My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) | comment |
While on a visit to his grandmother's, a schoolboy named Nagasumi nearly drowns in the sea. Before passing out, he catches a glimpse of a young mermaid. Nagasumi is found on the rocks, but no one believes his mermaid story... until that young girl, Sun Seto, appears at his home, asking Nagasumi to take responsibility for what happened by marrying her. Turns out that saving him broke the mermaid code of secrecy and one of them must be executed to preserve it, so Sun chose a third option by proposing marriage.Unfortunately, Sun is also the daughter of a mermaid yakuza clan, and her fiercely-overprotective father and several other clan members are not happy with the engagement and would rather just have him killed and be done with it. And there is also the matter of keeping it a secret that Sun is a mermaid as she starts attending his school. Then, of course, there's the matter of Sun's pint-sized bodyguard, who would like nothing better than to murder Nagasumi. Oh, and Sun's family decide it's a great idea to off some of the staff at Nagasumi's school and take their place so they can better watch Nagasumi. Do we really have to say it?My Bride is a Mermaid (Seto no Hanayome, 瀬戸�花�; literally translated as "The Inland Sea Bride") is a manga by Tahiko Kimura, which was serialized in Monthly Gangan Wing from 2002 to 2010, and compiled into 16 Volumes. A 26-episode TV series aired in early 2007, and a set of two OVAs followed.The anime has been licensed by Funimation under the title My Bride is a Mermaid. All 26 episodes of the anime, both subbed and dubbed, can be seen at Funimation's site here and here. The full series is available on DVD.A character sheet for this series is under construction. | |

Annoying Younger Sibling: The OVAs introduce Satori, Saru's kid sister. Sun bonds with her over a love of action movies, and after Nagasumi rescues her from a collapsing theater, even she begins to think he's extremely manly. She actually appears much earlier in the manga. | |

Super-Reflexes: Nagasumi has this from time to time. Such as whenever a character attempts to hit one of the mermaids with water, like Mawari on Sun, and later Maki on Akeno (although he fails to completely block her attacks). In episode 21, he also activates a super-evasive mode, allowing him to dodge all the hits from both Sun AND Lunar's fathers. At the same time. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Shiranui and, later, Sun attempting to resist their spontaneous change to mermaids when their legs are doused with water. Full package of moaning, blushing and easily misunderstood dialogue. The first scene even has severe weakness of the legs (Justified in that her legs are changing, but still can't help but look like something else). In the first episode: "I need you to take responsibility for what happened earlier today!". If a young girl said that, with the same intensity, what is a parent going to think? In the final episode, Sun is wearing a wedding dress, while Nagasumi is wearing a black coat over his school uniform. The resulting visual when they hug makes Nagasumi look like he's wearing a wedding kimono as well. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Firstly, we're introduced to Maki, who acts cutesy towards Sun (she even has the tone and Verbal Tic of Suiseiseki). However, aside from Sun and her boss (Sun's dad), she is very hostile towards everyone else, especially Nagasumi. Then, Lunar makes her entrance, and we don't have to wait long to know that her cute persona on stage is merely a facade. Both of them mellow out somewhat as the series goes along. Episode 22 lampshades how similar they are, with Maki as "Chibi Lunar-Chan", subtly pointing out Lunar's flaws while she's putting on her ventriloquist act. They both get into an argument, then end up fighting each other hilariously. Amazingly, the class still thinks Lunar is just putting on a good ventriloquism act. | |

My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_27a58d30 | comment |
Carnivore Confusion: Sun and Lunar are disturbed when they take something with fish in it (with Sun asking if that makes them cannibals). But fish do eat other fish... Hilariously invoked with the three fish brothers during the Kyoto excursion. There's also the bit early in the show where Octopus Nakajima is teaching the home-ec class how to cook octopus, with what's heavily implied to be his own severed tentacles. Nagasumi wisely decides not to have a taste. | |

Lampshade Hanging: Done a lot through the series; notably when Nagasumi points out the falling cherry blossom petals that surround Sun when she is getting chivalrous. In one instance he asks where the petals keep coming from (they were on a boat in the middle of the ocean at the time), and in another he waves them away while trying to calm Sun down. | |

Mistaken for Cheating | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_2d7ef923 | comment |
Mistaken for Cheating: A Not What It Looks Like moment between Nagasumi and Lunar leading to a Shotgun Wedding imposed by Lunar's father. Sun becomes depressed thinking Nagasumi cheated on her with Lunar because she failed him as a wife, but regains her resolve and tries to take him back by declaring war on the Edomae Syndicate. | |

