A Monster Wants to Eat Me

Hinako, a reserved high school student, spends her days in a sleepy coastal town, drifting through the summer with a quiet sense of isolation. While her classmates laugh and bond, she feels distant, haunted by memories of her family’s tragic passing years earlier. Everything changes when she encounters Shiori, an enigmatic girl whose presence feels as vast and deep as the sea. Shiori’s striking blue eyes, clear and endless like the ocean, captivate Hinako from the start. But the truth behind their meeting is far stranger—Shiori isn’t human at all. She confesses she’s a mermaid who has spent years searching for Hinako, drawn by an unseen connection neither fully understands. Their unexpected encounter unravels the quiet monotony of Hinako’s life, pulling her into a world of mystery and hidden depths.
