If you've ever tried to herd cats, then you'll know what it must feel like to be the main male character. The show exists entirely of two-episode-long stand alone stories, all of which involve the main female character, Mana, running off on her own, getting killed, coming back to life, and finding someone else who is looking for/has eaten/knows about mermaid flesh. The new character's problems then become Mana and the dude's problems until the end of the two episodes. Rinse, wash, repeat. Unless you love InuYasha, stay away... far away...--Andyscout 23:40, 19 April 2007 (PDT)

Who knew Japan was full of so many mermaids and homicidal maniacs? Wait... weren't the mermaids supposed to be RARE? Daniella 21:16, 21 April 2007 (PDT)

You have to feel sorry for Yuta. You really do. Every girl he meets ends up dying horridly, and in Mana's case, dying horridly multiple times. Also: I didn't know this had been made an anime, considering Takahashi goes back to it from time to time still. I prefer the manga version. --Shannon Berry
