context: Otherside Picnic is a pretty good lesbian light novel series (slash manga slash a really medicore anime). The premise is pretty much "what if we went into a dangerous other world and went through a bunch of life-threatening situations but we were both girls :hyperflush: )

A plot point early on is that a battalion of American troops gets stuck in there during a training exercise, and they get pretty fucked up. Unfortunately the author is definitely a little weird about the troops, which does make me a bit uncomfortable with the series (planning to write an effortpost about it eventually), but it's still good enough for me to recommend it. This is largely because the protagonist Sorawo is such a fucking weirdo: she's just like me frfr

otherside picnic is so good! sorawo is the world's dumbest lesbian, and i treasure every time she doesn't realize what's going on. especially since they definitely fucked in book 2 while drunk

I am going to wait until the LNs are finished before reading them, but the mediocre anime did make me think they would be right in my strike zone. A winning combo of Gay and New Weird.
