ʚ " . . . Mermaid , Mermaid . Could you please , Make my love come true , Give for me your flesh and blood . . . " ɞ

School ningyo is a really great body horror manga , It ' s a good read and something you can read to fill up your list. It ' s short despite it ' s 5 volumes , And here ' s why .

ʚ overall : 8/10 ɞ
This manga has earned such a high rating because of it ' s interesting twist on mermaids . This manga had me wanting more every twist ... and new lore drop of the mermaids , it was seriously awesome , I had medium expectations for this considering I thought it would be vastly different from what I got but i ' m happy with the outcome , it does lack re-readability but it ' s okay , just a short read that I finished in around a day ! . .

ʚ Characters 7/10 ɞ
This section has a more average rating because a lot of the characters are just filler characters , this is to be expected with mangas that take a route of small stories stitched together , but I enjoyed how some of the characters that you thought weren ' t going to be important actually were and tied heavily into the story . I also enjoyed the fact that there ' s some LGBTQ+ reputation in here with WLW and transfeminity , that also made it quite interesting and unexpected . The random twists and how love can corrupt someone just as it did with who started the legend is really present and I love that .

ʚ Art 7/10 ɞ
This section also has an average rating because it ' s an average style , even mentioned by the artist to this , but I think it does it well , I couldn ' t imagine this story with any other style and I believe it does it justice . The setting is going to be boring but it ' s overshadowed by the interesting concept it has to it .

ʚ Story 9/10 ɞ
As stated , I loved the story and concept for this manga . It was super interesting to see so many characters and what their reactions were to the bizarre situation they were put in . I love when stories make everything tie together , it ' s my favorite thing ever to read . I ' m actually glad it was one of those mangas that make many stories and put them together , this made it much easier to digest the lore in a fun way that made you wanting more .

ʚ Enjoyment 9/10 ɞ
I really enjoyed this manga , it was nice to read and a good read to amp up my manga list . The art was enjoyable , the story was good , and it reminded me heavily of another series I love . It really brings my favorite genres together and didn ' t disappoint me at all .

Do I recommend this ? Yes . It ' s a quick easy read and you can finish it easily within a few hours , It ' s short and really interesting .

have you heard this rumor? at night, in the school's pool, mermaids will appear.. and if you eat the flesh of the mermaids, your love will come true. but it's not just a rumor - it's actually true! however the mermaids.. might not be the kind you're imagining right now.

as the story unfolds, the horrifying truth behind the ritual is revealed: how it all started, why it continues, and the terrifying cost of love.

this manga truly deserves so much more love and recognition! it has the perfect blends of horror, mystery, suspense, and just the right touch of unease. Akihito Yoshitomi's art and storytelling is ...

Preliminary (3/32 eps)

Ok, for the faint of heart, don't read it. Then again. I think It may have been just me who found this so darn disturbing!!!

For me one of the worst things to ever happen to a human is to lose the ability to think and speak freely. To become an animal with nothing. I dunno why. It makes me uncomfortable. This is a shocking anime that is sure to make a good hit at the slumber party.

That is the horror meter on it, Slumber party scary. A good ghost story. No more no less.
