You can read chapter 1 online actually here. It's not the same as the novel intro though (you would have to ask someone to translate it but you sound like you can read Japanese so ...).
Coincidentally, it's the same place where you can read first chapter of Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai (as well as MM! and Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai too, but those are scanned), but Mayo Chiki! is not uploaded yet =(. That's a good question, I remember lots of beams (including a DRAGOON type of thing as well as plasma blasts/laser) but I don't think there are actual missiles. Could be wrong though. My memory is spotty at best due to various issues at the moment. |

Yah it is a 20 minutes into the future kinda setting, the world's technology is mostly no more advanced than the present. Except for The IS which are such technological breakthrough that they are considered decades or even centuries ahead their world's technology. And of course Japan happens to invent these wonder machines and the Scientist who designed the Mechs happens to mysteriously vanish leaving designs for only a limited numbers of original suits, Plus the core blue print are all black boxed so the design can't be studied and analyzed and only replicated with limited success. Those original suits in question are hence distributed among the world's major powers to ensure no side abuse its power. A treaty is also set limiting the amount of IS allowed to exist. Currently only 467 are in service world wide. The academy trains next generation pilot officers for militaries all over the world and the most promising cadet class rep are allowed to own a personalized original or souped up mass production copy pasta model IS. If its anything to go by, the mechs in this novel are more powerful than some gundams. for one they all allow the pilots 100% battlefield and situational awareness and they all got Evangelion grade AT Fields, few conventional weapons can even hope to scratch the shields. It is said in the novel that should all the IS pilots decides to revolt , then the world's military would be utterly crushed within at best 3 days and worst 3 hours.

Though there is an tournament every so often that happens where different country's IS compete for the title of number 1 in the world. The MC's sister was the winner of one such tournament. And Video games are made regularly to reflect these tournament(NHL, NBA series game like). Also is mentioned the huge and rather heated power level debate/ my country's IS is better than your country's or my country's IS pilot are hotter debates all over the internet due these video games. |
