I was intrigued by the title.

Things I Like
- The exploration of the darker mermaid legend, since nowadays mermaids are more like fairies
Things That Could Be Improved
- Very slow to set-up
- Not really interested in the bittersweet high school romance aspect
- I can’t understand Mikane’s obsession, and kinda feel annoyed at him for ignoring the mermaid’s warnings
- They introduced a variety of sea slugs in the 10th chapter and it would be nice if they all had a mermaid version. Actually having more than one mermaid in the story would have made me more interested.
Verdict
So far it’s pretty meandering, and because I can’t really see where it’s going or wants to to go, I just am not very interested. The most interesting character is the professor who only just appeared. The highschoolers all seem pretty generic. Shame, I was expecting a mature story.