Gratuitous English | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: Lunar's dad is a walking factory of this trope. The most memorable being: ''"Masatsu Za Human!! TERMINATE!! ("Kill the Human!! TERMINATE!!") Mikawa's private army fits this trope as well. The "Secret Tail Deluxe" commercial in episode 11 also qualifies. Choco-Banana! OOH GREAT! Lunar's bodyguards (the black pair, not the classmate horde). Saturn's English lesson video. Probably NSFW due to the profanity she teaches, but very hilarious. "Good morning maggots!" | |

Theme Music Power-Up | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_2f50c5bf | comment |
Theme Music Power-Up: Sun's "Song of Heroes", being Magic Music, actually causes this effect on Nagasumi. Used normally in episode 26, where Nagasumi powers up by himself by virtue of being extremely pissed off and the music just plays as BGM. Lunar's "Song of Battle" has a... less refined sort of similar effect. | |

Accidental Pervert | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_2f52c0af | comment |
Accidental Pervert: In episode 3, both Sun and Nagasumi walk in on each other in the bath within the space of 24 hours. Nagasumi winds up with broken ear drums (and an unwarranted reputation of being a deliberate pervert) both times. Parodied in episode 20 when Nagasumi incidentally spots Lunar's dad through a window across the street changing into his sailor schoolgirl's outfit while cute music plays. Lunar's dad shouts at him in a hi-pitched voice to not look at him and shuts the curtains. Nagasumi clearly does not like what he just saw. | |

My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_32047939 | comment |
Pretty Freeloaders: Sun, Maki and Lunar are all staying at Nagasumi's house, moving him up to the attic. Partly subverted however, since both their families continually repair damage they cause to his house, and Lunar's father even renovates it while he was it. Nagasumi's mom in particular loves the new kitchen. Gozaburo still deliberately left them with their mortgage, though. | |

Shotgun Wedding | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_32ec6393 | comment |
Sun is extremely devoted to Nagasumi, to the point that she decided to follow him to Saitama and live under the same roof as his fiancée. She was even willing to bet herself for her future husband's contest. What truly sells it is when she interrupts Lunar's Shotgun Wedding while wearing a wedding kimono and carrying a katana, which she then uses to great effect. Note that Sun, despite her YN traits, subverts it in the speaking department, at least in English. Instead of the formal speech patterns of more traditional YNs like Belldandy or Aoi Sakuraba, Sun has a more "casual" register, with contracted words and dropped final "g"s. | |

Instant Fan Club: The males at the school are divided into two large, militant, warring fan clubs over Sun and Lunar. Lunar personally leads her club in efforts to take over the school. Mawari is left leading an equally-violent third club comprised of the girls, united under 'restoring order' with the motto "All men are beasts." | |

Both Lunar and Sun have one in episode 13 when they both do a Love Confession to him. Akeno realizes she's falling in love with Nagasumi in Chapter 56, though her sense of honour regarding her mission conflicts with it until Chapter 68. | |

Not What It Looks Like | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_52d1f46e | comment |
Not What It Looks Like: Early on, Nagasumi tries to dry Sun's legs using a rather compromising position. Later, an even worse case of this almost leads to a Shotgun Wedding with Lunar. When Nagasumi and Mawari saw Sun and Akeno undergoing endurance training together in the bathhouse, the two mermaids looked rather... provocative. This becomes a running gag with Mawari catching them in compromising positions and thinking Akeno is a lesbian. At one point, Nagasumi's dad sees Sun from behind and stares longingly at her, thinking she was his wife. His wife then comes and beats him up for being a pervert. | |

Literal Asskicking: Seems to be one of Lunar's favorite methods of tormenting Nagasumi. An extreme example, as she grabs his legs to keep him in place & uses her foot like a drill to repeatedly shove it in several times a second during multiple lengthy moments while he's writhing around. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_5beef860 | comment |
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Sun's dad, despite being a Yakuza leader, still has his childhood fear of cats. Taken to hilarious extremes when the cat's he deathly afraid of is still a kitten. Most of the mermaids have this, and it's justified in that they are technically fish. And cats love fish. Particularly hilarious with Maki. Although the kitten merely licks her, she acts as if she's going to be eaten alive, though she is bite-sized, making it a legitimate concern. Akeno, despite being a hardened swordswoman, is extremely afraid of ghosts. | |

Wrong Bathroom Incident: After Sun started attending the same school as Nagasumi, Chimp called over Nagasumi so they could peek in the girl's locker room. Nagasumi refuses the offer and walks away, unfortunately he's soon cornered by one of the Seto Clan's thugs who attack him, and in a split second, he calculates that the only way to avoid certain death is through the girl's locker room, which he dashes through while apologizing profusely. | |

