry. As well as using 125mm cannon on a wyvern type of dragon and they arent obliterated to piece.Do you know how much punch those cannon have?! So yeah I have more hopes for this LN/WN than Rune trooper.
DeleteSeriously that you are looking for realism in this kind of history? Don't make me laugh hahaha. Right because in this novel here where a whole country is transferred to another world is realistic!!! If that would happen, and with a country like japan that imports a lot, it would not end with a happy ending, it would be caos really fast, anarchy and etc!!!
DeleteAnd about how they used their guns in Runne troppers, it was a desperate situation dude, people make mistakes(i mean the characters and the author), nothing is perfect! Simple as that! And about the dragon? Its a wyvern indeed but you need to remember that for the time being, its the most power full thing that we know of, that, that world has.
Of course im not looking true realism! Why else would i be reading rune trooper? That type of genre is one of my favourite! The reason i complain about not being realistic is because there is limit to how much you can deviate from real world applications. For example the LN Toaru Majutsu serise has almost no object from non fiction world but when talking about science they still retain some legitimate real world facts. Other reason i complain is that I would find the novel more interesting and indepth if it considered the fiction vs. Non fiction problems.
DeleteLooking for reality, Ok not for the fact that not a mention of Kaneda base, or if Okinawa is there. Not to Mention how many foreigners reside just in Tokyo. The author could later explain energy by geothermal. In General the author hasn't said too much about the population at large. For all we know mass suicide could have happen but no food is a big issue. Seige mentality even when the nuclear reactor was melting down there wasn't even a real drive like feeling. Just people debating if they should leave or not and then a pretty orderly evacuation. Just enjoy the ride.
DeleteWhen part 3?
ReplyDeleteHi, I would like to know if you are going to continue translating the story.
ReplyDeleteI really liked it ^^
Vol 2 chapter 1's title seems spoilerish to me lol jk
ReplyDeleteDid you guys dropped this?

ReplyDeleteMada ka....? Hayaku kayaku....! Can ssomeone tl this novel if this novel is dead here...? O
ReplyDeleteno yukkuri is just very busy, he wont drop any project without telling us first..
Delete"This pleases me greatly." -Solaire 2018
ReplyDeleteWhen is the next update?
ReplyDeleteGot bored so read volume 1 of rune troopers.
ReplyDeleteNee~Yukkuri-niisan, can i translate this novel? I already read it. Waiting for Author's update. My email is jeikun02@gmail.com
ReplyDeletehey if you translate it, please share a link with your translation of the novel, I want to read it but yukkuri-niisan takes a long time to translate it, if you know why it takes so long please comment
DeleteMe too I want to read if you have the translated one. Please please
DeleteI find this too good to be true, Japan is a bit too "goody-two-shoes" in helping another country. Besides from the food aide they should atleast ask for more concessions if they were to help militarily.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the execution of this story is so naive and childish that the author failed to mention the political schemes from Japan sides. Depicting Japan as unfallible pure good.
Realistically, if the Principality is spying on Japan for their technology, Japan is also spying on the Principality for their magic.
Without any UN council to oversee Japan, what is there to stop Japan into becoming an empire again especially the circumstance their in. A Right wing group should be advocating to change the constitution from defense to offense. This is complete Japanese propaganda BS.
Also how the hell can Japan replenish their ammunition. Most of Japans weapons are from american surplus. Without America, how the hell can they replenish their ammo, especially missiles. As far as i know Japan buys high ordnance from America. The way they keep wasting their ammunition all willy-nilly for the sole purpose of defense is stupid. Eventually they will run out of ammo. MAGIC OR NOT, They should have run a decapitation strike on the leadership of the Quila Kingdom.
Japan has the capability of domestically creating sophisticated weapons systems, from 9mm bullet to nuclear weapons. The only thing barring them now from creating those systems is the license and their constitution, as well as guaranteed american protection. You should know that this novel is targeted to japanese audience and not everyone.
Deletein other sources of thethe novel it's said that japan is already developed nukes and it established trade with an country that focuses on mineral mining and the constitution was change to slowly adopt offensive weapons because of their war against the demons and an ancient empire, so it's not too childish for me
DeleteMang in english is out.
ReplyDeleteyukkuri are u still continue this story?
ReplyDeleteI hope this novel gets picked up soon
ReplyDeleteI think this novel is history.
ReplyDeletepun intended or not?

ReplyDeletetry reading hear https://mobofdeer.wordpress.com/summoning-japan/
ReplyDeleteHello, first, thank for translates the LN, as I can see, is very different than the web novel; second, my question is, the fansub translates chapter by chapter? Because I see a long wait that you published a chapter.
ReplyDeleteIs this the translation dropped?
ReplyDeleteI really hope this gets updated. it's been months
ReplyDeleteSo Yukkuri Oniisan dropped right ?, does the LN have English version ?, its pain to read raw WN even with google translate, i can barely understand everything
ReplyDeleteAnyone get the feeling that the Parpaldia v Japan feel like Pre-WW2 japan against Post-WW2 Japan specially in outlook. not even in the fight/technological head-to-head. but just the mindset.
ReplyDeleteAnd before anyone starts... I'm Filipino. And I'm not saying this as a dis against current Japan. If anything I applaud them. And let's be honest here, should PH and JA actually fight. I still think PH would get smashed down, not that we have the will to go to war anyway nor do we have any casus belli for it to begin with (Yey, peace)
It just feels.... weird, reading it in this way. History definitely shows a rule by fear Japan pre-WW2. Not gonna list the incidents but you get the idea.
The port fights kinda reads like revenge-port for pearl harbor. It's probably because the main targets is the dragon carriers.
Feels Wierd
