@NexusLight2004 Haruna's not a fleet carrier, she's a Fast Battleship herself. That appears to be Haruna's (or possibly the Kongou class's) own reading material, not one she borrowed from Akagi.

Crap! I forgot Haruna was the one with the book, not Akagi. My bad.

@NexusLight2004 As you may notice in the above link, Akagi's reading choices are bizarre at the best of times.

That being said, what Haruna is reading apparently translates to "Four Pillars of Fire: The Battle Records of Fast Battleships". So she's either doing a a history lesson, reading about her shipself's exploits, or reading about her sisters' exploits as warships. It is indeed a real book.

...In the words of Tucker from Red vs. Blue: “That makes sense.”

Why would she read a book that’s about Battleships when she’s a Aircraft Carrier?

I can’t think of any sane being saying, “Yes. I would like to read a manga that helps me understand the contents of a book written by a madman who started the Second World War and attempted to wipe out nearly all Jewish people in Europe.”

BTW, what’s that Yonhon no Hibashira book Haruna has about?

Wow. Understanding Mein Kampf through Manga. That's... that's a tall order.

That made more sense than Akagi reading it, given the other books in that drawer.

Akagi's book title was expanded/altered in panel 1 and deleted in panel 4, and the motion lines to Haruna's left in panel 2 were deleted.
