A quick and easy read. Beautiful graphics that really captivate you. Plot was lacklustre at times but the atmosphere often made up for what the plot was lacking.
3 Stars!
The cover and the title of this manga were the main reason why I found myself being very intrigued by it. The story itself was short, sweet, hopeful and interesting in general, but I was so confused by the short stories. In my opinion they didn’t have much to do with the stories, which started many pages later that I had no idea where everything was going. I also thought that this was going to be a part of several volumes. Turns out it was just a one story, with a happy ending, naturally.
The art style was very pretty too.
Overall, I enjoyed reading Mermaid Prince, despite it making me confused a lot of times, but I loved the ending of the story.
The way that children are represented in this book is weird, which is a shame because it had a lovely art style.
This was a very good one volume story, that talks about the difficulties of not finding one's own place.
For fans of Shimanami Tasogare and anything mermaidy.
Drawings are very good, not my favorite, but definitely on the better side.
This was very much not my cup of tea.
The art was fine, but the stories were odd and random. Truthfully, the first one was the worst and prejudiced me against the rest. Which were probably find, but needlessly angsty and whiny for my taste.
(I would have liked the middle one except for the depressing bit.)
One quibble about the art. The female MCs all looked very similar, so I didn't realize at first that the second story was completely different.
3.5 stars. Life will find a way, but often the journey is bittersweet.
This short story collection would have felt stronger with one or two more stories included. The three that were included, however, were intriguing reads with impactful art. If you’re interested in slice of life with a dollop of angst and the fantastic, this is for sure worth a read, especially if you’re already a fan of Kaori Ozaki’s work.
Thank you but no thank you at the same.l time, NetGalley for an advanced ARC of this Manga novel
I first looked at the cover and name thinking this would be a fun adorable read but how wrong was of
I read the full book but I do not recommend this Manga at all.
⚠️ Trigger warnings ⚠️
* Talk of under-aged girls being touched up
* A dream scenario of a high school student stripping off and offering herself to a teacher as a lover
* sexual advances and also sex forced on a child ( telling her to close and cover her eyes it will be over soon) by another student
* A high school girl ripping her underwear apart and bragging about going around with no underwear on
Nothing after these parts in the book which is in the first story made the story better...
I don't hand out 1 star often but this is the lowest I can go on here...
