Although I like the art, I feel an awful lot is crammed into only so much space. The relationships of the ship girls is complex enough already and now there is also the identity struggle because of their past lives as ships. And Zuikaku's appearence seems to ovrrwrite Shoukaku's ship girl memories of Houshou and their promise? Seems a bit much to me and makes it a bit confusing.
Did Shoukaku bite Houshou at the end of the chapter and try to make her hers by force or did she stop herself from doing it? I couldn't really tell. Either Shoukaku closes her mouth or it shows Houshou's reaction to the bite.
You can tell this wasn't one storyboard and developed chapter by chapter. The artist's Erika x Gertrud stories suffered from the same plight, though it didn't matter because there was less plot-driven drama.
