Series Synopsis
There’s a
legend going around. Should a person eat the flesh of a mermaid, they will be granted
immortality and eternal youth. Many have sought out these mythical
creatures hoping to receive this gift. Unfortunately, few realize the great risk one must take upon consumption.
To the vast
majority of people, mermaid flesh is exceedingly poisonous; with death being
almost instantaneous. And if you’re lucky, that's the merciful fate you will get. Another
equally possible and horrific side effect involves the person turning into a carnivorous
monster with no ounce of humanity left. Only on the absolute rarest of occasions will someone survive and obtain immortality.
One such
person is Yuta (voiced by Koichi Yamadera) who has now live for 500 years; alone. Over the centuries, Yuta has been on a journey to find another mermaid.
He heard that a mermaid is the only thing that can give him what he desires
most, a chance to grow old and die a natural death.
On his
travels, Yuta saves a young girl named Mana (voiced Minami Takayama) from a pack
of mermaids who wished to devour her in order to regain their youth. Like Yuta,
Mana was also able to survive consuming mermaid flesh and has been given
immortality. However, Mana has been kept isolated from the outside world, so she decides to join Yuta
on his quest.
