Briar's Reviews

Dark, fantastical manga. It's a must read for fantasy lovers who want to dip into the manga genre. 

This horrific collection will have you looking at mermaids a little differently. Our leads needs to hunt down a mermaid to become normal again, but it's not going to be easy. These immortals will go on a fantastic adventure to become mortal and normal again, but there's no way to confirm their success. 

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and VIZ for providing me a free copy of this manga in exchange of an honest review.
