This is Rumiko Takahashi at her darkest, but her trademark humor and romance also pop up in this three-volume series.

On their journey, they meet others who have consumed the flesh of a mermaid in hope of becoming immortal. But the powerful substance affects each person differently.

An adventure in another world with cute girls by your side and video game-like powers–sounds like an anime fan’s dream, right?
