I don't know what the fuck is going on.

The tags say I should be depressed, but really I'm just confused

Really freaking stupid artsy fartsy pretentious crap

Oh I see, a new depressing series from Saburouta-sensei, congrats on the new gig sensei

For a moment I thought it was something like a Naval World War

well that was....manga

In the navy, we'll sail the seven seas, in the navy, we'll put your mind at ease

I don't get it but nonetheless I do feel depressed.

Channeling Kumetan.

Very interesting and fits into a concept I've thought over time and time again where women, rather the generalized female, has been historically used to name the tools, conquests, pleasures and horrors of men from the general male perspective.

That's not all the story is of course, I found the element above in the text at the end, "My father told me a long time ago: Boats are women and women are the sea. All living creatures were born from it, a living soup, of blood, tears, and souls."
After reading the authors comments on Yuri-ism, the story is more about these naive young girls being thrown into complex world. A world that has pre-defined them.

Honestly, the first thought I had was of Kancolle where the ultimate tragic and depressive reality of the show hasn't been hidden behind moe and sex appeal.

Why would you write the same thing twice?

Is this a WW2 story?

Uh.. what just happened?

Not really, one photo says "1XX7" so either something before or after.

Interesting manga, I might add it to my list.

It makes more sense after you read the author's comment and others' comments in Yuri-ism website.
I like it. It's something new, though it just hits me towards the end. Will follow this one so I can understand more.

Nanking

Only problem is the fact that was between december 1937 and january 1938.

I think it's more about the second sino-japanese war in general, even thought that begun in july.

oh boy

In the navy, we'll sail the seven seas, in the navy, we'll put your mind at ease

Racing all around the seven seas
Chasing all the girls and making robberies
Causing panic everywhere they go
Party-hardy on Titanic

Sailing, sailing, jumping off the railing
Drinking, drinking, 'till the ship is sinking
Gambling, stealing, lots of sex-appealing
Come, let us sing the sailor-song

So if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just to sing we love you
And if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just for you

Nanking

During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Battle of Nanjing occured in December of 1937. The Nanjing Massacre or Rape of Nanjing occured the same month where Japanese forces systematically raped and murdered the residents of the city for six weeks.

The city of Nanjing is in southern China and has a warm climate. The story is set somewhere in the far north. Nan (Southern) Jing (Capital)

The vague date is meant not to imply an specific battle, war or event. I believe the story is about the young women of Japan with war being used as a symbolic setting.

Tallest girl and Shortest girl? I ship it.

Better than Hai Furi, should say.

My interest has been piqued. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.
