Princess Mermaid

Princess Mermaid, by Junko Mizuno, 144 pages

In the absolute loosest of terms, this is a re-telling of "The Little Mermaid" story.  In less loose terms, it is about a group of mermaids who seek vengeance on humans for having murdered their mother by opening an underwater brothel where they sleep with men in order to have future mermaid babies and then eat the men for sustenance.  Until one of them begins to doubt if this is the best course, and meets a human man and... well, you get the idea.  But however you think a story like that ends, you're wrong.  Like Cinderalla before, this is one of those fairly bizarre, very adult works of graphic fiction where I wasn't totally sure where the story was going or where I was when it got there, but the art is pretty and it was so different that I think I liked it.
