This Monster Wants to Eat Me

Hinako lives a solitary life by the ocean, still adrift years after losing her family. One day, a mermaid named Shiori rescues her from a strange creature and calmly explains that she plans to eat her-but not right away. Until then, Shiori promises to stay with her and protect her. For the first time in a long while, Hinako feels something stir inside her: perhaps this mermaid can give her the closure she’s been longing for.
