It's nice that they translated it to English. Too bad their program for book viewing is impossible to use.

Wow, I have never expected that Andorra ever appear in a manga.

Trivia: the shield the Witch is holding is the real Coat-of-Arms of Andorra

Sweet. Strike Witches is one of those shows I like without actually knowing WHY I like it so much. Hopefully I can read this.

spoiler[The Neuroi have conquered the European continent in this alternate timeline. Nothing says that Andorra doesn't have a military force made up of displaced witches and displaced refugees with military experience.]

That's not what I meant. The witches and equipment are based on relevant historical military figures. What's the basis for Andorra's?

I see what you mean. Well, I guess until the creators happen to mention that, or some fan asks them about it, we will have to credit it to their imagination and the structure of their world.

It's a testament to how much I'm used to this series' quirks that I didn't even notice that that blond chick on the first page wasn't wearing pants at all.

According to the author, a fan from Andorra wrote to him and said how much he like the series. As a gift and tribute to that fan, The Witches of Andorra was made.

In the story, actually, there is no Andorra military. There's just a single Witch who's studying in Barcelona, and a bunch of stalwart peasants.

It is awkward, but I got used to it. The weird thing is, whenever you click the page, it's generally because you want to zoom...but every time you change the page, the default action from clicking the comic pages becomes "go to next page," and you have to click the "Magnifying Glass" icon again to have your cursor zoom.

That's not that annoying, what's annoying is that it zooms in too much when you use the magnify function.

What rotten luck only to discover this now, after several months have passed, as the link provided in the post leads me to what looks to be an entirely different issue. At least, I couldn't fine anything strike witches related in it.

Is there any way to view their archives? I would love to read this.
