With high-quality binding, faithful translation, original illustrations, and strategic maps, this top-ranked novel offers an immersive, critically praised experience for fans of complex fantasy and historical intrigue. ## Description At the very edge of the front lines stands a young girl. She has golden hair, blue eyes, and pale, almost translucent skin. This girl soars through the skies, mercilessly cutting down her enemies. She barks crisp orders with the unmistakable voice of a child. Her name is Tanya Degruechaff.But her true identity is that of a 40 year old Japanese elite salaryman who was forced by god to be reborn in the vessel of a little girl who must live in a tumultuous world racked by war. Concerned with being ultra-efficient and desiring self-promotion above all else, Degurechaff will join the ranks of the Imperial Army's Military Mages and become one of the most feared existences in this new world... Review: Perfection - Perfect conditions, and I do really like it. Review: Not Your Typical Mary Sue - This book, which was a translation of the original Japanese version of the story, entitled Yōjo Senki in Japan, was an excellent production. The quality of the binding was much better than others I have seen lately, which means that it will be able to be passed around a few times and return with all of its pages. This not always the case with American bindings of Japanese titles. They took time to make sure that the translation of the Japanese was done in such a way as to more or less faithfully carry forward the idea of the original languages intent. The illustrations, which I believe were also a carry over from the original were printed with the original's quality and there was additional added full color state maps to show the political situation of the world from the start of the series, as well an explanation of some of the military tactics used by the Empire. The work itself was not a disappointment either. The world of Tanya the Evil is a dark one, and having been introduced to this manic loli-soldier mage in the production by a new studio called NUT, I was eager to read a English translation of the world to see what did not make it into the show and lay on the cutting room floor. The book, which was single-perspective third-person omniscient story, shifted perspectives by having one character, usually Tanya, narrate the scene. In almost every scene it was clear throughout who's eyes and vision you were seeing the world in. Without going into too many spoiler effects, this story, set in a alternative-universe world war setting, but with magic is filled with a plot revolving around control and rebellion. Tanya, the titular main character of the series is rebelling against the idea of "god" or the devil as she surmises that she titles Being X in controlling how she feels about the divine. To add a common twist that has become more mainstream in Japanese works over the last twenty years, Tanya is actually a guy. To be exact she is a reincarnated Japanese salary man who can remember her entire life from before when she ended up running afoul of Being X. It is well worth the price for the read you will receive. Even if you did not buy the book to see if it differs from the show, it can be a great introduction to the world of Tanya. The world building and pace of the book are well done and not replete with plot holes or inconsistencies that seem to be common for most alt-history/ magic adventure stories. While many will see Tanya as a Mary Sue in scope of her power, her inhumanity alone helps to break that mold, as does her failures and deep seated lack of empathy. Give it a shot! ## Features - Binding: paperback - Language: english - Manufacturer: Yen Press - Brand: Yen on - Publication date: 2017-12-19T00:00:01Z ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #54,581 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #98 in Asian Myth & Legend #108 in Light Novels for Young Adults #208 in Historical Fantasy | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,062 Reviews | ## Images ![The Saga of Tanya the Evil, Vol. 1 (light novel): Deus lo Vult - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1NAV05ZU-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfection *by G***O on 27 February 2021* Perfect conditions, and I do really like it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Your Typical Mary Sue *by O***N on 2 February 2018* This book, which was a translation of the original Japanese version of the story, entitled Yōjo Senki in Japan, was an excellent production.

Probably an issue with the travel, so I shouldn't let something like this damage the score. I love it. The quality of the pages. The color of the text. The drawings in the book. The story looks so much more detailed than the manga. More than 300 pages. And I'm excited to get started reading it. If you liked the anime, or the manga, you will definitely love this. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Saga of Tanya the Evil, Vol. 1 (light novel): Deus lo Vult - The Saga of Tanya the Evil, Vol. 2 (light novel) - The Saga of Tanya the Evil, Vol. 3 (light novel) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/262979686-the-saga-of-tanya-the-evil-vol-1-light-novel](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/262979686-the-saga-of-tanya-the-evil-vol-1-light-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
