What is My Bride is a Mermaid?
My Bride is a Mermaid begins with Nagasumi nearly drowning on a summer holiday and being saved by a mermaid named San. By the rules San's family lives under, a human who sees a mermaid must either die or marry her, and her family happens to be a mermaid yakuza outfit, which makes the second option only marginally safer.
The series runs 26 episodes and has finished airing. It is a broad comedy first and a romance second, driven by the size of San's family and how enthusiastically they interpret their own traditions.
The humour is fast and deliberately overplayed, with running gags built on the yakuza framing and a large supporting cast who each escalate the situation in their own direction. It works best watched a few episodes at a time rather than all at once. The complete episode list with original broadcast dates is below, along with the platforms currently streaming it.
Michishio Nagasumi's life couldn't be any more normal. In an odd twist of events, during his summer vacation he ends up almost drowning in the sea. Luckily, the cute mermaid Seto San appears to save him. However, San is from a yakuza mermaid family and according to their law, if a human is to catch sight of a mermaid, either he or the mermaid must die. The only other way is for Nagasumi to be taken in as a family member, marrying San. In attempts to save both of their lives, Nagasumi asks for San's hand in marriage. Nagasumi's summer vacation reaped more then what he would expect, as he must now protect San from others finding her secret out.
