Arpeggio of Blue Steel

Not sure if it'd be better to post this here or on /m/, I've never seen Yea Forums ever bring up/talk about this manga, I know the anime was completely different and done entirely in cgi but I don't think that was discussed either.

Go >buy the manga, military moe needs the love it can get. GuP and Strike Witches were shelved indefinitely due to low sales.

We used to have manga threads and anime threads, but the hype eventually faded.

Iona is da best.

OP here, as for my own opinion, I'm currently on chapter 60, I'm thinking of buying it when I catch up to the official releases (or volume 12 or 13?).
I like it from an art and action standpoint, I don't know where some of the background plot threads are going to go though and there could be more character development.
Really liked the whole Haruna/Makie thing.


I didn't hate the anime adaptation and though the second movie went in an interesting direction and the scene of Iona dodging missiles was pretty cool I guess.

Eh I prefer petite characters, Iona was more my thing, maybe Takao aswell.

Ah I see, been here since the early 2000s but I come and go.

Anime gave ALL I SEE though

Imagine her engine room.

I'm rather HARD for her STARBOARD.
You'll forgive the awful pun, couldn't control myself.

I made this thread because I wanted to draw attention to a series I wish more people would get into.

Ending theme was catchy.

>there could be more character development.

It's not possible anymore, the author fucked himself by constantly adding more characters, plotlines and locations. There's no place to develop anything anymore. Even now he can't a fynamic story, all is dragging on with constant switch to different characters and locations, and the story is stalling. Just compare it to the dynamism of the plots and action in the beginning.
Vinland Saga has exactly the same problem (thoug with Siggy and his merry band GTFO, things could improve now).

Which is why anime is better.
It focuses on few ideas and actually has an ending. Even if that ending is kind of meh.

It's an old series and Yea Forums has a very short attention span.
Also, the kancolle fad is long over.

Best girl.

This is official art.
Why do they put in erotic poses what appears to be a early teens girl?

And when is Iona going to rape the MC?and when is the story going to stop with retarded things like turning the mc into a child just because?

The time between the releases is so long I don't even remember who's who, and how some things happened. I remember the MC got killed and somehow revived, but I don't remember why there's 2 of them now, including 1 being a shota calling the other "father".

All the chapters are on manganelo and just recently updated also.

I seem to remember that the fog can make decoy copies of people.

Really frustrating living in the British isles and there no girls with this figure.

I thought for a while that this manga was based on a game, it had that feel, but of course it isn't.
Somewhere in my head I imagine a crossover with high school fleet and Kancolle.

I have no idea what the author is trying to do with the manga

It was literally translated by an Yea Forumsnon at one point. Anime just killed all the hype and CR picking it up didn't help with its random releases.

Can you into Russian?

Thanks, I'll check it out later.

The anime kind of killed the hype

I agree with this, even though I like the manga too, but I thought the ending was mostly fun, i wish that it didn't imply her coming back though.

I am way way too into this girl/girls like this.

Things are kind of disjointed and confusing since we've got got what 3? 4? stories going on at the same time?

Something about his dad, something about the protag on the run from the milatery, something about bargaining after getting a new weapon, something about the facility incident , something about a kid that was part of an experiment.
Probably too much techbabble but the action is enjoyable and I stilled liked the action bits in the anime aswell.

The anime had constant threads.

The plot is shit. Really shit and the author doesn't even know what to do.

One of the few good things to come from the anime.

If that sequence didn't break your heart, you don't have one.

It's missing chapters 96, 98, and 99. Autism prevents me from proceeding further.

you also have stuff about political power struggles between Japanese regions, humans from different continents, humans vs fog, fogs' factions between them, etc...

there's just way too much shit going on at the same time and the author can't anything actually going on significantly with the amount of pages he can produce every months, so the story has been basically stalled for years

Haruna is the flagship of my heart.

Anime Maya or manga Maya or light novel Maya????

That tsundere heavy cruiser and her whole sisters/class is the best thing that came from this series.

The manga started going in circles and kept going. 10 chapter long battles, 20 or 30 building up to a fucking school festival to tell us stuff half the cast has already figured out or knew. The main dude hasn't been on his ship for like 40 chapters. 90% of the ships don't even want to fight anymore, which feels like a bow to waifuism and a wave aaway of how they fucked the world economy and killed hundreds of millions by shutting down the sea and air and condemned billions to autocracies. All I want them to do is cross the fucking Pacific and advance the plot.

>, I've never seen Yea Forums ever bring up/talk about this manga
Because you're a fucking newfag. There even was an anime not long ago

>There even was an anime not long ago
2013 was 6 years ago, and that's pretty far there by very definition.

More like 7 or 8. I swear Ark Performance always pulls this shit which in turn makes their stories so damn overloaded everyone gives up on them. A damn shame because shit is finally getting real in Arpeggio again.

I'm enjoying Kongo's mommy mode, but I wish she would have kept her outfit

If it was bi-monthly then it would get better.
You can't just cram so many side-plots into so few pages and have something good.

Do you want to my Mommy'ed by Kongo?