Serious Business | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: The Sun vs Lunar fan club war. It almost tore the school apart. The dating sim episode 20. Both Lunar and Sun's dads end up cosplaying and getting a little too in-character with the visual novel they're playing, which freaks both of the girls out. Mawari tends to think of this too when trying to enforce school rules. It's not very effective most of the time. Mawari also takes karuta — a Japanese card-matching game — very seriously, as shown during the match between her, Nagasumi, and Sun. When Sun's dad pulls the fire alarm in episode 14 which causes several firetrucks to show up at the school. Mikawa also calls in some fighter jets. After Ren finds out they both did that simply because of a kitten, she beats them all up for going overboard, while Masa apologizes profusely for wasting the firemen's time. | |

Large Ham | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_823c6e3e | comment |
Large Ham: Yakuza grunts, their boss Gozaburo, and his daughter Sun. She's not as bad as the rest of the outfit but get her in a "Honor among thieves" mode and watch the cherry blossoms materialize. Nagasumi even lampshades this when he asks Sun where the petals are falling from in episode 3. Sun's dad gets particularly hammy during the Kyoto excursion episodes. Virtually anyone arguing with Nagasumi ends up doing a ham-duet with him, especially Mikawa early on. | |

Interspecies Romance: Nagasumi and Sun mainly, but the series' Love Dodecahedron also contains another mermaid and an orca, and the mermaid noble that captures Sun and tries to marry her against her will at the end of the anime is actually a catfish. | |

Hopeless Suitor | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_863c780a | comment |
Hopeless Suitor: Pretty much any girl not named Sun, although Lunar does almost succeed in roping him into a Shotgun Wedding of her own. The class president in particular is a tragic case, as she's incredibly shy around Nagasumi, and in episode 21 of the anime, she finally manages to write a love letter to Nagasumi. But her efforts are both sabotaged by her classmates, and later Sun's dad/Maki. While Played for Laughs, you can't help but feel a little sorry for her making such a fool of herself given how much courage it must've taken her to do this. | |

Art Shift: Done fairly often by Nagasumi, into a semblance of whatever the show feels like poking fun of at that moment, but particularly to Fist of the North Star (see Battle Aura below). Also done by people swooning over Masa. Sun seems to have noticed that, too. The characters spend almost as much time art-shifted as they do in normal style; this applies especially to Nagasumi. At the very end of episode 26, Nagasumi seems to have permanently shifted into his Fist of the North Star persona, at least until the OVA. | |

Terminator Impersonator: Lunar's Papa takes the Terminator aspect and plays it for as many laughs as possible. Both English and Japanese dubs give him Schwarzenegger-like mannerisms; he's never seen without his black shades; in his introductory episode, he relentlessly hunts down Nagasumi in his own school while causing a panic among the students; he's completely unfazed when hit with a Kill Sat; and he makes his exit by climbing into a dumpster fire and slowly lowing himself down into it while giving a thumb's up. | |

Big Bad: Though the series doesn't really need one for most of its run, it's eventually revealed that Yoshio's the one who sent Akeno to evaluate the Seto gang in an attempt to break up Sun and Nagasumi, so that he can have her for himself, and even then he doesn't make an appearance until the last two episodes. Yoshio is introduced as a minor antagonist fairly early in the manga, and it also takes much longer for this revelation to occur. | |

Gecko Ending: The anime follows the manga with minor alterations up to Chapter 28 and then diverges wildly, with the manga carrying on with zany Slice of Life stories involving Sun's numerous (often-yandere) Forgotten Childhood Friends and the anime veering into a Rescue Arc where Sun is abducted, with some of the new characters from the manga being belatedly introduced in the OVAs. Starting at Chapter 68, however, the manga starts to generally follow the path of the anime's finale. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Typically happens about 3-8 times a scene, about as often as characters change art styles, and almost always done for comedy, regardless of the "mood" that is being switched to/from. The end of episode 12, which starts out comical, then suddenly shifts to being serious, as Nagasumi is forcefully taken away from Sun. | |

He also manages to erect a "Nagasumi Barrier" when Mawari attempts to throw water at Sun in episode 6 by basically jumping in front of the water before it hits Sun. | |

Shout-Out | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The anime's Opening Narration takes place on the rocks of Cape Inubo, which was used by Toei Company for their Vanity Plate. The fat lady disguise and the quote "Open your mind" from the original Total Recall (1990), the Gate of Babylon from Fate/stay night The Lance of Longinus from Neon Genesis Evangelion... and of course, the Terminator. Mawari Zenigata, who wants to be a join the police like her father, who is the superintendent. Nagasumi goes Fist of the North Star on everyone's ass thanks to Sun's "Song of Heroes." And again in the manga, telling someone that their gender has already been changed when the last amazoness transformed a thug into a girl. The leader of Lunar's protection squad wears a mask and helmet very similar to Darth Vader's, and in the manga he even appears on a karuta card paraphrasing one of Vader's famous quotes. When Nagasumi starts his beatdown on Yoshiou in Episode 26, he shouts "HISSATSU!!!", rapidly punches him in the face dozens of times, and when he finishes he has his back to his opponent with a flaming kanji emblazoned on his jacket. | |

