Synopsis

What happens when an intruder from the sea stakes claim to your bathtub? A cool yet demure teenage boy named Tatsumi must learn to live with the self-obsessed and playful merman, Wakasa, in a small Tokyo apartment. These two dissimilar young men will learn what it takes to deal with one another in their everyday lives. Of course, impromptu visits by Wakasa's ocean friends―an anthropomorphised octopus, jelly fish, and hermit crab―do not make things easier. Welcome to Tatsumi's bathtub. It's getting crowded.

Mixed Feelings
This manga was a pretty fun read, and felt fairly unique with it's variation of sea-creatures used for the different character designs, which range from fish to shellfish to octopuses.

While one could suspect romance in a manga with a bunch of handsome males and next to no females, there is little to none to be found. There are some elements of fanservice within the panels, but mostly it's just a bunch of hot guys getting together for random, childlike fun.

I would like to recommend this manga, but it's tone changes a bit too much during a couple of chapters.
Most chapters are just one-offs with ...
