J-Novel has released the first english translated volume. I had been reading the J-Novel Club chapter releases as they came out.
This series is more on the silly side for me, but it was entertaining in its own way.
This starts out as an Isekai Otome Villainess trope, but quickly veers into silly OP actions as Japanese Sumo is the vehicle of OP power. This is as OP as you can get, so you will have to have some measure of suspension of disbelief. I see it as an silly OP romp, but do wonder about the gods that allowed it.
I did enjoy it, so I look forward to additional volumes.
