More I see of his comics, more I think admiral Shino as a fatherly figure to Akebono. Without Admiral Shino, Akebono would be a loner and marked as a liar. She is tsun to everybody and never honest to herself. Because of his "trolling" and public humiliation, the shipgirls get to know the true side of Akebono and become friends with her. Admiral Shino might get a little pleasure from seeing Akebono's embarrassed face, but everything he had done so far was for her own good.
Can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans shino puts early summer Akebono through.
Oho? Akebono~?Since it's your day off, the Admiral said it'd be fine for you to sleep in here, yeah?Whatwhat?
So embarrassed that yer safety switch tripped, hmm? It's fine, right~?
Since we're all here~I was surprised you know!
When I woke up, Akebono-chan was sleeping after all.
