Everything seems to be hitting the fan I wonder if this series is almost over. Huge shame if it is love the art and I've very much enjoyed the story.

This entire thing is odd because the reason the monsters attacked her at the start of the series was because she smelled so good and they wanted to eat her. Or was that all a lie that our cute fishwomen told us. Because if their blood is mixed and disgusting why would all of those things attack Hinako really then?

There are six more untranslated chapters, honestly don't think this is ending yet, but either way the monsters couldn't smell the blood, because it's only a bit that she gave her a long time ago, so unless Hinako gets hurt it's really hard, or even near impossible to actually smell that bit of mermaid blood in her

I think what makes the blood disgusting is if it's mixed with YOUR OWN blood. So Hinako is only disgusting to the fish, any other monster (like the fox) still find her tasty.

Did she really just pull a Strange Man?

isn't there also a factor that eating mermaid flesh in Japanese myth makes you immortal? So that would make her smell extra-tasty to monsters outside of the mermaids themselves.

Yep, what Ayame said to Hinako was "the taste of a human with one's OWN blood mixed in is utterly unpleasant"

So its basically a double effect, other monsters would find her tasty while Shiori will find her disgusting

But does her hinussy also smell bad or just her blood? That seems like it would affect their relationship

Well, the claim seems to be weirdly specific--that if a mermaid gives someone their blood, THAT MERMAID will find their scent foul. It would seem like it made more SENSE for the scent to just become foul in general, but that doesn't seem to be what anyone said. The blood seems to be more personal than that.

It makes very much sense not to want to essentially eat yourself, but have no problem with other monsters.

I wonder if this means Miko could solve her hunger pangs by giving Hinako some of her own blood.

I wonder if Hinako would let her, given she actually wants to be eaten and Shiori just flaked out on her in that regard.

Like so? :P

How come this manga has a yuri tag? There are no romantic relationships between the three main characters. Both the kitsune and the Ningyo protect Hinako at all cost but with different motives. At no times do these three show signs of being gay.

I feel like it's yuri in subtext - it's basically a coming-of-age story dressed up in monsters.

Hinako was essentially forced into adulthood after her accident, and as part of this 'growing up', she unknowingly became very attractive (to monsters). Most of the ones she attracts are dangerous creeps that her best friend Miko drives off behind her back. But Miko is attracted to her too, and holds herself back because she doesn't want to hurt her friend. And then there's Shiori, who openly admits her attraction but doesn't want to do anything until Hinako herself is ready for it.

Or something, I dunno.

The author themself tagged this as Yuri for where you can read the series officially. It’s likely going to be very slow burn, with the romance aspect likely coming after Hinako is in a better emotional and mental state, because let’s be honest, romance or love is the last thing Hinako needs to be worried about when she’s like this.

I'll check back, I have the raw and up to date. 4-koma extra after 27. (ie.Volume 6 extra) I do not know which chapter the author tagged herself though. I am ahead of you guys. Can you give me the chapter(s) that I can go back to check?

That last page was so much a surprise it made me laugh. Love the way she told us what happened while leaving out the whole why of the situation and why she even cares about her now, is there some thing where if hinako dies she does as well?

100%. Plus I don't know that there's nothing loving happening here. Yes, there's been no blushing but there's more to it all than that and this story has a greater purpose than just romance. Besides, it's kind of hard to date or show that sexual affection when the other person is suicidal and the story is wholly focused on properly depicting that at the moment. Dealing with her trauma comes first. If they ever get together it'll likely be towards the end.

Well, that was interesting indeed. Did not expect her to have received the blood already before the accident. Although we still don't know the exact circumstances that led to this...
