"Make Love Not War" as they say

Well, the premise is great, in that slightly over the top way that makes me think of the manga club in Virgins' Empire. Fun so far, looking forward to more.
On the translators' note--I like the translation "memory holder". Sometimes using a slightly less familiar term jogs your mind to appreciate what it really means, where with something you know really well you just kind of gloss over the implications. Reminds me of something Tolkien used to do . . . not quite the same, but he would "rescue" old cliche sayings, by quoting older, more complete versions (or versions he made up that LOOKED like older, more complete versions) so your mind actually looked at what the old cliche was really saying, and you'd remember or realize the wisdom that got it repeated enough to become a cliche in the first place.

Aah those Japanese manga fights where two strong violent girls go at each other with everything they have and, when the dust settles, they are both looking the same as when they started and there isn't even a smear in their makeup. ¯⧵_(ツ)_/¯

This is beautiful . Have y’all see this one? https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/i1sm89e/ashita-mo-mata-yuusha-no-tonari

It’s the same, uh, premise(?) but the other is with heroes and demon lords and it’s just gaypanic all around

Ha, that's a good start... I'm leaning towards the "idot couple" tag appearing at some point (whilst certainly not there yet, there's elements that could lead to it going that way. It depends upon whether it goes the more serious story route or the comedic route)

That is one weirdly peaceful and cute manga.
Also the "memory holder" thingy makes the already romantic feeling of this even damn more romantic. Hell I'd even say the flow of it just feels almost poetic.
Or maybe am just an idiot.
Anyways, this is great!
Thanks for the translation!

They have various injury marks, bloody nose, some alterations to the clothing (namely the undone tie). The details are largely simplified but they're definitely there.

Interesting idea, but the sheer amount that gets skipped over between chapters hurts it

This has no business being as cute as this is.

I'm having a little trouble pinning down what the relationship between these two is meant to be. They're beating the hell out of each other and used to be fighting a war against each other, but they're also talking like friends and getting all blushy talking about how pretty the other is.

The author here has another similar series called Oni to Yoake that focuses on a different period of Japanese history.

You never heard of the Enemies to Lovers trope?

You could never understand a warriors' bond

The real warlords this is based on sent gifts to each other and had a deep respect for each other above other rivals. Then when one died the other mourned him. You can look this all up online. Anyway when I saw this on Bookwalker I was expecting sukeban gang warfare and I'm a bit disappointed that this is so plotless, at least so far.

Well, they were presumably at war with each other out of duty. Fighting wars for their fiefdom is what warriors do. Doesn't mean they didn't LIKE each other.
So now in their future, they have no fiefdoms to defend, no duty to oppose each other. Why not get a little closer?

I mean, I'm not saying any of this makes sense--the whole story is silly. But that particular issue is a non-issue for me.

Being a history major and a giant yuri fan, I feel like this was specifically made for me :D

It's my favourite, we just seem to have skipped the enemies part in the actual story.
