Nov 06, 2020InuYasha is a staple in manga collections, and its popularity may inspire people to buy this story. Buyer beware - this is very different than most everything else that Takahashi has written. This story is very dark, and a lot more violent than her other stories. Your first indication is just how many times characters talk about eating the flesh of a mermaid. In this story, mermaids are not always the beautiful creatures that we often see if folktales. They can turn into ugly, bug-eyed monsters with sharp teeth and nasty claws. The individual stories presented are also a little separate from each other. Some may be a flashback to Yuta's past, then the next chapter, you're back with Yuta and Mana. This is more a collection of tales than a traditional manga where each chapter follows the last sequentially. Read Full Review
