Gate - Jietai Kare no Chi nite, Kaku Tatakeri

This is really addictive manga. Love the mixture of Fantasy + Human realm jemmed into create a wonderful story coupled with Great and appealing Characters (selling point of the series)

i am really enjoying the conversation between the group, their exploration and adventure of the great universe the author has created

great read overall!!!

There's nothing unique in the world anymore, particularly in manga where everything's been done a million times over, but Gate is probably as unique a tale as you can get in manga nowadays.

RPG'ish, quasi-realistic, a military that actually behaves like a modern military (for manga anyways), and a fairly well thought out fantasy world.

Quite enjoyable, probably not suited for shoujo fans and younger teen boys due to the pace and concept.

It's amazing I had never seen this series before, it seems to be lacking in ways to find out it exists for now, normally people find out about series through tags, updates per release, and various other things, but this manga has only had 3-4 updates here since it started scanlation and I've never once seen it on the front page of the updates pages.

The tags, genres, and related manga also don't seem to bring it up in many searches, or it gets buried under related similar series about parallel universes or the same old stories.

However, having seen countless series become big over the years, I felt right away, this series has the potential to become main stream, if more releases are made, and it's spread around more on readers it will definitely catch on big time.

It has everything a series needs to draw one in from the start and keep them wanting more, even after reading it once, it's still fun to re-read countless times, there are many ways it can go from here, but it would be very difficult for the series to go downhill, at the very least there are countless aspects that provide entertainment so even if it fails in one direction it will still certainly still please in the other ways.

I suggest starting it now, for anyone into fantasy, RPGs, other worlds, medieval vs modern war strategy/technology, time skips, comedy/romance feel as well as knowing when to be serious, it even has a hero/demon lord feel to it, even though it hasn't come up yet as that specifically, in any case it is a very fun read up to current, and will most likely continue to be good for a good while, if it becomes more known it will definitely become popular in the near future.

Do you really think that The other superpowers would let any country to gain superiority of any kind, especially if it is about strategic resources. US(especially), Russia, China, Germany, France would rather crumble Japan to dust than to let that happen, so I think that in this aspect of the story is lacking. I don't want to see the manga turning int a boring political commentary but it will be rather interesting to see the interaction between JSDF and other armies from our world and the other world beyond the gate.
Plus the the story so far is starting to turn towards harem which (if happens) would ruin the manga for me.

You know how you've always had WHAT IF if fantasies about going back to the Roman world with a company of modern troops? although not technically time travel (a portal opens to another realm with Roman and middle ages cultures), this is close enough.

The premise is that the other realm sends a invasion force of legions to one of Japan's cities, slaughters many civilians, and gets annihilated by the eventual police and JSDF. Japan sends in an modern exploratory force to negotiate with the new world's leaders. Oh, that realm also has some elves, dragons, and low powered magic. Luckily, the story stays mostly realistic and we don't have 1-man-nukes slaughtering armies (I'm looking at you generic and soulless fighting shonens). There is also a notable absence of spineless brats screaming I NEED TO BE STRONGER, useless female characters, and high schools.

The main character is the CO of one of the teams sent out to gather intel and win hearts and minds. Really fun adventure so far.

Only read the first volume so far, but good stuff! The story keeps things simple at first, mysterious gate opens up in Japan with a medieval army invading. But this isn't your typical shounen action story with superpowered fighters. No, once the police and JSDF (Japanese Self Defense Force) get their act together, the medieval army is ANNIHILATED.

But this isn't your typical, "the whole world gets along" story either. A subplot of American-Chinese-Japanese-International political maneuvering quickly brews over the control and exploitation of the world beyond the gate. And if thats not enough, theres political maneuvering on the other side of the gate as well.
