HUMANITY'S LAST HOPE
It's been seventeen long years since the Fleet of Fog―a mysterious, unmanned fleet of powerful vessels that appeared out of nowhere―took control of the oceans, barring humanity from traveling between continents or islands. During those years, people the world over have dreamed of a revolt that would let them take back the seas, but there's been no hope―until now.
A weapon powerful enough to damage the Fog's vessels has finally been invented, and there's just one way of getting the critical information and prototypes from Japan to America, where the weapon can produced! The submarine I-401, with its humanoid avatar―a "mental model" named Iona, who's taken the shape of a young girl―was once part of the Fleet of Fog, but has chosen to side with humanity. 
Now captained by Chihaya Gunzo and his crew, the I-401 is the only ship under human control that can move freely through the seas. But she answers only to her captain, and he answers to no one.

HOME SWEET HOME?
The I-401 and her intrepid crew, captained by Chihaya Gunzo, have escaped the trap set for them by the Fleet of Fog outside their home port of Yokosuka. Successfully returning home after two years away should be a triumphant occasion, but there are those who think otherwise. In fact, if they have their way, they will take the I-401―along with her mental model, Iona―away from Gunzo entirely and bring her back under government control.
Human politicians aren't the only players with rival factions. The ships of the Fleet of Fog have very different ideas about how to pursue the I-401, and what to do once they've located her. Worse, some are just as interested in Gunzo himself as they are in his ship!
Yet all these forces have failed to reckon with Gunzo's determination to control his own destiny, or with Iona's willingness to join him wherever he leads!

For fans of Attack on Titan, a near-future series where humanity's hope lies in creating a human superweapon. In the early 21st century, the majority of Earth’s landmass is submerged due to rising sea levels. Enter the Fleet of Fog, a host of sentient alien battleships of unknown origin who easily decimate earth’s naval forces. Humanity is now on the verge of extinction. In the year 2039, the stalwart Captain Chihaya Gunzou and his intrepid crew on the Blue Steel fleet may be humanity’s last chance to fight off the alien invaders. The Blue Steel fleet happens to contain a secret weapon that could turn the tide of war: a mysterious I-401 submarine that can transform into a girl.

ENEMY UNKNOWN
The Fog battleships Haruna and Kirishima have been destroyed through the combined efforts of the I-401 and the Japanese government's "White Whale" sub, and the port of Yokosuka is safe-but the same can't be said for the I-401. While still damaged from the battle, the 401 comes face to face with a Fog submarine that Iona doesn't recognize, and it's not exactly friendly!
Back on land, Haruna, the mental model of the destroyed ship, is found by Osakabe Makie. The mental model and the precocious human child strike up an unlikely friendship, and Haruna learns that there's far more to Makie than meets the eye.

THE UNLIKELIEST OF FRIENDS
The mansion where Professor Osakabe and Makie live is under attack, and nobody is happy about it: not the government, not the residents, and not even the attacking soldiers, who find themselves face to face with Haruna and learn firsthand that even without their battleships, the Fog's mental models are a force to be reckoned with!
Haruna's world has been turned upside down since the I-401 destroyed her and Kirishima's battleships. She's learned that Osakabe Makie has also become her friend. And now Haruna is quickly learning the meaning of both "friendship" and "loss"-concepts she's never had to grapple with before.

An all-new science fiction manga epic about how the fate of humanity against alien invaders lies in the hands of one unique girl... and an unstoppable military weapon LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON
Alliances and subterfuge are the order of the day! Japan’s military, anxious to prevent the the sentient submarine 401 from leaving for the United States, takes desperate action. What they haven’t banked on is Gunzou and his crew getting help from two Fog ships: Hyuga, who’s kept the 401 in good repair and maintained the crew’s base of operations, and the opportunistic Takao, who’s allied herself with them in pursuit of her own goals.
On the other side of the world, Gunzou’s father-the 401 ’s former captain, Chihaya Shouzou–supported by the Musashi and other likeminded Fog vessels, announces a new approach for making Earth’s oceans once again safe for humanity and Fog alike, but under his authority. Gunzou has plans of his own for bringing peace to the world, if only Japan can be persuaded to go along with them…
