Seto no Hanayome

Synopsis: During his summer vacation, high school student Nagasumi Michishio travels to the Seto Inland Sea. One day, while swimming at Mio Sun Beach, his leg suddenly cramped. No one is close enough to notice his desperate cries for help, and so he sinks into the ocean, where he is left to drown alone. Just as he loses consciousness, however, a mermaid appears and saves his life.

That night, Nagasumi is visited by his Savior, a girl who introduces herself as Sun Seto - a mermaid from a Yakuza family. It turns out that under mermaid law, a mermaid whose identity is revealed to a human must be punished by execution. To avoid this harrowing outcome, the Seto family proposes a solution: Nagasumi must marry the Sun or die at the hands of Gouzaburou, Sun's father and head of the Seto clan. Faced with no other option, Nagasumi takes her hand in marriage.

Now the newlyweds face the difficult task of keeping their relationship a secret. Between Gouzaburou's endless attempts at Nagasumi's life and the eccentric antics of a series of antagonists, a genuine and innocent love blossoms between the two as they adapt to their new lives.
