With this I think this shipgirl will sadly have the same fate like Kashima.

Hatakaze... she's the only Parsley designed ship girl for this event...
thought I'm still contending who will get the most lewds by the end of the event
Richelieu and Hatakaze seem to be on the same line... maybe both of them will get a fair share of lewd artworks by the end

Definetly no. Hatakaze is Kashima v2 and she will be for sure most popular shipgirl with lewds from this event. There is no doubt about that. Richelieu will be soon forgotten I believe.

Is there a reason why artists immediately latch on to her like a second coming of Kashima?

...is it the curls?

Basically she is Kashima with a ponytail.

Her damaged art, I guess.

It must be...
They're... so tempting...

And soon, you're going to make a "Hatakaze is a good girl" meme, or something similar.

Harukaze's was fairly similar, though, but it didn't take off like Kashima...
