Artist's commentary:

Title: A giant anomaly walks in the sea
They called the mysterious event that happened near the shore of the bay the Rokou Incident.
It began with a report: "There's a huge monster on the water!" It was a report that by all rights should have been treated like a prank, but before 10 seconds had passed identical reports began pouring in from across the area, and within two minutes the line had been broken up.
They were all garbled messages from patrols confirming the presence of a "giant thing that looked alive," and 20 minutes had passed since the initial report before headquarters was able to send out an observation plane and secure video footage of the "monster."
It was not only huge, but no one knew what it was, which meant the most mere humans could do was traffic control.
And so, with huge crowds monitoring it, the creature progressed slowly east, and after it had gone 30 kilometers it disappeared, as in a puff of smoke.
Though the number of sightings was high, there had been nearly no damage to buildings or ships, and because there had been no direct damage to humans, people began to wonder if it had been not a living creature but an unidentified natural phenomenon, like a rainbow.
This tourist photograph captured the giant by accident. It is too big even to fit into the frame.
