Azur Lane

In a world threatened by mysterious alien warships known as Sirens, humanity's last hope lies with Azur Lane, an elite naval fleet comprised of anthropomorphic warships representing various nations. These 'Shipgirls' must band together to fight the Siren threat, uncovering the secrets of their enemy and the devastating history that led to their creation. The story follows Akagi, a zealous member of the Sakura Empire, and Enterprise, a dedicated and powerful fighter from the Eagle Union, as they lead the charge against the encroaching darkness.
