Please discuss the featured one-shot here.

Did you enjoy it? Was it too short for your taste? What did you think of the characters or story line? Hope that it becomes more than a one-shot? Anything like this happen to you? Etc. Have fun with it :)

it was funny, i didn't like how seemingly emotionless the main character was though, she was like an alien watching some human interaction or something.

There are people like that, though.
If it wasn't a one-shot, she may have melted later.

I thought it was pretty cute.
I like the artist, it's somehow..fluffy. :D

I think that was the irony of the story. The apparent "weirdo", the one who likes to lie in the rain and jokes about being a mermaid exhibited more human attributes to her personality like happiness and heartbreak.

That's why the main character was attracted to her--she herself had been so taciturn about relationships and falling in love that when she meets the other girl, it's as though this whole world that she was never aware about opened up to her, though very slowly.

I like how Otsu Hiyori manages to make something sensual without having her characters strip down/be naked/be all over one another. I think one of the sexiest scenes in the one shot was where the girl lightly pressed her lips against her hand where the teacher had touched her.

And aw, it ends on such an optimistic note too. Maybe they will become more than friends someday

At first I was so happy, I like teacher x student stories, but this was sad...
Though it's amazing what she did with the bucket...

Haha, when I read "a self-proclaimed mermaid" I thought it was going to be some sort of magic girl, and I was like "urk".

Too good it wasn't like that.
It was a sad yet sweet story.
Mizuno is so cute (:
And I can imagine her and Saki together.
Maybe Saki fell for her, only she didn't realize it :P

This was really interesting but it left me feeling unsatisfied by the end. Even though Mizuno received some closure for her unrequited love, there just wasn't much closure for me to feel like it ended.

Otsu Hiyori's manga has this as a big feature of it. Most of it centres around the bittersweetness of being in love, falling in love, or not being able to experience it in some way or another.

Otsu's an excellent mangaka and an amazing storyteller. I always get involved with how he/she can twist and turn the plot in really, really simple and yet profound ways.

I think the one shot was satisfactory. It would be nice to have a follow up, which is something I don't really care for with most one shots, but it would be cool to see it from the "mermaid" girl's POV perhaps after she chopped her hair off. So we can see whether the other girl is really starting to fall in love with her or not.

I thought it was cute how they became good friends through that experience. I have a feeling that Mizuno would end up being the bully throughout the relationship. You saw how she played that little prank on Ooishi. Or maybe that was just a little payback for soaking her.

Oh my, so adorable. I love one shots like this! Simplicity made into a truly lovely story, with bits of humor to help carry it along.

Thanks for featuring this. :D
