Damn it, it's like the end of Star Wars all over again. I don't want it to end. ;_;

The-th-th-the-th- That's all, folks!

Whew, those last few posts were an absolute tagging nightmare. (Someone double-check those tags, there's no way I didn't miss a dozen...)

Also, is it just me, or did Inazuma, who was such a primary character throughout most of this series, do approximately jack this last final battle? Shiranui, too, for that matter.

I was honestly expecting a more climactic final battle against some giant "final boss" monster, honestly, but Tenryuu's "LOL I has a seaplane equipped" at least gets the super-happy "nobody but the uncute died" ending. (For that matter, what happened to Ri?)

Oh, and thanks to all the translators for pushing this one to the finish line!

hmm.... maybe i wish to much for ending so now that i feel wanna have some more :(

The artists note talks about giving people a happy ending, so he made one.

But hey, of no one's translated his horrible handwriting by the time I get home, I'll get this done before I hit they hay. Soo... Start translation in about 5 hours. Probably take 4 to finish.

And then I never have to do this a again. I'll miss scary-eyes Tone.

Rejoice! Tonda said in the commentary of chapter 19 that he'd still do side-stories after finishing this main story up, so you'll probably see a bit more scary-eye-Tone. You haven't escaped from the translatium mines yet!

(Honestly, I'm kind of wondering how decommissioned Battleship-Symbiotic-Wife is going to take Tenryuu and Inazuma being functional wives...)

Okay, took a little more than 4 hours. But hey, it's done!

And Holy crap, this whole series was 1211 posts? That's like, a 1/3 of all the translations I've ever done here. But what a fun ride!

And to think, I could be spending this time doing... something else? Nah. Translation is fun!

Daily life at the base time I hope

Bite me, but I didn't really like this last arc, felt like a rushed way to wrap things up, but oh well, the journey was enjoyable as heck so I can get over that. Thanks Tonda for making this and to the translators who worked on this series. Time for those side-stories.

I want to see an epilogue (and what ship the wife ends up as)

I'm more interested in whatever happened to Ri. I'd love to see her take control of the remaining Abyssals and attempt revenge now that Battleship Princess and the Abyssal Admiral are gone.

I bet she comes back as Yamato. I mean, honestly. Who else would you rather she come back as?

Thank you so much for translating this wonderful story Paracite!

While cool, the ending was rather... anticlimactic. And they didn't show who the mom became! Yeah, it's probably Yamato. Or what if it was Kongou? >_>

I guess if there's side stories, it'll get better.

Annoyed a little bit at not have a full ending... felt a bit rushed at the end and not knowing for sure about the mom.

For some reason I keep thinking the mom will be a drop to the brother Admiral since he was actually in charge of the fleet...

A few pages missing TLs (poat# 1856533) but yeah it looks like a crazy ride hit a pause. Thanks for the TL paracite.

Hey, that was added after I was done!

What a fun series. Thanks for the hard work translator

Oh hey, I just realised the picture changed from post #1744616!

Come on, Tonda. Take your time, but this screams for a Second season.

The end of the war? The wife? Will the other Matzuda be happier with a fleet of destroyers? What will Chiyohiko do? Is she really sane?

Noticed that too...anyone got an ID on the flower or is it some generic thing?

Look like a Camellia(in Japanese it call Tsubaki) like the name of their daughter.
Christmas Camellia

Good story, weak ending. Heres to hoping the side stories turn into "sequel" stories.
