“I have come to eat you,” Shiori the mermaid softly
says as she emerges from the sea and takes high school girl Hinako by the hand.
Hinako lives alone in a seaside village and possesses an unusually delicious
body that proves irresistible to nearby monsters. To ensure that she matures in
the best conditions, Shiori tries to protect Hinako, all so that one day she
can devour every piece of her. What will become of Hinako’s feelings when this
unjust death approaches her…?
