Information

Description

It is said that consuming the flesh of a mermaid can give you eternal youth, but the risk is high: numerous people have died or been disfigured for life as a result of eating it. The actual reward is also up for debate: death may overtake you, but thanks to infinite resurrection, you will live forever. Yuta, who had the dubious pleasure of such flesh 500 years ago and has kept his youthful appearance ever since has also learned this.

One day, he finds himself in a remote mountain village where, besides human girls, several old mermaids live. The latter regularly sacrifice one of their own to turn one of the girls into a mermaid and then feast on her. This time, it will be Mana, who has just turned 15. Yuta rescues her from her fate, and after the two manage to escape, Mana decides to accompany Yuta from then on. On his travels, he has, so far, unsuccessfully searched for a remedy against eternal life, and only time will tell whether the two can escape eternity.
Es heißt, der Konsum von Fleisch einer Meerjungfrau kann einem die ewige Jugend bescheren, doch das Risiko ist hoch: Zahlreiche Menschen sind aufgrund des Verzehrs gestorben oder wurden auf ewig entstellt. Über die eigentliche Belohnung lässt sich ebenfalls streiten: Der Tod kann einen zwar ereilen, doch dank endloser Auferstehung findet die eigene Existenz kein Ende. Das hat mittlerweile auch Yuta lernen müssen, der schon vor 500 Jahren in den zweifelhaften Genuss solchen Fleisches kam und seitdem sein junges Aussehen bewahrt hat.

Eines Tages verschlägt es ihn in ein abgelegenes Bergdorf, in dem neben menschlichen Mädchen auch etliche alte Meerjungfrauen hausen. Letztere opfern regelmäßig eine der ihren, um eine der Mädchen zu einer Meerjungfrau zu machen und sich anschließend an ihr zu laben. Dieses Mal soll es Mana treffen, die gerade erst 15 Jahre alt geworden ist. Yuta rettet sie vor ihrem Schicksal, und nachdem den beiden die Flucht gelungen ist, beschließt Mana, Yuta fortan zu begleiten. Auf seinen Reisen hat er bislang erfolglos nach einem Mittel gegen das ewige Leben gesucht, und nur die Zeit wird zeigen, ob die beiden der Ewigkeit entkommen können.
Texto de presentación:
Según una antigua leyenda, aquella persona que consiga comer carne de sirena será inmortal. Yuta y Mana son dos jóvenes que hace siglos comieron la mencionada carne y consiguieron esquivar a la muerte. Sin embargo, lo que podría ser una bendición se puede convertir en la peor de las maldiciones. Nuestros protagonistas quieren recuperar su mortalidad, pues es lo que da sentido a la vida. No obstante, conseguir la vida eterna es una tentación que atraerá a personas con intereses egoístas y que llevará a situaciones monstruosas..
