Issue Description

The fate of humanity rests in the hands of the crew of Blue Steel

In the early 21st century, the majority of Earth's landmass is submerged due to rising sea levels. Enter the Fleet of Fog, a host of sentient alien battleships of unknown origin who easily decimate earth's naval forces. Humanity is now on the verge of extinction.

In the year 2039, the stalwart Captain Chihaya Gunzou and his intrepid crew on the Blue Steel fleet may be humanity's last chance to fight off the alien invaders. The Blue Steel fleet happens to contain a secret weapon that could turn the tide of war: a mysterious I-401 submarine that can transform into a girl.

The Fog battleships Haruna and Kirishima have been destroyed through the combined efforts of the I-401 and the Japanese government's "White Whale" sub, and the port of Yokosuka is safe--but the same can't be said for the I-401. While still damaged from the battle, the 401 comes face to face with a Fog submarine that Iona doesn't recognize, and it's not exactly friendly!

Back on land, Haruna, the mental model of the destroyed ship, is found by Osakabe Makie. The mental model and precocious human child strike up an unlikely friendship, and Haruna learns that there's far more to Makie than meets the eye.
