hobbitfreddie 's review for:
Junko Mizuno's Princess Mermaid
by Junko Mizuno
After reading Cinderalla I wanted to read more of the author’s work. So I started with this one and yeah… not as good. I think the author was trying to tell a more detailed story rather than a comedic fairy tale like Cinderalla. But it wasn’t executed well.
Kinda incoherent hard to follow, everything’s too fast.
Also really dark geez. There’s a lot more sexual content in this as well. Though I like that this is much different from Cinderalla but again not executed well. The writing is pretty bad. The romance also had a very problematic start that’s never really addressed. Idk why they put that scene in there in the first place it really wasn’t needed. Ignoring that the romance is alright. There’s too much going on I think but not enough time to develop them into a believable couple so the story has to tell you they love each other. I mean the scene were they confessing their wish to be together is good, there should have been more stuff like that.
I feel the character arcs were kinda crammed in for the whole cast. Not to enough time to really flesh anyone out except Tura. Though I did like the characters enough but there could have been more. I think the bad writing is the culprit here.
Still I enjoyed the atmosphere and the art of course. The mermaid world is well illustrated and quite unique (I mean mermaid brothels that eat their clients I don’t think I’ve seen that before.
I enjoyed it but I could defiantly see the flaws, especially the ending. Eh? That’s it?
But it was really fucking weird so there’s that. Good job yipeee
