KanColle - Yokosuka Chinjufu-hen Anthology Manga Discussion
 

I made a thread to discuss about the manga adaptations this series has.

One of them seems to be done by Hisasi:

That must be an anthology, which often has multiple doujin artists participating, in fact, I think the image in the bottom is from Hatsu Inu.

Anyway, right now my biggest priority is the Tatsuta and Tenryuu manga, which already seems like it could be fun, and the Akatsuki sisters are there too, so cuteness is guranteed. Good stuff.

Yes, that's a fan anthology. Aside from the 4koma, the official ones are the ones about Tatsuta and Tenryuu, and the Akatsuki-class destroyers.

Can someone explain to me what is this Kantai Collection actually is? Anime, OVA, trading card? I'm not really clear at what is this and how this suddenly become so popular.

Please go to this thread.

In short, moe IJN ship girls. See how it's been wedded to the hip to the Arpeggio anime's endcards.

As for popularity, many blame Kouta Hirano (aka Hellsing and Drifters' mangaka) ranting about his ship girls sinking on Twitter sometime in July.

How is called the one from Hisasi?

I find this is his art style *-*.

is seems that this is official

Which artist is that?

Take note we have 3 comics out so far: the 4koma, the one focusing on Tenryuu and Tatsuta, and the one with Fubuki and the penguin teitoku.

What this says about sales?

Shimakaze chapter 2 is out! Yea, I definitely prefer this series over the other adaptations I read, I like the serious atmosphere.

Well, it's been way too quiet, especially since translated chapters of the more serious manga have been coming out.

Basically two more chapters for Shimakaze, Girl of the Whirlwind, as well as Itsuka.

The latter is a bit interesting, as it's the first time we've been shown the Wo-Class in print, and rather than cute or beautiful in an alien way, they're shown as legitimately creepy-looking.

Just a head's up.

I certainly didn't expect them to be so creepy, that's for sure.

I'm not liking the direction of Yamazaki Kazuma's kancolle manga is going.
I originally thought it'll deal more with warfare against deep sea fleet, but recently we've been dealing with Shimakaze's loner issues and not much about other things.

Any version with a Female Admiral?

I'm against Hisasi getting serialized. I keep losing all my favorite H-manga artists at this rate. Tosh I can forgive, because once you exceed godlike you can just reset your stats and conquer the world over the second gamemode (from H to Non-H).

I can't really imagine Hisasi drawing anything apart from Ecchi stuff though.

So I take it by this thread that anthologies and other official works (Shimakaze, the 4koma, Calm Seas, even the novel etc) are fair game?

Got a few of these by print, and apparently I accidentally bought an extra anthology (serves me right for not checking before making the order).

There are a few more that I didn't buy yet, but mostly because I'm already out of moolahs for them. Didn't realize these anthologies have follow-up volumes. Well, it's a nice thing to know that they even exist, because most of the time I just assume anthologies are single-shots of a collection of selected strips.

Oddly enough, my current favorite out of the official series we have now is the Shimakaze manga. It's just that its rate of progression per chapter is a bit too painful to bear. There's more that makes me curious to know than just what has been shown in the chapters so far, but frankly I'm not that very good with... waiting...

(Also, yay for thread.)

That infodump in the Shimakaze manga. :heh: It's hilarious how it's pretty much Arpeggio of Blue Steel, except with literal shipgirls rather than mental models.

ohh i remember the infinite blue i read before
cover kongou vs kongou lol

Actually none of them are done by Hisasi. In the OP, one of them resembles Kamiya Zuzu's. The one in yours looks done by Yahiro Pochi.
