Story Synopsis:
“I’ve come to eat you.” So softly utters the mermaid Shiori as she emerges from the sea and takes high school girl Hinako by the hand. Hinako, who lives alone in a seaside town, possesses an unusually delicious body that is irresistible to nearby monsters.
To ensure that she matures to the best condition, Shiori vows to protect her—all so that one day, she can devour every piece of her. As this looming, unjust fate approaches, what will become of Hinako’s feelings?
Sai Naekawa first launched the manga in Kadokawa’s Dengeki Maoh magazine in 2020. Kadokawa published the first compiled volume in 2021 and released the ninth volume on October 25.
