Description

Blurb:
Legend has it that if a human eats a mermaid’s flesh, they will be granted eternal life. But is that a blessing or a curse? Immortal lovers Yuta and Mana travel through Japan and the centuries longing for a normal life. On their journey, they meet others who have consumed the flesh of a mermaid in hope of becoming immortal. But the powerful substance affects each person differently. Yuta and Mana are two of the lucky ones. Others are fated to die or transform into a savage monster, a "lost soul." Mermaid Forest contains three of Takahashi’s uniquely macabre mermaid tales, A Mermaid Never Smiles, The Village of the Fighting Fish, and Mermaid Forest. Each revolves around Yuta, who wanders for hundreds of years, seeking a mermaid to cure him of his immortality.
Laut einer alten Legende wird demjenigen, der von dem Fleisch einer Meerjungfrau isst, Unsterblichkeit gewährt. Dies geschieht jedoch nur sehr selten, es besteht eine viel größere Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass der Konsument sterben wird oder aber sich in eine verdammte Kreatur verwandeln wird, bekannt als eine „verlorene Seele“. Mermaid Saga erzählt die Geschichte von Yuta, einem Unsterblichen, der seit 500 Jahren durch Japan reist und solche trifft, deren Leben vom Fleisch der Meerjungfrau zerstört wurden.
