The question in Akihabara last week was "would you drink your ship daughter's coolant water?" The KanColle anthropomorphic war ship phenomenon has inspired bottles of "Coolant Water" energy drink to be produced for sale in the otaku mecca with the Kotobukiya shop reportedly being the most reliable place to find them.
Selling for 200yen for a 500ml bottle of the blue drink, incentives include a sticker of destroyer girl Shigure for buying two, along with posters with the purchase of six... which meant that a good otaku had to purchase eight to get both.
Like most of her sisters in rain-named Shiratsuyu class of destroyers, "Shigure" translates translates to "drizzling rain in autumn," so, it seems like they were going for something cool and refreshing with the selection of this fleet girl... she was also one of the remarkly lucky ships.
