Improved, but still can't deploy...!

Harsh!

> Ido drawing a KanColle comic

It's been 3,000 years...

Is it just me or are the artists, that abandoned Kancolle for Umamusume, producing less Umamusume-art than they did with Kancolle?

The dude has been going his KC series for years, he's technically still on break as announced.

Only as of the last year, he just comes back when something comes to KC that gives him the itch to do an occasional comic, such as Souya.

I thought of hamu as well. He did one-hour-challenges on a daily basis. Then after a couple of Umamusumes ...

Yamato with her retinue.

Ido, nonco and bacius are all doing an Uma work for C100. I miss their KC stuff but after doing KC work for so long it's understandable they'd want a break. And Uma really is still the hottest thing around right now, despite it losing a bit of steam lately.

Yup, something like 700 circles at C100, especially with that whole no porn or else-thing it has going on, is pretty damn impressive. That is only a bit lower than Idolmaster, comparable to Touhou, is slightly higher than what both KC and TM have, and blows stuff like Genshin Impact, Azur Lane, and Love Live out of the water effortlessly. Sure, it is nothing compared to vTubers, but by this point, nothing can compete with vTubers. 

That Ooyodo face is speaking volumes like:

"You come back after abandoning us for months and the girl who has been waiting for years for her Kai Ni to actually fight asks for the opportunity, and you deny her of doing so? You trash"

Ido Admiral needs to step up his expedition game.

I almost can't blame Idomiral, you can sortie a whole fleet of 6 CAs for the cost of just her.

Almost. She's a still huge puppy dog who deserves to have some fun.

I mean, if you spent all the resources needed to upgrade her, you might as well have her blow some shit up.

bump for translation...

It's not even a day old, try having some patience. Translations are not an obligation.

Its very admirable to see this series continue. Theres a handful of series that fell off or have been on break for a year. I never liked kantai mechanically as a game but i love the community and seeing people stick to the world even if its waned overtime is nice. I think its all a testament to staying true and sticking with shipgirls in a seemingly endless war, full of battle and times of simple joy.

Thanks, @palesse very cool!

now it is...

I do make sure to say hi to Ido at every Comiket, and he has said that he's not going to stop doing Kantai stuff or anything - just that he did what he wanted to do with the long-form stories of the Thus Sprachen; so it's just short vignettes like this when it takes his fancy now. (I.e. you're very unlikely to get any more actual plot-comics.)

Please do tell him lotsa people are still rooting for him and his works, me included.
Short series will do just fine too.

I've suspected that was the case, but I'm still saddened to get confirmation.

Thank you for telling us, Paracite.

Hope you get to enjoy Comiket! Nasu, Wada, Chico Umino, AND ReDrop make me wish I could be there.

As long as I can get tickets - since it's lottery entry again, and there's no guarantee that I can get them.

Good luck. There are so many things I'd want to get if I was there.

Well, in worst case scenario she will become a nice Hotel Kai-2.

Sorry girl, the base broke res for this~

And now that Ido is a confirmed professional mangaka expect even less of anything from him.

That's great, in some ways. I'm glad Ido is doing well professionally, and maybe... "Queen's Academy" I guess it's called will get an official translation into other languages.

It's a little sad he'll probably have a lot less time for his old projects, but since this is his first KC comic in about half a year he was basically done with this series anyways.

Thats pure speculation, from what people are saying from what they hear from him, he has said that he's not going to stop doing Kantai stuff or anything - just that he did what he wanted to do with the long-form stories of the Thus Sprachen; so it's just short vignettes like this when it takes his fancy now.

From Ido's drawing stream at 1st July, when prompted if he still intends to do Kancolle works. He said that he has been doing kancolle stuff for so long that he's stumped about what to draw anymore, he's considering if he should just do works whenever event/cute girls kanmusu comes out. There is no direct statement from him stating that he intends to stop it though.
