Current art trend for Kashima (or Kancolle in general): We only have a handful of regular artist left who are dedicated to Kancolle, and tend to not follow latest/popular IP trends, some of them even exclusively for a particular character. So those artist tend to be less commercialized, and very dedicated to doujin as an art form, and some tend to only do SFW works. Between Comiket Kancolle receeding (circa 2019) and Blue Archive as mainstream (now), we have a very competitive period of moba, that cannot confirm any IP or character.
Alas, let see who is the poor girl next for 10 years.
Kashima can finally enjoy her retirement. Also poor Kei, being the main source of goon material will be a huge burden to shoulder. Though I still think the good equivalent to Kashima from BA is Mari since Mari is a good girl that constantly getting lewded by the fandom.
