Neither of my parents came to the funeral.

Hey, can you hear me?

You okay?

C'mon...

C'mon, open your eyes.

There!

You okay?

You scared me, diving in like that.

Is this yours?

Grandpa...

What's wrong?

I'm lonely!

Oh...

Well...

Want me to stay with you?

Yes.

I agreed thinking it was a dream.

All of it.

Well, good luck taking me back with you, huh?

A mer...

I thought for sure it was a dream.

It seems he has no name.

"Okay, Mr. Merman." "I don't like that form of address!" "Uh, well..." "But I have no name." "Huh? Now what?" It seems he has no name.

"Okay, Mr. Merman." "I don't like that form of address!" "Uh, well..." "But I have no name." "Huh? Now what?" That's inconvenient, so I gave him one:

That's inconvenient, so I gave him one:

The young man gave the merman a name. A fish name. That's inconvenient, so I gave him one:

The young man gave the merman a name. A fish name. Isaki.

If you buy food that's half off, please prepare it quickly. HALF OFF Because that banged-up isaki fish in the fridge had been bugging me.

Shima?

Shima!

Shi-chan!

Please don't call me that.

Huh? Why?

We've been together three days now,

so maybe we should start using nicknames!

Food's ready.

You're so cruel! Food's ready.

Isaki-san.

Isaki-san. He's a very strange merman.

[Isaki is watching "This Boy Can Fight Aliens", also by Soubi Yamamoto.] It was just the other day that Grandpa was here.

Now some stranger is sitting and watching TV.

A merman.

Isaki-san, don't you have any parents?

No, I don't.

I've been alone since I was born.

And you?

My parents divorced when I was little,

so I lived with my grandfather.

Those sure were tough times, fighting aliens and all! (LOL) so I lived with my grandfather.

Those sure were tough times, fighting aliens and all! (LOL)

My grandfather bought this kiddy pool just for me.

Is that so?

Being able to watch TV with you,

Thanks, Grandpa!! Being able to watch TV with you,

Thanks, Grandpa!! to eat meals with you...

It's all thanks to this!

Shima?

Hey, Shima!

I'm sorry, it's nothing.

Shima...

You've always struck this pose when you've cried, huh?

Shima...

I'm not here to make you cry.

Not at all.

No, I'm fine.

Really?

Yes, really. Really?

"Always"?

I've never cried anywhere but there.

Um, "always"?

How long have you watched me?

Since you were little!

Creepy! Creepy!

Creepy! Dramatization Well, the mermaid princess gets to help the prince because she always watches him!

Creepy! Dramatization Um, that is...

Creepy! Dramatization That ...completely different from this!

Isaki-san...

GAH!

It's said eating merman flesh makes you young and immortal, right?

What are you going to do, you merman? That's just a superstition, Shima!

What are you going to do, you merman? Eating it won't make you young or immortal!

What are you going to do, you merman? But I bet you'd fetch a good price.

Stop it, Shima!

A lot of things were tough at first,

but in time, I got used to life with Isaki.

Shima?

Did I... wake you?

Is something wrong?

May I talk about something trivial?

I mentioned my parents before, didn't I?

When I was a first-year in elementary school,

Stop insisting you're loved. Though I'm loved!

I am loved!

Even though you don't show the real you?

The real...

Shima, you lonely? The real...

Shima, you lonely?

Why? I'm not lonely. I mean, I couldn't show that.

If I did, I'm sure everyone would hate me.

So you only cry when no one can see you?

You say things aren't tough when they really are?

You hide your true feelings...

Well then, just who can love the real you?!

That's why you're lonely!

It's okay, Shima, you can show it.

Have more trust in the people who are around you.

I'm sure everyone will accept you for who you are.

I'm really not a good boy.

I'm a coward, and selfish.

I hate myself for that!

But those are all...

parts of me.

Okay?

Okay.

Oh, Shima, wanna go to the beach this Sunday?

I'll catch some fish to make up for the cab fare.

I'll catch big ones like you've never seen!

