Back in 2013, Kadokawa Games decided to create a game called Kantai Collection (艦隊これくしょん, lit: Fleet Collection), which is a free to play browser game. It is basically a card battle game that involves war ships personified as cute girls.

For a moment there, Fubuki thought she was going to be alone with a group of girls that won’t get along.

If the last episode was any indication, it seems that everyone got shuffled around. Unfortunately for Fubuki, she finds herself in a fleet where nobody could get along. Can she turn it around or is it a lost cause?
