Hikari no Umi Manhua

Title: Hikari no Umi Genre: Josei, Supernatural In the quaint town of Mizunami, the legend of mermaids and mermen had always been whispered, a tale of mystical beings residing in the deep sea. Natsuki and Ec-chan, childhood friends, grew up hearing these stories from their elders but never truly believing them until a serendipitous encounter one summer afternoon. Venturing into a secluded cove, Natsuki and Ec-chan discovered Aki, a mermaid unlike any they had envisioned - playful, inquisitive, and yearning to explore the world above the waves. However, Aki harbored a secret desire that consumed her thoughts - the longing to walk on land, a dream that seemed unattainable. Determined to aid their newfound friend, Natsuki and Ec-chan embarked on a quest, scouring the dusty shelves of the town library for a fabled spell book said to grant wishes. Their perseverance paid off when they unearthed the ancient tome, its pages brimming with ancient magic waiting to be unleashed. With a mixture of trepidation and excitement, Natsuki uttered the incantation inscribed in the worn pages, invoking a power that shimmered like stardust on the ocean's surface. As the enchantment took hold, Aki's tail underwent a miraculous transformation, morphing into delicate legs that quivered with newfound freedom upon the shore. Yet, their jubilation was short-lived as a sinister presence materialized from the depths, casting a pall over the once joyous scene. Mizuno-senpai, Natsuki's unrequited love, stood by her side, his eyes ablaze with determination as he prepared to confront the malevolent force threatening Aki's newfound humanity. As the tempest raged overhead, Natsuki realized that the true magic resided not in spells or sorcery but in the unbreakable bonds of friendship that united them in times of peril. With unwavering resolve, she stepped forward to stand alongside Mizuno-senpai, ready to face the looming darkness and protect Aki, the embodiment of light in the sea of shadows.
