I received a copy from Vertical Comics through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The first time Aioto fell in love, he remembered his past life as a mermaid princess who gave everything up for a chance at love. Things didn’t end well for the mermaid princess, but now that he’s human, he’s determined not to suffer the same fate. Love’s a curse, and in Aioto’s case, he loses his voice and walking is incredibly painful every time he’s in Toru’s presence. Will he find a way to break the curse or swear off love forever?
I’ve always been a huge fan of The Little Mermaid, so of course I had to pick up this retelling! We follow Aioto as he tries to figure out how to break the curse he’s carried with him into his first life as a human. Along the way, we get to know him, his close friend and roommate, and of course Toru! I enjoyed watching them get to know each other and eventually watch Aioto come to terms with the trauma that his very soul has been carrying. It was a wonderful story, and of course the artwork was amazing!
