Azur Lane April Fools’ Prank Is a Visual Novel Starring Baltimore that Should Totally Happen

It’s that time of the year again, and developers are having fun while bringing a much-needed smile to their fans. The popular shipgirl-focused mobile game Azur Lane is no exception. 

Today Yostar released a video showcasing a romantic visual novel starring our favorite shipgirls. More precisely, it focuses on a recent fan-favorite, Baltimore. 

It pretty much looks like exactly what you expect from any romantic visual novel. Only, it isn’t real.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be real. I’d totally pay to play it, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. 

You can check it out below.

If you’re unfamiliar with Azur Lane, it’s is a free-to-play mobile horizontal scrolling shooter/RPG hybrid currently available for iOS and Android.
