This could be retitled "When you and your boy are yanderes and decide to pull an epic prank on both of your girlfriends"

That's kind of up to how you want to view the last panel.
It could just be that they found their loved one and got together with them (which is presented in the story) and thus regained their mermaid form and are out of frame already.
Or it could be that due to the twisted nature of their love, it did not register as "true love" and they turned to foam regardless. Edit: However, Halniya says she'll only turn to foam after the moon reaches the horizon, and since the moon is still quite high up in the final frame, that's probably not what happened.

Does Halniya get her voice back from Aysha stabbing the prince, watching the stabbing, or because she struck a better deal with the witch? And does Aysha ever get her voice back by recognizing Halniya's reciprocation of her love, or no? Do they turn into foam at the end? I don't quite know how to interpret those bits and details

Halniya never lost her voice in the first place, she struck a different deal with the witch.

On pg59 you can see in the second panel that their feet start growing scales and then between the third and fourth panels their ears change from human ears to their mermaid ones while Aysha whispers something to Halniya which makes her laugh. So yes, they turn back into mermaids and Aysha has her voice back.

Personally I choose to believe Aysha told her that she loved her.

Yeah, Aysha's voice returns and that's when she finally can tell Halniya that she loves her, as twisted as she is. Lmao. Just also to add, at the end panel there is no foam, just the indication that something has submerged.

Anyway I loved the dark twist, after all The Little Mermaid originally wasn't the fluffiest story, so a dark yet happy ending is fitting. I respect the way this author went with it, veryyyy goood.

this one really took the "male ally supporting their relationship from the sidelines" to the next level

The fiance is out of the loop though, feel a bit bad for her.

It is pretty funny that the characters are a master manipulator mermaid, a somewhat-less-master manipulator prince, a would-be murderer mermaid, and a princess who lied one time.

anyway, this manga was really good. it definitely shows signs of being the author's first longform work, the exposition and pacing get choppy at points, but it's still so good. looking to their future career with interest!

The author actually has a new kowloon-inspired oneshot coming out in a week about a world where sunlight makes people turn into plants and a girl climbing a building to reach her friend. https://x.com/comipo_edit/status/2105236399700271323

So, everyone involved (except maybe the fiancé) is completely fucked up, but somehow it worked out. I like it.

Usually I'm not into tentacles, but goddamn the witch was HOT!

Are you even really an ally if you won't get stabbed to help out a yuri couple?
