Will give the first volume, a 3/5 stars. Definitely an interesting concept so far. The story, as far as I have gathered is that these mysterious battleships that are labelled as part of "The Fleet of Fog", have suddenly appeared 17 years ago from the story's beginning. We follow the perspective of the crew on I-401, including its "mental model", Iona, who is sort of a personification of the ship.
What I like about it so far, for one, is that I don't know many stories about battleships in general. However, I would have loved a more serious take, but as it is so far, its tone is a mix of serious and some silly. Like one thing, I think what makes it hard to take more seriously is some of the character designs.
Anyway will definitely continue eventually^

I was expecting this to be more “Cute girls! Ships! Adventure!” so my expectations were pretty low. I was pleasantly surprised, though, because it’s more of a sci-fi/military/action story and, while the girls are cute, they’re not there as fanservice.

I was intrigued by this series, but after reading it, I just feel meh.
I think maybe the sci-fi series, particularly when there are some kind of mechanics involved, just aren’t for me. It’s not to my interest.
We get introduced to an odd group of characters. They’re in a different world, and the group is living in a submarine, running from the government. There’s fighting, we meet a girl who’s a robot and they’re not sure how much she really knows and has access to.
Mostly, I was bored. I don’t care for all the tech talk or mechanics. I don’t think I’ll be reading more.

This story follows a group of privateers, called Blue Steel, in a submarine along with its humanoid avatar.
This was an interesting enough naval story, with some fun characters. However I don't think I'm invested enough to want to continue with the series.

Arpeggio starts out very Navy like with bunch of terms I would not of known unless they notate, and they did so readers would not be lost! But more to the point, this is about a future world where ships of the past come back shortly after the Ice Caps melted more alive then anything, shooting down human ships and separating countries from each other being unfazed by human weapons.
The art stood out to me in the first chapter, all very details for each person even from far away the desk of each person on the ship was done to each of their personalities!
