Product Description
Kanan has a boyish face and gets picked on often because of his tiny figure. But, things change when his neighbor turns out to be a merman - and the King of the Seas, at that! Despite the king's selfish and rude pretense, he tries to booster Kanan's self esteem, and Kanan wants to thank the merman for his support - but in what way...?!

 Fun and sexy July 26, 2008
R. Jeffery (MA, USA)
I was in the mood for something light and fun, and this certainly fit the bill. Even though this is light in tone, it doesn't disappoint as far as the sex scenes. I'd really like to see another volume of this.
 Delightfully cute! May 16, 2008

This fantasy Yaoi is so cute and just pure fun. This is Vol 1 and I definitely look forward to more. Kanan is such an adorable uke, totally endearing in his innocence and timidity. As for his Mr Mermaid, Kaioh, he may be aloof and seems cold at the beginning, but once he starts caring for Kanan, Kaioh is equally lovable. Their interaction is lively, amusing, sweet and sexy. A lot of sex though the "lower parts" are hidden. Not a problem at all as the characters and fast paced and lively plot more than make up for this. There is a little spin-off on Kaioh's rival and a lonely clam (yes a clam!) which is enjoyable and sweet too.
Love the expressive artwork. Read this a straight 2 times. Yes that enjoyable!

Due to the other review, I decided to pick 'Selfish Mr. Mermaid' up, and was happy that I did.
The manga is a light, fast read, with cute characters and a cute plot. This is not a manga with a heavy storyline, in fact I felt as if I knew what was going to happen the first time through. However, as it was a fun journey, with a sweet romance and a happy ending, I was satisfied.
The main character is overly shy and submissive, who meets a mermaid who is overly rude and dominant. They end up living together (the mermaid moves in without a 'by your leave') ;), fall in love, have much sex and then travel to his underwater city for a a bit of excitement before the obligatory happy ending. There is a secondary romance at the end of the book which also sticks firmly in the sweet and cute.
The sex is plentiful, but done in the 'important bits hidden' style that is so popular in manga (I wish the 'important bits shown in abundance' style were the more popular one!), and the artwork is pleasing.
I would say this is a solid 4 for lovers of fluff, though people who like angst/heavy emotion/er...and real plots...may not enjoy it quite as much as I did.
WOW!!!! What can I say but WOW!!! April 13, 2008

First of all I loved this book way too much almost as much as Our kingdom.
The charcters feel so real, the art is very beautiful, and the story itself was so funny. I just got the book today and I read it in 30 min I could not put it down.(for a norm person it would prob take longer. Im just a really fast reader)It wouldn't have taken so long if it wasn't for all the interuptions. The only sad part was the plot where was the plot hopefully in vol 2.
Another thing I studied many things when I was in school animals, sharks, Angels, Demons, etc and I've read almost everything on mermaids and all the tales on them say that they have the tail of a fish. (like the little mermaid) Maybe in vol 2 it well explain why Mr Kaioh and his family and enemy(haru) don't have a tail just human legs. And I never heard anything about them able to live on land. Sorry I get carried away with these kind of things.
Other than that little fact loved this sooooo much it was kinda scary. Kanan is so a crybaby and Kaioh is scary really scary. For those who don't believe m/m don't read this lot's and lot's of sex. For thos who love M/M or Like it or don't mind or just don't care this is worth every cent. ;)
