Eh? But it's described as being made/published by Famitsu.

EDIT: GAAAAAAAH, why hasn't anyone translated that yet?! TT_TT


Reading the Itsuka Shizuka na Umi de manga.

... Did I just watch chibi-girls inhabiting Hyuuga's aircraft-storing deck? And they're the ones who fly her miniplanes?

The chibi girls are fairies. In the game you see them whenever you construct a ship in the dock, and they're on the equipment card illustrations too.

We need more spotlight on those fairies.

When you say fairies, and after you people compare the collection of ships to Touhou, I can't help but seeing some parallels here....

Same as usual.... Wing it.

There are quite a few that border on grimdark though (see the one referred to in the Fridge entry), so I won't touch those.

Well...

Most of these ships were sunk.

They lost the war.

And the maps, incidentally, are mostly based on naval battles which Japan lost. There's at least one sequence based around Guadalcanal for example.

Frankly making it not grim or at least heavy on the black humor requires a high level of ignorance.

Marq FJA: The fairies are just... there. Even in the anthology no one seems to react to them in the stories used (some of them, the maintenance crew, even help Zuihou double-check whether the Wo-Class really WAS Kaga). Makes things surreal in a way, even in a series about personified ship girls.

Night: There's a whole lot of grimdark out there not making its way to Danbooru thankfully, but some of those artists who made their name doing gore Touhou doujinshi are now doing Kancolle doujin for this Winter Comiket so...

Chapter 21 for the 4koma is up. And yes, it's about Musashi this time.

I could swear that the Sazanami Famitsu comic was on danbooru somewhere. Maybe someone deleted the pool?

Added the Kantai Youchien series to the fanfiction recommendations, because it's too cute to pass up.

Oh, and by the way, the circle is finally complete, as Shimada Fumikane (Sky Girls, Strike Witches, Girls und Panzer) is apparently the credited character designer for Taiho.

Unfortunately she will have pants, but hey, can't have everything yes?

Slightly related, but boy was C85 packed with Kancolle stuff.

Though there is this thing that happened at the cosplay photo-op area.

Yep.

It's not planned, right? O.O

Regardless, it's better than what happens in trains or taxis there.

Please, this is a Les Yay series. Cosplayers playing along with the theme (after all, it's Tatsuta and Tenryuu!) is expected.

Fairies as construction workers? Being a Touhou nut (from the western fandom), I guess we—- OH NO NOT CIRNO

I checked the main website now, and as expected, not only is the (default) image of Fubuki now there, we have a "New Updates" panel. Still pretty sparse, but eh.

Chapter 2 of Itsuka has been translated. Focusing on a rescue operation. Of regular humans on a regular ship. How does that even work?

Also, chapter 0 got translated a while back, too

And another manga is starting to get translated; Shimakaze, girl of the whirlwind. It's an ecchi harem series

...I'm going to be sticking to Itsuka

There's a reason why the Shimakaze comic was listed "for our big friends".

That said, while we have a male MC, it's surprising that his boss is a female admiral. Acknowledging the fandom a little Kadokawa?

What I want to know is what that image that I linked to is depicting! Is that a cosplay comiket thing, or something?

Yes, its from c85. And no, it's not connected to Kancolle.

OK, then what's it about? And is it just me, or does that "guy" to the left look like "he's" cosplaying Deadpool?
