The Global Visual:
In addition to its scheduled stage appearance at Japan Expo Paris on July 5th, the anime Watatabe is set to make waves at two major anime conventions in the United States. One of them is Anime Expo in Los Angeles this July, where Watatabe will be showcased at the PONY CANYON booth.
The U.S. premiere of Episode 1, along with a special talk session, has been officially confirmed for Otakon, taking place this August in Washington, D.C. The event will feature three distinguished guests: Sai Naekawa (Original Creator/Mangaka), Takumi Kamemaru (Manga Editor), and Ena Hamabe (Anime Producer). They will offer exclusive insights into the behind-the-scenes process of creating both the manga and the anime—months ahead of the series’ official streaming launch in October.

INTRODUCTION:
“I’ve come to eat you,” so softly utters the mermaid Shiori as she emerges from the sea and takes high school girl Hinako by the hand. Hinako lives alone in a town by the sea and possesses an unusually delicious body that is irresistible to nearby monsters. To ensure that she matures to the best condition, Shiori seeks to protect Hinako—all so that someday, she can devour every piece of her. A longing thought comes to Hinako’s mind; “Maybe this monster can make my wish come true.”
