[xatom12]

I feel this ln likely a danganronpa hope edition or something with transfer students to another world

[bakato]

An isekai story that didn't turn me off. I'll be damned.

[Keila]

kids these days and their crazy inventions

[Wandering Soul]

This definitely doesn't sound like your standard isekai story. Color me interested.

[NeoAnkara]

As long as this didn't get canned like Ultimate Antihero.

A few questions:

1) What's the story like? What developments have happened so far? What's the fantasy world like?
2) Is there a designated MC? Or is it an ensemble cast who share equal time?
3) What sort of personalities do the seven characters have?
4) Who is the supporting cast? Any major/interesting villians?

Chapters, 1, 8 and 9 of the manga are available on Gangan Online.

Manga art looks pretty decent.

So far I could only read the first volume, but I hope this can satisfy your questions:

1) The 7 high school students where flying on a airplane when they suddenly had a plane accident. When they woke up, they found themselves in a middle ages like world which had dragons, juujin, elves (only 1 so far), magic and slavery.

Spoiler for Developments:

- The students hear of a legend about 7 heroes that are summoned to defeat and evil dragon, though the details are not well explained so far, they kepp investigating believing it to be related to their current situation.
- The students start helping their rescuers by bringing inventions like mayonnaise, aluminium tools and even a nuclear reactor.
- Two of the students, Masato and Shinobu go to a merchant city to increase the village funds and investigate more about the world, taking control over the city's economy in a matter of days.

Spoiler for major spoilers:

- Because of an attack of the territory's lord to the village and the kidnapping of Riruru (1st cover girl), they decided to help the villagers in the rescue, practically knowing that it would be like declaring war on the empire. They attack the lord's castle destroying the castle's wall with a rail cannon (though it got thrashed with only one shoot, it was still very overkill), invade the castle using duralumin shields and arrows, while Tsukasa and Shinobu infiltrate to rescue Riruru. By the end of the volume, they defeat the lord and take over the castle, starting a revolution in order to make a democratic nation.

2) The most clear MC would be Mikogami Tsukasa, he's practically the leader of the group.

3) About the 7 students personalities:

- Tsukasa is the kind of cool and smart guy, he's someone that puts the well-being of the people above everything.

Spoiler for Heavy Spoiler:

A clear example of this is that years ago, he brought his own father (who was an evil politician involved in many dirty deeds and crimes) to justice with the help of his friends. Thanks to his actions, his father got the death penalty for his crimes, and his mother ended up cutting her relationship with him for choosing unknown citiziens over his own father.

- Sanada is a kind of relaxed guy who loves two things, money and older women (on that order), in business he's ruthless against corrupt merchants and kind to the needs of the poor people while always getting the best profit, he's regarded as the "maou" of finances.

- Akatsuki is the group's scaredly cat, he's also very complexed about her feminine features, but if needed he's willing to help his friends by jumping on the battlefield.

- Aoi it's very much like an stereotype samurai girl, a strong and brave girl on the battlefield, but she can get very depressed when she thinks she isn't of any help.

- Ringo is a timid and reserved girl that has troubles speaking to men (Tsukasa is the exception), on earth she used to live on a space station.

- Kanzaki is the kind of mature oneesan type of girl that takes care of everyone, though she also tends to make teasing remarks at some points.

- Shinobu is a kind of friendly and childish female character, he's normally nice and easygoing, but she can be scary when angry.

4) There's Riruru (1st cover girl), an orphaned girl of the village, she's like a daughter to everyone in the village, she also helped taking care of the students alfter their plane accident, a kind and innocent girl that would do anything for the villagers' sake. Another one would be Winona, a juujin woman in the village (also Masato love interest), a kind and brave woman who can be very scary when pissed off. Then there's Eruku, Winona's son and a hunter of the village, at first he's didn't trust any of the students thinking they would only bring trouble to the village, but later came to trust and befriend them. Another one would be Ruuko, a little female juujin slave girl that Masato encounters on the trade city, she loves money and ends up practically as Masato's apprentice.

About the villains no major one so far, but as there's and incoming war with the empire, there would problably be some very soon.

Spoiler for Volume 1 Villains:

So far, this volume villains were:
- An evil merchant that controlled the trade city.
- An evil fat perverted lord that raped and killed girls as much as he wanted.
- The lord's knight that practically considered plebeians the same as trash.

[SineMora]

Sad... I know that there will be no glorious: "Nuclear Launch Detected" or "Ion Cannon Ready" Cause they care for the people but at least, patriot missile the bastards!

[WyrdMonger]

Do they build mechs and give them to the oppressed beast man?

There's nothing that indicates that there are mechs on this novel, but there is an A.I. that helps the students. It's name is Kumausa, it's an advanced A.I. created by Ringo, Kumausa was the pilot of the airplane that the students where in, you can see it in the Volume 2 cover.

The info's very helpful, thanks so much!
So all the students are already established friends with each other, right?

PS. If you're able to read Vols 2-4, will you be able to provide similar info on those volumes as given above?

Volume 4 isn't out yet, it's release date is the 14/10/2016. But if get the chance to read more volumes, I'll try to give more summaries here.

[Imagine Breaker]

Looks like a good one.

How is the world-building compared to Rakudai?

[zztop]

I wonder if anyone's interested in translating this LN...
Or translating the manga version of the LN...

[mickbis]

super genius high schooler... They sound like Danganronpa's students in isekai setting without killing game

[Tenzen12]

How does group dynamics works here? Any romantic implications, rivalry, incompatibility, playing favourites, best buds friendship or anything similar?

[beast 666]

Hi, I am new to the Forum I hope not to be a nuisance: D, I really have much expectation for this serie of Misora Riku, its history is entertaining, although the truth I am fan of the creations of Misora Riku, as it is the case of Rakudai Kishi and The ultimate antihero (by the way both series are very special in the sense of the history and development of characters) , so I hope that this series is not an exception, if any information on the v4 I wonder it

[EvI]

Manga just got translated and this is even more interesting then i thought, the reason the next volume of rakudai came late was probably because the author was dealing with the fourth volume of this one, anyway an rare top notch isekai story can some translator give this one a thought?
