Youjo Shenki

Viktoriya Ivanovna Serebryakov writes in her journal about her time in the army and her thoughts on Tanya Degurechaff. She believes Tanya is a kindhearted person, although she can be scary at times. Viktoriya also asks Tanya what the word “salaryman” means, as Tanya had mentioned it at one point. Although Tanya tells her not to worry about it, the word prompts her to reflect on how she ended up in this world. Despite adapting to her new life, she still resents Being X for bringing her here and repeatedly putting her in danger in an attempt to make her acknowledge him as a God. Meanwhile, Viktoriya can only watch as Tanya makes a variety of facial expressions while lost in thought. When Viktoriya asks what she was thinking about, Tanya claims that she was thinking about dinner and how delicious it is going to be. Thats the reason she couldn't help but smile to herself.

Youjo Shenki is a series of short episodes that last around two to three minutes each. It was fun to see the characters from Saga of Tanya the Evil doing things like playing card games and celebrating at a restaurant. The chibi versions of the characters also reminded me of Isekai Quartet. The series remains mostly clean, although there is a scene in which Viktoriya Serebryakov reveals some skin after unbuttoning the top of her uniform. However, the chibi character designs lack the depth and detail of the original designs, making it difficult to view the scene as fan service. If you enjoyed the main series, Saga of Tanya the Evil, this mini-series might be worth checking out as well.
