In the Great Orient, lies the continent called Rodenius.

One day, an unidentified flying object arrived at Qua-Toyne Principality’s airspace. The unidentified flying object defied the Principality’s common sense. But that unidentified flying object was just a harbinger of something even more shocking.

Far to the eastern sea, a group of islands suddenly appeared. The country of the islands called itself: Japan. According to them, their nation had been transported to another world.

Now finding themselves separated from their old world and must survive in the new one, how will Japan interact with the native countries of this world? Will they greet her as a friend or as an enemy?

This is a story of the country called Japan as it was engulfed in the chaotic storm of the world.

Basically, the Japanese version of Island in the Sea of Time.

For clarity: The summoned area of Japan are the four disputed Kuril Islands, Japan Home Islands, and Ryuku Islands

I hate to say it but you're better off reading something else.
The ending was rushed as if the author had grown tired of his own story and just wanted to end it.
There is a harem but barely any romance. He proposes to them out of nowhere and honestly I wish I hadn't read this. Wasted all my time :(

This is indeed an intriguing narrative, one of the most captivating stories I've come across in a while. I greatly appreciate the unique perspective, as it's told from the native inhabitants of the New World, rather than the settlers. The writing is commendable, both engaging and thought-provoking. The dynamics between different cultures, the negotiation of values, and the blending of ideas create a fascinating narrative. There's a virtually endless scope for exploration in this tale. I am genuinely eager to read more.

Moreover, from the text, it appears that other lands have been transported to this place, such as Mu dating back 12,000 years or the mysterious "Eight Empire," suggesting that these societies might have received extraordinary external influences.

UPDATE: This review was initially written for the Web Novel (WN) adaptation, when it was still part of the same entry as the Light Novel (LN) series. However, the WN, which is currently being translated, has since been separated into its own distinct page.

Review:
As an engaging tech-gap themed series, "Japan Isekai" presents a fascinating scenario where the entire country, including its military and infrastructure, is abruptly transported to another world. What sets it apart is that the narrative is predominantly told from the viewpoint of the inhabitants of the isekai realm, providing a unique perspective on the events unfolding.

Though it might be a bit premature for a review, I'll share my thoughts anyway. If you enjoyed "Gate," I believe you'll appreciate this series as well. The concept is quite similar, with the key difference being that the entire Japanese archipelago has been transported to another world. As expected, logic takes a backseat in this fantastical tale.

So far, there hasn't been a clear main character, but the alternating perspectives between the natives and the Japanese inhabitants provide a delightful reading experience. The only downside is the limited number of chapters available. In conclusion, I suggest waiting for more chapters to accumulate before diving in. In the meantime, if you haven't read "Gate," I highly recommend giving it a go, as I think your enjoyment of this series will be enhanced if you've familiarized yourself with the earlier one.

I was thrilled to learn about the translation of the light novel. I sincerely hope that the translation team continues their work as soon as the next manga chapter is released, ideally at a pace that keeps up with the web novel's progress. In terms of content, the novel resonates with me personally, but I believe the author could enhance the portrayal of their Japanese adversaries by making them appear more devious and rational, which was a bit frustrating in the web novel version due to their simplistic and illogical behavior.

Certainly not for those JP novels with a weak main character stereotype. The narrative alternates between perspectives of allies and foes, occasionally featuring a Japanese perspective, particularly when a member of the JGSDF interacts with a remote kingdom believing themselves to be Earth's last civilization. While the plot is solid, the lack of extensive human interactions makes it feel more like a log or diary entry.

The battle scenes are undeniably thrilling, but some are unoriginal, borrowing elements from other series, such as the underwater torpedo scene, which reminded me of an episode from Zipang.

What's peculiar is how overconfident the enemy can be, at times giving off a vibe similar to those found in CN novels. Unfortunately, the English could use some improvement.
