Synopsis of Azur Lane
When the "Sirens", an extraterrestrial force with an arsenal that far surpasses current technology, suddenly appeared, a divided humanity supported each other for the first time in history. Four countries, Eagle Union, Royal Navy, Sakura Empire and Iron Blood, formed "Azur Lane", paving the way for the improvement of modern warfare, which led to a first victory against the common threat. However, this tenuous union was threatened by two opposing ideals, dividing the alliance in two and fragmenting humanity again.
As a seasoned fighter, Enterprise, nicknamed the "Grey Ghost," carries the "Azur Lane" on his shoulders in hopes of ending the war. But behind her personalized stoics hides a fragile girl, afraid of the ocean. Yet she continues to fight because she believes it is the only purpose of her existence.
