My Bride is a Mermaid
On TV Tokyo
A high-energy romantic comedy that mines absurdist humor from the collision of yakuza violence and mermaid fantasy, sustained across 26 episodes with affectionate, playful tone.
Nagasumi's in hot water after a beautiful, young mermaid named Sun saves him from drowning. The deep-sea sweetheart's dad is a merman yakuza prone to executing anyone who learns his family's scaly secret! Luckily, there's a catch - if Nagasumi agrees to marry Sun, he just might avoid sleeping with the fishes!
