I re-read it the first book recently. It's ok, though pretty obviously a collection of serialized short stories. A bit dry and autistic, but that's every Japanese novel I have ever read.

I think the dry and autistic prose is super fitting for a novel exclusively about modern/near future air combat. If you've ever interacted with anything aviation related its a very list obsessed field.

I like Super Sylphs too.

A wealthy benefactor should commission someone to translate the last 3 books.

It's good stuff, if you've read anything by Philip Dick you'll immediately pick up off of Yukikaze why Chohei Kambayashi gets compared to PKD so often. If you like stories that can be described at some level as
>"this must be what it feels like for a drug trip to go bad"
then you'll enjoy Yukikaze at minimum on its surface level of a conflict against inscrutable aliens where what you see isn't always what is happening, and if you like prying into the question of what makes humans "human" and if it's something specific to humanity or if "human" is a trait expressable even by decisively non-human existences, that's pretty much the deeper thesis that all of Yukikaze as a story is written around.
