Fish Girl is about a seaside attraction ran by Neptune, god of the sea. He owns a 3 floor house with an aquarium that runs the height of the house. Inside it is a mermaid. One day a girl spots the mermaid, and they become friends. That is when the mermaid starts to piece everything together. Maybe people aren't who they claim to be and maybe there is more to the world than her little tank.
I thought this was a perfect little read. It only took about an hour and is full of delightful illustrations. For a graphic novel, I thought they writing was fine. If you're accustomed to regular novels, then yes, this might be disappointing. Having already read a number of disappointing graphic novels, I found this one rather complete.
