What you say is mostly true, though it didn't stop me from enjoying the part with the clam. At the end, it said the story was ongoing, but I doubt we'll see more at this rate (even though I'd like more).
FYI: That shop keep, is the prince's sister.
I have to agree with you. Even though I berated this manga, I enjoyed my time reading this in spite of the fact that this one was forgettable!
The prince Sister as a shop-keeper, yes, I know this part but why would she need her brother to produce those precious pearls, couldn't she do the same?
I'm sure she can make pearls also, I think it's just because the prince is lazy that he sells his to her shop instead of working.
By far, it's not my favorite merstory, I prefer WILD FISH much better! I love the brother who is a clean freak. The mermaid FREE! DJ's are pretty good too.
I will have to find that one story I read two years ago, that was actually a fish genderbender. Out of water it's a boy, and in the water it's a girl . . . or was that the opposite . . . .?? I've gotta increase my mercollection!
Too lazy to work, but not to order!
I will be checking out the Wild Fish Manga.. Regarding the Free Dj, I have a policy that I don't check or ready fan fiction as I believe - Could be true/worng- that the writer's creativity of the subject has been altered in addition to his/her vision
As a story, it has no plot. We don't know how did the mermaid man come to the human world except for small reference from a shop owner! As a character, the mermaid is such a passive aggressive mermaid that doesn't do anything besides sitting in the tub? Why would you visit the human world if that's what are you going to do? Kanan is such a disappointed character, even though his persona, should be strengthened by his new found love, he is still the same bullied man! Neither of them had any development through the storyline.
