A review by panger97
Arpeggio of Blue Steel, Volume 1 by Ark Performance

3.0

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^
