Description

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

Advance Praise

"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
