Synopsis

Twenty-five-year-old Hino struggles to find the motivation to work after resigning from a company job a year prior, and the consequences of his unwillingness have landed him in a bleak situation. To find his next meal, he scavenges the shore, which was recently ravaged by a typhoon. What he finds instead is a bigger catch—an injured mermaid who has washed ashore.

Despite his current predicament, Hino decides to nurse the young mermaid back to health until she can return to the ocean. As the two learn more about each other, the peculiar yet heartwarming relationship they develop may just be the colorful change Hino needs to welcome into his dull life.

I just saw the cover while searching for something small to read and had the thought "I need to read it! NOW!". Just by the cover. The art style looked so fluffy and cute. Got me hocked in the firs second. The same works for all the character. The girl is so unbelievably cute and sadly I can relate to the main character ^^'
It made me so sad the see the little mermaid crying, broke my heart.
I really would like to see a second part because the ending kind of left me spoiled. I just love the art and would like to see more of ...
