Goodreads Synopsis:
The mermaid prince is super-popular with all the girls lining up to be his bride. But the one he falls in love with...has legs!
Review:
Naru is a mermaid prince, and he's obsessed with this pretty girl on
land. He often come to the surface in order to watch her, and after
saving her from drowning, he makes a deal with a witch to become
human. Instead of giving away his voice like Ariel did, he gives away
some of his good looks. So now he looks like a typical teen boy when
he goes to meet the girl he believes he loves. Only, upon first
meeting, she hates him.
This is definitely a shonen take on the Little Mermaid story. It
sounded good, but some of the humor was very much a guys'.
I'm a little iffy on this series. I really like the idea behind it,
and some of the characters were okay, but it didn't really grab me in
this volume. I kind of want to read more, I kind of have my doubts
about how much I'll like it. But maybe it'll get better?
