📖 SYNOPSIS

Driven by a desire to become human again, he travels across Japan in search of mermaids, believing they hold the key to his transformation. His journey leads him to a group of mermaids who are raising a young girl to consume her flesh and maintain their youth. Yuta intervenes, killing the mermaids and rescuing the girl, Mana, who has already eaten some of the flesh.
