Mermaid Saga Collector's Edition, Vol. 2

Manga legend Rumiko Takahashi's classic horror series about mermaid flesh and immortality!

They say that if one consumes mermaid flesh, one can attain immortality. Unfortunately, the more likely result includes becoming horribly deformed or turning into a vicious monster! Even if one were to gain eternal life, however, is such an anomaly a lucky blessing or a terrible curse?

Immortals Yuta and Mana continue to come across people who are dealing with the consequences of having eaten mermaid flesh. Some are scarred, in excruciating pain or just trying to survive, but they all lead mysterious lives filled with unspeakable horror. Is one’s humanity doomed to be lost in exchange for immortality?

A deluxe collector's edition of manga legend Rumiko Takahashi's horror series about mermaid flesh and immortality! Releases 2 times a year for 2 volumes. Series ends at 2. The old edition of this series has been out of print, so longtime fans and collectors will look forward to this new release! These compiled editions have all-new deluxe cover designs, some color pages, and are presented at a larger trim size. The Mermaid Saga series was animated in Japan (as a 13-episode TV series and as 2 separate OAVs). DVD for the TV series was released in North America through Geneon. Creator Rumiko Takahashi was inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame in 2018. In 2019, she won the prestigious Grand Prix de la ville d’Angoulême. She is one of the best-loved manga creators of all time, popular since the onset of the manga boom with hits like Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2.

"Rumiko Takahashi’s closest thing to a pure horror series, Mermaid Saga is a well-executed mix of gory horror and pseudo-folklore… Yuta’s unresolved quest to become human again is similar to Anne Rice’s vampire novels or the Highlander movies…but the characters are usually too busy dealing with the terrors at hand to dwell on their misfortune." —Jason Thompson, Manga: The Complete Guide