Yamato Nadeshiko | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_d3427b48 | comment |
Yamato Nadeshiko: Sun is extremely devoted to Nagasumi, to the point that she decided to follow him to Saitama and live under the same roof as his fiancée. She was even willing to bet herself for her future husband's contest. What truly sells it is when she interrupts Lunar's Shotgun Wedding while wearing a wedding kimono and carrying a katana, which she then uses to great effect. Note that Sun, despite her YN traits, subverts it in the speaking department, at least in English. Instead of the formal speech patterns of more traditional YNs like Belldandy or Aoi Sakuraba, Sun has a more "casual" register, with contracted words and dropped final "g"s. Nagasumi's grandmother is sweet and caring and strangely adaptable to the craziness that has invaded her family. | |

Reset Button: Averted between episodes 11 and 12. At the end of episode 11, the house has been destroyed by Giant Nagasumi. At the start of episode 12, we see everyone in the house like usual...however, it's quickly established that Sun's and Lunar's dads used their connections to have the house rebuilt between episodes (Nagasumi's mom even gushes about how much she loves the new kitchen!) In fact, this indirectly leads into the Wham Episode. | |

Cute Monster Girl: Mermaid appearance here resembles that of western mermaids. The mermen in their true forms tend to resemble traditional Japanese mermaids, which are horrors straight from the Black Lagoon. And no, not that Black Lagoon.

Let Her Grow Up, Dear: Compared to her borderline psychotic husband Gozaburo Seto, who has a tendency to send assassins after his son in law Nagasumi, Ren Seto was absolutely delighted when she mistook his drying of her daughter Sun's fins as public sex ("My oh my, kids will do it anywhere these days."). She provides (not so) helpful love potions to speed up their blossoming marriage along with advice and encouragement, when she's not occasionally trying to seduce the boy herself, that is. | |

Clingy Jealous Girl: Mawari, Lunar, even Sun has shown this (episode 2, although played for laughs). Mawari even goes so far as to interrogate Nagasumi's relationship with Sun in episode 6 when she sees them leaving his house together. Mawari (again), the class president, Lunar, and Akeno all exhibit this trope after drinking that special potion that makes you act out your innermost desires in episode 19. Hilarity Ensues as they chase him down. At the end of episode 26, after watching Sun and Nagasumi make up, Lunar doesn't seem too happy, and hilariously knocks out her dad to vent her frustration. | |

Sun does one in episode 13 to stop Lunar's marriage to Nagasumi. | |

Useless Bystander Parent: Nagasumi's mother and father are extreme cowards, doing nothing but cowering in the corner and pushing their son into marriage when threatened by Sun's father. They are also constantly physically and emotionally abusive toward him (though it is Played for Laughs), and his mother makes no attempt to hide the fact that she has a huge crush on Masa, often making her husband break into bouts of crying whenever she fawns over him. | |

Five-Man Band Concert: The opening has the characters as part of a music band: Sun, the Magical Girlfriend, sings; Nagasumi, the Badass Normal, plays the guitar; Large Ham (and Sun's dad) Gozaburo is on the drums; and Masa, the Only Sane Man, plays the bass. It ends with Sun and other characters (who vary depending on the episode's plot) dancing. It's all very fitting to the manga's comedic tints. | |

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything | |
My Bride is a Mermaid (Manga) / int_ee7ed46e | comment |
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: It's a wise choice on the part of the director to not show just how Yakuza really make their money; Sun's family would really be nowhere as fun and lovable to watch if they are drug smuggling, gun running, prostituting extortionists who commit murder on a daily basis. Of course, after the first episode, the entire clan essentially dedicates itself to trying to ruin Nagasumi's life, so they don't have time to do any of that stuff.The most villainous thing the Seto Syndicate seems to do is run a shopping channel that seems to be selling "Fin Weights", porn (fish porn at that, for mermaids, see?) and Lance of Longinus copies. There was a goldfish scoop booth at a carnival in Episode 2. Nagasumi reasons that since the guy who ran the booth was an aquatic creature himself, it could possibly count as trafficking. They, at least, hint at the "killing on a daily basis"-business, with assassins such as Maki trying to off Nagasumi on a daily basis. | |

Evil Plan: Averted for the most part in the anime. The bulk of the series is about Sun and Nagasumi's growing relationship, but once the mermaid exam starts then a continuous plan by a villain shapes the remainder of the series. A merfolk nobleman wants to add Sun to his harem and needs her to break with (or otherwise seperate from) Nagasumi to make that happen. It takes much longer for this to be revealed in the manga. | |
