Mermaid Forest

Synopsis

According to the legend of Mermaid Forest, consuming mermaid flesh grants immortality—a reality Yuta, who has lived for five centuries, and his companion Mana know from experience. Yet most who attempt to gain this power either perish or become grotesque beings. Fifty-five years ago, Towa Kannagi received mermaid blood from her sister Sawa to cure a life-threatening illness. This left Towa eternally youthful except for her snow-white hair and a monstrous arm. Over the decades, she has longed to restore her body to normal, relying on blood transfusions from deceased youths with the help of Dr. Shiina. One day, Mana is mistakenly pronounced dead and taken to Towa for a transfusion. Realizing Mana is still alive, Towa must decide how far she is willing to go to heal herself. Can Yuta save Mana before it is too late?
