Product Description
This is the third installment of the `For Creation` series, following [Dictionary of Magical Terms for Creation] and [Dictionary of Magical & Alchemic Terms for Creation].
This glossary covers over 800 keywords by theme that are useful for creating novels, manga, and other media, with a focus on the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the U.S. military, including weapons, military organizations, operations and tactics, and even soldier training schools, special forces, espionage and other intelligence activities that often appear in films, as well as military terminology and slang.
In addition to an easy-to-understand explanation, each term is accompanied by icons that indicate at a glance which country the term comes from and what era it is from (distinguished by [Middle Ages/Early Modern Period], [Around World War I], [Around World War II], [US-Soviet Cold War Period], and [Present Day]).
From [other-world fantasy], [school battles], to [sci-fi set in the future], military and weapon terminology and knowledge are absolutely essential.
We hope you will find this glossary useful in your creative endeavors.
