ONE OF THE BEST!!!

MERMAID SAGA IS ONE OF RUMIKO TAKAHASHIS GREATEST COMICS. IT CONTAINS ALOT MORE VIOLENCE THAN INUYASHA AND HAS A GREAT STORY AS WELL. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MANGA TO PEOPLE WHO WANT A NEW MANGA TO READ.

Disturbing, don't read this one before you go to bed...

I read this and my first thought was: Whoa, Takahashi wrote this?! This is a departure from her normal, light romantic comidy into something rather spooky...I enjoy all of her works and this one was no exception. Delightful and surprisingly wicked, this book kept me awake, and wanting more.

From Rumiko Takahashi's wonderful Mermaid Saga

This manga is not for children under 13, if you ask me. It is violent and macabre. The stories would probably be traumatizing to a little kid. I thought they were strangely enchanting, though. (Not in a pretty fariy tale way!) This manga contains two stories; Mermaids's Gaze and Mermaid's Mask. Mermaid's Gaze was my favourite of the two. It had more plot and more purpose in action. The second, Mermaid's Mask, was good too. It was just a little more gruesome and weird, with a woman who has eatenthe flesh of a mermaid and gains a painful scar from its poison, forcing her to cut of her face and switch for others. That's kinda icky, ya know? The first story has to deal with an homicidal manic who ate the mermaid's flesh and has become immortal. But there is something he wants more than immortality; a mysteriously life-like doll! And he'll kill to get it. Both stories are, of course, staring our two favourite immortal lovers: Mana and Yuta, who risk themselves in their travels to help those affected by the poison of the mermaid's flesh. Very good artwork by Takahashi-sama and thrilling, hard-to-put down plots! Great for any manga lover or anyone willing to read something new!

A good book and thiller

Mermaid's Gaze was a good book though it is somewhat gruesome. There is a lot of blood shed and it contains some violence(especially when they kill lost souls). Over all, it is a great book if you like the other Mermaid Series books.

Mermaid's Gaze . . .

She had made Yuta a promise to meet him in the Red Valley. If he had come, she wouldn't have died waiting for him. Now that she was resurrected by some guy who thinks he can control her, Mana struggles to keep her head on her shoulders as they struggle to the Red Valley for rescue!
