Maybe Akagi has a...trauma in the past? Seems to me there's something going on BEFORE things became like this. Still hot tho and yet no less depressing. Damn. They have angst attached to their lives indeed.

Perhaps, we'll never know though xD

Why is there almost always some kind of tragic undercurrent with this pairing? Don't see much with other parings if at all.

We don't see this kind of thing with other pairings is because they're not as popular and/or 'important'. As in throughout the anime we see how Akagi is more or less irreplaceable, so it's kind of natural, plus I wouldn't be surprised if historically there is something as well.

Maybe she pushes her away/denys the love because they battle...never knowing if you'll survive, but knowing how hurt the other would be if you didn't??
Again I dont like the arrangement in this story, but luv the pairing :)

Well, Midway, I guess. In the real WWII battle the carriers Akagi and Kaga were fatally damaged and ended being sunk by their own destroyers escorts. And that was the beginning of the end for the IJN.
Wich is a plot point in the Kancolle anime. (Oh, boy, that week waiting to see what would happen was pure torture!!!)

By the way, I liked the Kancolle anime. Sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but worth the watch.

Ooi, in VERY posessive lesbian mode is awesome. (And BADASS).
Mutsu and Nagato are pure LOVE.
I would have loved to see more Akaga, maybe in the second season.

Yes! The anime was cool, could definately see the subte,t even without goggles ^_^

what we wish they were really doing on that bath scene on the anime....

Well, it seems like there will be a Kantai movie sometime next year, besides the second season (which still has no release date).

Given that the B stands for Bondage....

And it seems like that's the only part that ever gets tagged. Im not saying that it's not a part of it but there's also the *DSM (Dominance/ Submission, Sadism/ Masochism) which rarely seems present in the Mangas I've seen with the tag thus far.

It's rare on the site as well. Can't think of too many, especially ones that don't involve bondage.

Yeah. Pity . . . I mean, they don't have to go big time paraphernalia all over the place, but f'rinstance, what's wrong with a nice juicy little spanking? You can't tell me that wouldn't be an apt response to some of the spoiled-brat characters getting shipped.
Sigh. When I am king of the world, Amazume Ryuuta will have a royal commission to do a Yuri "Nana to Kaoru" type story.
