is Grim having some sort of unconditional hatred towards anyone from Sakura Empire? I thought at least lolis will be safe from him. with exception of little Akagi, of course. since she's not destroyer, and not adult like.

It was mentioned previously Grim doesn't like almost anyone. Even Hornet was envious that Akagi-chan made friends with him when she herself still can't.
You'd think he'd add another BB Kaga and Enterprise-chan bit in between.
And that's what would have happened, but Amagi-chan was released this year.
When I started this comic, I already had Akagi-chan's story outlined and finalized. The original outline was pretty loose so I could make changes if I needed to, and I had no idea if Bel-chan/Akagi-chan/Zeppy/Hiei-chan/Lil Sandy/Clevelad/Lena were the end of it or if they were going to release more such characters. I also originally had no plan to include BB Kaga but her inclusion (along with Little E) was on-the-fly right after Little Renown and Little Illustrious were announced. I figured a third such little character would be introduced during that time (there was like two weeks between Little Renown and Little Illustrious) and I guessed it would have been Little Enterprise. I was correct, but I was off by a year. (I went from Hao's Little Enterprise design but gave myself enough room to adjust her outfit if Yostar went with a different design. This wasn't prescient on my part at all. Little Enterprise and Little Grim eventually showing up was the safest bet I could possibly have made.)
What I wasn't expecting was Amagi-chan. She came right out of left field, and had it been any other ship in the game I probably would have ignored her to keep the story going. But no, Yostar decided to introduce the one character who would have created the greatest disruption for a comic that is basically centered around Akagi, her miniature self, along with elder Amagi working in the background. For western players, Amagi is the most cherished character in the entire franchise and when her smaller counterpart debuted, I really didn't have any choice but to figure out how to work her into the story in a manner that suits her best.
So that's why the return trip was pretty much skipped over (I had planned for at least 4 of the 4-panel comics to cover the return). From these, they (Akagi-chan, Big E, Bismarck, Hood) wouldn't have encountered BB Kaga or Little E on their return trip, which is what a lot of readers were expecting. Maybe they'll be completed and featured in the print collection if I ever get to that.

Hopefully that does happen,because it would be amazing to see how it all ties together.
