    暁の水平線に（プロローグ）

    広い海の、小さな島での、小さな出会い。

    一応作画を頑張ったので、一月末に上げるつもりがこんな時期になりました。
    ラバウル１００位以内を目指して毎日５－４をヘビロテしてたせいかもしれない＝＝
    頁が多いのでざっくりした予定だと４月末に前編、７月末に後編をうｐします。本にもする予定。
    そのためあの、夏までにレールアウト３を総集編で作ろうと思ってたのがその、冬になるかなー…なんて…
    アルペジオおもしろかったので冬コミには「めんたるこれくしょん２」も出したい…

    言い訳１：空母棲姫は格好がＲ－１５なので、空母棲鬼を参考に服を着せてます。そのせいで資料を混同して微妙に作画ミスってます。
    言い訳２：トーンは時間がないので本にするとき塗る＝＝
    言い訳３：ストーリーと台詞と構成はラストまで考えてるので、もしアニメと矛盾することが出てきたらゴメンナサイ。拾える小ネタはむしろ積極的に使いたいですが。

    This smells like the set up for a harem manga. The kid grows up surrounded by girls and thus has a certain familiarity with them (especially considering how little clothes the Abysmal wear). Then one day the ship girls come by and notice him and try to 'rescue' him but he steadfastly refuses, but through his uncanny ability to be empathic to the females he manages to convince of few of them the merits of the Abysmals.

    Also there will be hilarious ecchi hijinks.

    I would read it, sounds hype. I was always interested in the beginnings of the admirals who were designated to order the ship girls, seems like they need to be individuals of great charisma and determination in order to keep them in line, something that most normal people don't possess.

    So basically like Minarai's series, but from the opposite side.
