Synopsis

After both his parents died in an accident, Tsugawa Tatsuya is now left with millions of heritage he can't use. In the weeks after, he's still mourning and thinking about his father's last words, "Tsugawa family's man must be a man of great vessel". But Tatsuya is not confident he can fulfill his father's last wish.

One day, he met Miyazaki Seine, a strange girl who seems to enjoy being bullied. Tatsuya believes he can help her even though his friends only see her as a masochist pervert, and Seine herself told him to mind his own business.

Seine hunts creatures of the sea, a kind of parasitic bug that controls humans and influences them to do hateful things. She possesses an immortal body and a beast called AiON that's used to lure and devour the bugs from inside the human host. She and the bugs naturally have an impulse to kill each other on contact.

Even so, Tatsuya still can't just leave her alone, he wants to help her.

Preliminary (Unknown/44 eps)
I apologize in advance for not making a good review. I'm not sure if I'm a good reviewer, but enjoy just making reviews.

First of all, the story is about the main girl, Miyazaki (or Seine) trying to avenge his guardian from mermaids, which isn't the mermaids we usually imagine. But she also has a job of taking out "mushi"(Bugs that take over someone's thoughts by the mermaids desires), but in order to do so, she must die at least once, meaning she's immortal. But meeting a guy name Tsugawa makes it difficult for her to do her job, because he doesn't ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (16/44 eps)
A creator can come up with an interesting premise, and unique characters, but it all comes down to how does one execute them, and this series comes off a bit like a sophomore production than an actual full on executed story.

STORY: Hekikai no Aion is the latest series from Yuna Kagesaki, the creator of Chibi Vampire (Karin), which has a very interesting premise: where sea creatures like mermaids and mind controlling parasites duke it out against a strange and seemingly immortal young girl.

But the story is about a high school boy named Tatsuya Tsugawa, who had lost both of his parents in a car accident ...
