“This is a slightly peculiar world where the shipgirls live in. A lively and enjoyable school life for girls from different factions will begin at the naval port of Azur Lane. Living out their lives to the fullest, these girls get into various shenanigans—slowly but surely!”
The anime is based on Hori’s Azur Lane Bisoku Zenshin! manga. Hori started the manga in April 2018 on the franchise’s official Twitter account and on Ichijinsha’s Azur Lane website. Ichijinsha published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in June 2019 and the fifth in September 2025.
