Bacius can lewd
Bacius can make us laugh
But most importantly
Bacius can make us feel...

Ah yes. The Magical Girl(TM) setup.
Knew this was gonna be dark from the cover, but damn.

(Also, did the KC franchise design the abyssals to be ship girls from the start? Or did they only start adopting this setting as canon after a bunch of fan interpretation...?)

That was freaking dark.

Base +6, Luna_Flina +37

damn.... the feels....

Base +7, AhKai +6, Luna_Flina +37

... they gazed too much into the abyss, now the abyss not just gazes in them, it haunts them.

This has to be one of the darkest KanColle doujins I've read, ever.

It plays like a horror story from start to finish and is darn effective in being unsettling and eerie.

Did Bacius just got sobered from his LSD induced drugs or something?
Knowing his usual trippy comedy this feels really different.

A lot of artists move genres, quite a few of them do all genres, some even shifted to opposite genres. It's nothing new. I know of a few very imaginative artists that can write creative vanilla scenarios, who then went on to draw the most unimaginative unrealistic rape/instant mind control/whatever snoozefest writing. Maybe they are tired? In any case, they are free to do whatever they want.

And not to mention those artists that always jump to whatever is sitting at #1 in comiket since the 1980s, So far, that's 4 franchises,

Nothing new.

Bacius has also done hentai for wani under samerupa alias, but u really never hear about that much. It kind of sucks that's his default alias under e-hentai tagging, as his bacius alias is much more well known.

@john Abbany, it was an early fan theory, which then got made official. Kancolle is not known for stellar writing from the devs, see the anime basically just copying every fanon up to that point. The earliest intent was probably making the abyssals american, because of them using imperial calibers. But that quickly went out of the window around Iowa release or the anime movie's release. It is also important to remember it was never meant to get popular and was supposed to be a small game for bored navy otakus before it exploded on twitter. There wasn't a lot of thought/effort put into anything in the early days. Even in the later days, it is hit or miss.

On another note, I've seen the same old G R I M D A N K "but sheepgrills r abyssals" drama enough times that it has no effect on me.
But it is pretty well written for one of those.

@aaaplus

This one feels a bit different from the other "sheepdogs arr abysmal" dramas. The others I've read have all been, "you sink, you become an abyssal." Even other Betemius works follow that logic. (Unless you're Naka, in which case being scrapped every single time makes you an abyssal.) This one is different in that even if you survive, it's only a matter of time before you become an abyssal. At least in my limited experience, I can't think of another artist who robs the characters of their agency like this.

@aaaplus

There was never any intent to make abyssals American. All the way back in 2013 Tanaka had already stated that he wanted American ship girls in interviews.

Wish the anime adaptation have this type of plot.

A very sad poi
