Basic premise is it follows the adventures of a Japanese battleship cruiser called the "Unebi" which consists of pretty much all girls. This series is chock full of yuri-related comedy and navel WWII references for fans to indulge on. And not to mention the commander of the ship Kuki gains herself an all-girl harem which consists of her XO, the German U-boat commander, and a freakin' British captain! The most recent chapter that's released is chapter 8 which is unfortunately more straight. :(

Defintiely recommended for girls' love fans who wants something different from their usual schoolgirl lesbians; we have chicks in uniforms! :D

This is a really nice manga :D yuri yuir and some more yuri :D

And here i was thinking in something like Zipang :heh:

Well, girls in uniform = Ponytailed girls= INSTAWIN!.

Damn you darkchibi07, don't get me to put more manga on my list :heh:

From what I found out, the manga is serialized in the bishoujo moe magazine MC☆Axis. It's a quarterly magazine >_> anyway, I'll be checking this out soon.

I request an anime for this...

OBAMA FTW!

LOL HELL YEAH!!!

Shes my fav...but then theres Nina....oh and then theres Ann too!

but its Obama all the way!

haha sounds little wrong that does

wow i'll definitely going to dig this one..

My dear Seikerei fan... did you think that Obama looks a lot like our beloved Tsukiumi?...
she is funny and sexy as hell! :cool:

/Summoning KiNA :heh:

well I would say Nina was closer looking to Tsukiumi but after you've mentioned it I kinda see Sekirei in this.
For instance Mamiya looks like Miya and has even has a demon too:heh: but she has the little shy side of well a shy person(but then after her litte daydream with the battleship destroying one can't deny its her:heh:)
Chiga fits with Matsu as our megane-chan but without the perverted side
Cookie I guess is like Musubi
Obama is more like kinda Kazehana/Matsu

there all kinda a mish mash of each other I guess but then that could be said for any series:p

but since you pointed out Sekirei I can't help but make that connection

oh and the captian is cool. period.

lol all the captains in this are great;)

You see what i'm talking about? ;) :heh:

I approve Captain Nina x Commander Kuki pairing!

so we can see moar "Demon Mamiya":heh:

Chapters 9 and 10 are out which finishes up Volume 1:

I have no idea when the next volume will be released, but since it's serialized in a quarterly magazine it'll be quite a long time. :upset:

My comments:

Obama's Hygienic Entry is win!
Iron Eagle Bikini is EPIC WIN!
Captain's Bonsai FAIL!

The art of this manga is so clean, so well drawn... i love it... the mangaka sure is talented. It's sad how much time takes its serialization though.

Now we need some America's and Italians sailors!

AFAIK, the Regia Marina Italiana (Royal Italian Navy) operated until 1941 from Eritrea, that year British and Indian forces captured the last base and the italian naval operations ceased.

The US operated until the zone of Sumatra.

So only two of Axis powers were involve in Naval combat? Chibi Italia is crying right now.

Okay then what about the Soviet's? Unless there too busy getting themselves killed by the Germans or their Commissar's to get into the naval battle.

Anyway Still hoping for an all America female Navy crew (hopefully with 1940's hair style).

lol I would love an american ship to appear, be pretty awesome then.

I just love this series in that it actually keeps a fine balance with the comedy and whatever else is thrown in. I mean any series that can get a bonzai in a damage report and have it not out of place is made of win:p
Probably the best thing since I first wacthed Strawberry Panic(which is my fav yuri series)

oh and Nina in the bikini is the EPIC WIN!:love:

but still OBAMA FTW!:D

well, this is fiction, so, even some italians from the future -ala Zipang- could show up :D.

That will be really difficult... AFAIK, the Soviet Navy was destroyed at the Black Sea and the Baltic.

Pin ups FTW!!!... it could be easily some Merchant.


It has an IRON EAGLE!!!... epic bikini EVER!

HELL YEAH... :heh:

There were Americans but they were POWs in the first chapter.

God if the Navy was this way I would have stayed in the Navy. Although I agree with Gunny Obama stinky people need baths.

I thought the Soviet Navy atm was still fighting over the Arctic, when the story take place somewhere near India?

I love how Manga/anime can make jokes of everything without being serious. Be POW of Nazi and Japan Empire can never be more funny than that =D

Then no dead crews for any ship sinks? That's like have Enus on Unebi

IIRC, by that time, the Red Fleet was fighting in 3 fronts:
-Arctic: escorting allied convoys.
-Baltic: fighting germans and finnish, the ports were blockaded by minefields, so the ships were using as artillery supporting ground troops.
-Black Sea: fighting romanians. bulgarians, italians and germans. The minefields also blockaded their operations.

The most important actions were taken by the soviet submarines, most of all at the baltic, when they interrumped the normal navigation.


This manga reminds me Irresponsible Captain Tylor in some aspects... and yes, this manga make very good jokes about everything... please, i ask this manga be animated... it would be major win.

I actually meant An All Female Crew of American Sailors. Since the boys of the Navy couldn't defeat those Axis ladies , its time for the gals of good old USA to stop them.

Rosie has something to tell yah...

LOL wonder what they will look like, They got Mary Reed and Anne Bonnie for the British Navy.

Okay ladies, now go them Gosh Darn Axis Ladies!
(My god i sound so pathetic talking like a 1940's kid;))

Marilyn Monroe comes to mind when I think about an american captain showing up:p

You missed like 1 decade... :heh:

That spot is for Rita Hayworth:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...nd_trailer.jpg

I don't know but then it would make for great comedy. I mean Anne Bonny and Mary Reed were pirates of course they were from way before WWII

Rita did come to mind too and I do think her look does fit the american lady better but marilyn just stand out better for me.
And since I'm a huge "Some Like it Hot" fan I can't help but think about her for an American captain:D

also Mae West came to mind too but I'm not sure why:)

Are you sure that you dont why? :heh:... the first time i read how US troops called the first lifesavers i couldn't stop of laughing...

The "Mae West" Lifesaver:

I would love Rita as the Captain and Jean Harlow as the XO.

The author need to put in Amelia Erhart or a proxy to her as she was alive during that time and likely flew reconnaissance for America.

After all this time, Volume 2 is finally solicited:
:D:D

EEEEEEEEEEEKK!!!:eek:

I thought I would never see another vol of this series!

I sooooooo hope the group doing this before take it up again, I need moar WWII yuri goddness:D

YESSSSSSS! MORE WWII YURI ACTION!

Hopefully there will be American girls in this volume.

Finally picking up this.

This is so stupidly good....


Obama is awsm....is she the only straight person on the ship?

Every time Kuki senses Ann approaching it's complete lol

YES! Volume 2 scanlations are out!
Thank you to the new scanlation team.

PS: The scanlation by the new team calls Kuki rank as XO rather than Commander like the previous scans since she is the 2nd in command of the ship. Also Mamiya rank is now "Chief of Internal affairs" instead of XO. However, i think her rank should be Master Chief Petty Officer or the COB.

Now i'm off to read!

The way Obama dealt with that Gestapo guy was....

well it was totally fitting though
