Contains the full Volume 3 and 4! The Subjugation War Begins! With supplies in place, plans made, and alliances forged, Souma's mission to subdue the rebelling nobility has begun. With a pocket full of tricks, loyal subjects, and modern knowledge, this should be easy! Well... not if you want your civilians to escape unharmed. Or if adventurers keep treading across the battlefield. Or if your nosy neighbors think this might be the best time to launch an invasion of their own. As the conflict expands, it's up to the crew to find a way to win without falling prey to tricks, manipulations, and schemes behind the scenes. Can Souma survive? And with his reputation intact?
The Rebellion of the Three Dukes and The Invasion of Amidonia is all taking place at one time. People are being forced to choose sides and death awaits the losers. Souma only has the Forbidden Army of 10,000 troops while Duke Carmine has control of the 40,000 man army and Duke Vargas holds power with the air force, not to mention Amidonia is running amok in the south.
The good news is that most of (or at least half of) this war is covered in this omnibus so you don't have to deal with bad cliffhangers. But again, there is unnecessary cleavage, like an unnatural amount of cleavage. I started watching the anime and it doesn't have this issue. It's also a lot more concise. This is one of few instances where I'm actually recommending the anime over the manga. Cause, the concept it actually good, but I'm struggling to get through these books.