Please hang on tight.

I wanted to try riding this once.

Say, Shima, what kind of fish do you want me to catch?

Isaki.

Cannibalism again?

Fine, oysters.

Those aren't fish! Fine, oysters.

You chose based on cost, didn't you?

Ah, the ocean.

It feels great.

Come on, Shima, it feels good!

Isaki-san, the truth is, I can't swim.

A shocking fact!! Isaki-san, the truth is, I can't swim.

A shocking fact!! Huh? You should have told me sooner.

Huh? You should have told me sooner.

I can teach you, gently and thoroughly!

What do you mean, gently and thoroughly? I respectfully decline.

I respectfully decline.

Well, whatever.

Okay, I'm gonna get some fish.

I don't know what Isaki-san thinks,

but I'd like to stay with him forever.

Oh, that's right.

Okay!

I wonder if Shima will be happy?

I feel like lately, Shima's all I've been thinking about.

Shima!

Huh?

Shima?

Shima...

Huh?

The ocean...

was it always this cold?

Shima!

I'm sorry, Isaki-san.

I went back to get you a towel.

Shima...

When did I come to like him so much?

And yet, why?

Why do I feel this way?

Shima!

Just 1 day till the culture festival!! Do it! Good work.

"You're like a corpse," you say. "That's how I feel," I reply. Wait, you're not too chipper. Are you okay?

"You're like a corpse," you say. "That's how I feel," I reply. I'm not okay at all.

"You're like a corpse," you say. "That's how I feel," I reply. Because you're working the hardest, Shima.

Here, I'll give you this.

"Because you're working the hardest, Shima," she said, laughing. But aren't we selling that?

"Because you're working the hardest, Shima," she said, laughing. It's your reward.

It's your reward.

You were staring at it before, right?

You wanna give it to someone?

Yeah.

Actually, Isaki-san and I haven't talked much recently.

Kawauchi

Huh?

My bike is gone.

Isaki-san!

Huh?

I wonder where he went?

He's gone, so he must be at the beach.

Maybe he went there to catch some fish.

But how did he plan on getting home?

The way back is all uphill.

That's right, he's a merman!

Don't tell me he...

plans to go back to the ocean!

Isaki-san!

Isaki-san!

Are you here?

Isaki-san!

Isaki-san, please come out!

Isaki-san!

The truth is, when I consider Isaki-san,

it might be better not to chase him.

But...

Are you an idiot?!

I thought your heart would stop.

It's because you...

I mean, you disappeared!

Let's go back, Isaki-san.

I can't go back.

I'll say this clearly:

I've gotten tired of life on land.

Also, you don't need me now, Shima.

I have no reason to go back.

But...

And you have others besides me, human friends.

You should just have fun with them.

Go on, get yourself a wonderful girlfriend.

You and her...

I don't need that.

I don't need some girlfriend.

I already have...

someone I like.

I like you!

But I'm a merman.

Isaki-san...

I cherish you.

In the ocean...

I never knew these kinds of emotions!

When I was at home alone,

There are so many things I want to talk about. When I was at home alone,

Like, what time will you be home? with you gone, I'd get so lonely!

Like, what time will you be home? Or, I want to eat dinner with you! with you gone, I'd get so lonely!

Should I go see him? Or, I want to eat dinner with you! with you gone, I'd get so lonely!

I want him to be by my side.

BUT... I want him to be by my side. But I..

If I could just be foam...

If I could just be foam... I don't even have legs to go meet you!

I don't even have legs to go meet you!

I hated myself for that!

So...

Goodbye

What does it matter?

What does it matter?! It's fine!

If that's the real you!

That's what you said, Isaki-san!

I...

I like you, no matter how you are.

I can't win against you, can I?

I swear.

Shima...

If I go back,

it will be on one very important condition.

Yes...

Call me "Isaki," no -san.

That will be adequate?

Just fine, don't talk so politely.

Now, say my name.

Isaki...

I can't hear you.

Isaki!

Yes...
