Hinako, a high school student with a dark past, lives alone in a town by the sea. Haunted by a constant sensation of drowning, she can barely go through the motions of her tedious life…until the day a monster tries to eat her! After passing out in the struggle, she awakens to find she’s been rescued by a beautiful mermaid. However, salvation comes at a cost―the mermaid’s protection will last only until Hinako has matured into the perfect meal! Hinako’s first instinct isn’t to run or scream, though, and an unlikely relationship between monster and prey unfolds…“I’ve come to devour you."

Review of 'This Monster Wants to Eat Me, Vol. 1' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

Could be a little more depressing, I feel like the author didn't give their all when it comes to melancholy.

But overall cool concept:
A mermaid who wants to eat a human and doesn’t let anyone else harm her because she’ll taste better if you wait a little, and a human who wants to die. Perfect relationship 👏

Does she mean “eat” as in actually eating or pussy eating as in sex? Just wondering, lol~

Love the “feeling underwater” as a metaphor for depression but also being part of the supernatural plot.

Great art.

I feel bad for Miko tho.
