Description This entry is for #Shoujo-Beat 's Shoujo Manga Cover Contest

Page 1: [link]

The title of my manga is Umi No Nami which roughly translates to waves of the sea.
The Main character is Nami Kishimoto, A mermaid, who's determined and strong willed. She wants to experience the joys of life on land.

Summary:
There's only one rule merfolk have to follow;
Never approach a human.
But Nami Kishimoto is being haunted by a strange dream, about a human boy plunging deep into the waves. Curious about the world above the ocean, she uses her dream as an excuse to transform herself into a human and explore the wonders it has to offer.
Only problem is, Nami knows nothing about life above the surface!

On land she meets Keiichi, a young boy who lives in a house by the sea. After finding her stranded, he offers to take her in.
Reluctant at first but convinced her human guise deceived him, she accepts. and from there Nami begins the life of a human girl. But attending school, learning to cook, battling off jealous school girls and most importantly, hiding her fishy identity are far from the hardships Nami will face, as darker forces begin to take hold beneath the ocean's surface

Another person said that, and I read the summary and it seems like its just the jist of the story that is the same, what I have planned is much different that what the plot of mermaid melody said. And I actually won third place, so thank you :3

You did? That's awesome! Congrats.
Lol, I know what you mean about summaries sounding similar. My own book sounds really cliche when I summarize it, but it's actually not at all.

Aww! The story sounds interesting! Where can I read the full story of this or the manga pages?

TenguxChan In reply to Em-em-chan100 [2011-10-08 21:07:38 +0000 UTC]

There should be a link in the description box to the first page. I have four pages up and I have the first chapter finished but I need to finish the pages, I'm working on it though :3
I'm glad you like it

Really? I heard my friends say that and its weird because other than for a music video with Tokyo Mew Mew and mermaid melody I havent seen it.

TypicalTAzn In reply to TenguxChan [2011-10-02 06:09:34 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it sounds almost exactly like mermaid melody. you should read the summary on wiki or something. the story was cute but it got kinda boring after a while..

TenguxChan In reply to TypicalTAzn [2011-10-02 14:51:44 +0000 UTC]

Will do, I hope its just the summary that sounds that way and not the plot itself, otherwise Imma have to change some things ;^;
