Introduction

Initially released as an online novel and later published by KADOKAWA, this popular story will finally be adapted into a television anime! It is a little girl with blond hair, blue eyes, and translucent skin who stands on the frontline. She flies in the sky, shoots down enemies relentlessly, and commands the force. Her name is Tanya Degurechaff. In the midst of an aggravating war, she makes great achievements one after another by making best use of her own wit and pursing efficiency uncompromisingly, and eventually she emerges as a flight witch navigator that the empire is proud of. A genuine fantasy of military history with the smell of gunpowder smoke has just begun!

Story

In June 1923 of the "unity calendar," Tanya Degurechaff —a youth with blond hair and blue eyes— works hard on the training at the third patrolling line in Norden battle field of the northern military district as a part of her service in a military unit, which is the final curriculum of the imperial military academy she belongs to. The training would have been the first step for her illustrious career as a flight witch navigator and she was supposed to complete it without any problem. However, the situation takes an unexpected turn. Stemming from the cross-border violation by the Entente Allies, war breaks out between the empire and Entente Allies. Due to the transition to wartime, she is assigned to an observation duty. However, a surprise attack by the Entente Allies forces Tanya to face the situation where she has to fight against the enemy witch troop by herself. They are so vastly outnumbered that she has no way of defending herself until her allies arrive. Even so, running away from there could only lead her to the hopeless circumstance where the death penalty is inevitable for her sin of deserting under enemy fire. In order to survive at any risk and appeal to the top of the organization that she has tried her best, she intends to launch an operation. What will happen to her?
