A mermaid’s protection, with a dangerous condition

Set in a seaside town, this manga pairs Hinako’s isolation and persistent sense of drowning with a supernatural threat that turns into an uneasy arrangement. A mermaid saves the high school student from a monster, but offers protection only until Hinako becomes the ideal meal. Hinako’s unexpected response shifts the setup away from a straightforward rescue: the central tension lies in the bond between a would-be predator and her intended prey. The first volume establishes that contradiction as the basis for a story about vulnerability, danger, and an unconventional relationship.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in supernatural stories set in a seaside town.
  • Readers drawn to relationships shaped by danger and an unusual power dynamic.
  • Those interested in stories featuring mermaids and monsters.

Book overview

Hinako, a high school student with a dark past, lives alone in a town by the sea. Haunted by a constant sensation of drowning, she can barely go through the motions of her tedious life...until the day a monster tries to eat her! After passing out in the struggle, she awakens to find she's been rescued by a beautiful mermaid. However, salvation comes at a cost--the mermaid's protection will last only until Hinako has matured into the perfect meal! Hinako's first instinct isn't to run or scream, though, and an unlikely relationship between monster and prey unfolds..."I've come to devour you."
