Shipgirls: The Tree Planted in the Port

Ten years ago, the arrival of the Abyssals took the oceans and skies away from humanity. Shipgirls, young women who possess the memories and combat abilities of historical warships, became one of humanity's few remaining hopes of standing against the Abyssals. Xia Liang was an engineering PhD and a casual Kantai Collection player in the real world. But after an accident aboard a transoceanic flight, he unexpectedly transmigrated to another world protected by shipgirls, becoming the version of himself who had been gravely wounded by the Abyssals there. At the naval base in Piran Harbor, he is the admiral, close friend, and even husband of hundreds of shipgirls. Newly recovered from a serious illness, he hopes to quietly observe this world under the pretense of having lost his memory. But amid the shipgirls' smiles and memories, he gradually gets drawn into one sweet, lively, and even turbulent day-to-day life after another. Ten years have passed, and the trees have grown thick. This time, he won't leave again.
