Arpeggio of Blue Steel #17

Volume 17 of Ark Performance's naval manga series presents a striking cover portrait of a blue-haired, bespectacled young woman in a white naval uniform, her calm confidence perfectly offset by the detailed line-art of a massive warship looming in the background. The combination of the soft character design against the mechanical precision of the vessel's superstructure captures exactly the tone that has made *Arpeggio of Blue Steel* such a compelling series. Fans of the franchise and newcomers alike will find plenty to draw them in with this 2021 Seven Seas Entertainment edition.
