Opinion: Absolutely fucking gorgeous. Golden down to even the smallest detail. Love it.
Okay, Lots to say. Evyione, like the water? Got that out there. Kay.
Love this. I would have never thought to see it the other way around. It’s really got me thinking about how we percieve love through characters because although I would LIKE to see her end up with Merman, I don’t think the other guys are half bad. In the Disney movie, I’d throw a bitch if the guy ended up with someone else… WHICH HE DOES. -in the original book-
-Warning-
This story is following the original story of the Little Mermaid far too closely for my liking. I’ve never been so apprehensive about an ending before. Will she follow through to the end? Or change half way through. Personally… a change would be nice.
I love the dresses. And the drawings. Oh my god. As a fan of Marie Antoinette I LOVE THIS. And princesses. Hee hee. How exciting! Although I do think this series was just an excuse for the author to draw poofy dresses, I approve.
Final Rating: 5/5
Extra: Good: it’s licensed Bad: it’s licensed by Udon. Now, Udon has good translations and all, but finding a place to buy their stuff is RIDICULOUSLY HARD. They come to conventions but have no time to sell Manhwa, since they are too busy WHORING Street Fighter. Not impressed. So although you can buy it on Amazon, there isn’t much hope. As well they are dangerously close to becoming extinct due to STUPIDITY. Anyways. I want to buy this so if someone can find a store in Canada selling it please let me know! :D Free cookies!
