A Monster Wants to Eat Me

Hinako, a high school girl, leads a quiet life in a small coastal town. Though she has friends, she often feels distant from them during the summer—the season that brings back painful memories of losing her family years ago. One day, she meets Shiori, a strange girl whose deep blue eyes remind Hinako of the ocean itself. But Shiori isn’t what she seems—she soon confesses that she’s a mermaid who has been searching for Hinako for a very long time.
