Synopsis

In 2071, North Pole's ice have melted and the land has been submerged. Humanity survived but it's divided into two species: the true humans, those who live in underwater cities, and the Dugons, those who chose to undergo genetic modification to live in the sea. Both species go to war to survive as long as the Dugons consider the humans good to eat.

To defend against the Dugons, the city of Mari Ramelle builds a new kind of weapon, the mermaid robot, Salacia. Because of the small size of the the pilot cabin, the robot is piloted by a girl and a boy, both 13 years old: Marin Yuuki and Ushio Mizushiro. The fight for survival is hard, and during the manga, the city builds more mermaid robots.

This is... Bad. Very bad. Poor story, execution and art and one of the worst manga I have read in a while. Oh did I mention explicit fan service of children.

Story - 1
The basic concept might have had weight if written by... Anyone else. An us vs them and child soldiers OK. But it's dished out by exposition, explaining things in very silly manners. It's just set dressing to get literal children naked.

Art - 1
Boring, flat, poor direction. This combined with it's amateur quality gives it it's low score. I thought about giving it a 2 for it's robots, which have at least some design ...

If you like mechs and child army plots, maybe you will be able to look past the awful pandering premise to get something meaningful out of the story and its art. Personally, I would have to say this one isn't worth a look. There are far better series out there that deliver on that premise much better. This one is barely glorified porn.

The lore of the world has the potential to be interesting, but it's ultimately insignificant in the long run. The characters are one-note, the exposition carries no weight and feels more like a bad joke, and each chapter is a poorly set up ...
