The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal (Manga)	comment	The Mermaid Princess' Guilty Meal (Ningyohime no Gomen ne Gohan) is a manga written by Hiroshi Noda and illustrated by Takahiro Wakamatsu, which was serialized from 2017 to 2019 in Yawaraka Spirits.Deep, deep under the sea, in the fish kingdom, there was a mermaid princess named Ela. The kindhearted princess had many fish friends whom she loved dearly. But one day, poor Benito the bonito was snared by a fisherman's hook and turned into a delectable meal. Heartbroken, Ela goes to land to mourn his death and aid his passing into the great beyond...If only that was the end of the story. Remember how in The Little Mermaid (1989) fish were sentient and friends with merfolk, and humans were seen as evil because they ate fish? This manga takes place in a world quite like that... but as Ela finds out to her horror and dismay, the humans might just be on to something with the whole 'eating fish' thing...Follow Ela as she discovers the wonders of seafood!

Her tyrannical rule is also her means of keeping herself from succumbing to the temptations of seafood, though her janitorial staff note that even after her coronation she would sneak up to the surface and she still has a room full of seafood snacks. She sports a Psychotic Smirk upon finding out someone was fished and sets out to devour the poor unfortunate soul on the surface. At first the unlucky fish is implied to be Mackerel, but when Ela arrives at the restaurant she's surprised and disappointed to be served seared bonito instead. This turns out to be Nakajima, who is able to remind Ela of the friendships she once had, thus fulfilling his destiny in the process.

In chapter 36, it stops being 'tease': the two become engaged!

The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal (Manga) / int_57c78f8e	comment	Hijacked Destiny: Chapter 38 reveals that Madame Bonita's son, Nakajima, actually possessed psychic powers and had forseen he was destined to sacrifice himself to save the ocean world from a terrible monster's insatiable hunger for sealife. However, when Nakajima befriended Benito this derailed his destiny and led to Benito being hooked instead. Nakajima tried to use his psychic powers to jump back countless times in order to save Benito, only to be told by the spirit of the sage Troutadamus — who had prophesied the destruction of the ocean world — that it was too late and that Benito's death had guaranteed the rise of the monster destined to destroy the oceans (that being either the Leviathan or Princess Ela). The finale reveals that the Leviathan was the monster prophesied by Troutadamus to devour all life in the seas... but Ela usurped its place by becoming addicted to seafood. The moment Nakajima fulfills his destiny, the Leviathan breaks free to fulfill its destiny... only for Ela to ultimately eat it from the inside out.

When Ela asks him how the sergeant tastes, it is enough to snap him out of his depressive state and laughs at her, because he didn't actually eat the sergeant, but merely scribbled on his face using marker.

Later, as Mullet is threatening her with blackmail, even with her back to the reader, Ela is clearly getting angrier with every word out of Mullet's mouth. We don't get to see her expression when she finally turns to face him, but it's so terrifying that Mullet immediately swims out of there as fast as his fins can carry him... and slams right into a fishhook in his blind panic.

Nakajima, after months of wandering as a blank slate, gets inspired by memories of this friendship to take the line for Mackerel and lead Ela to reform. Ela, having known an insatiable hunger like that of the Leviathan, offers herself to be eaten in order to finally pacify it. This doesn't stick, as she not only survives but ultimately eats her way out of its stomach.

Chapter 38 reveals that he used to be Madame Bonita's son, Nakajima, before being driven to despair by his failure to save Benito from being fished and begging the spirit of Troutadamus to end his suffering. Troutadamus acquiesced, reducing Nakajima to a soulless shell doomed to aimlessly wander until the end of the sea world.

The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal (Manga) / int_b5ac90ac	comment	Chapter 38 reveals that Madame Bonita's son, Nakajima, actually possessed psychic powers and had forseen he was destined to sacrifice himself to save the ocean world from a terrible monster's insatiable hunger for sealife. However, when Nakajima befriended Benito this derailed his destiny and led to Benito being hooked instead. Nakajima tried to use his psychic powers to jump back countless times in order to save Benito, only to be told by the spirit of the sage Troutadamus — who had prophesied the destruction of the ocean world — that it was too late and that Benito's death had guaranteed the rise of the monster destined to destroy the oceans (that being either the Leviathan or Princess Ela).

After she becomes Queen, she tries to go cold turkey and makes going near the surface illegal... but her closet is stuffed full of fish snacks and when she learns someone was fished she is grimly delighted.

The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal (Manga) / int_b6cdd117	type	Beast of the Apocalypse
The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal (Manga) / int_b6cdd117	comment	Beast of the Apocalypse: Invoked in Chapter 38, where it's revealed that the great sage Troutadamus had prophesied that a monster with an insatiable appetite for sea-life would arise and devour everything in the ocean. While Madame Bonita was a believer in the prophecy, her son Nakajima scoffed at it due to his psychic powers letting him foresee that he would die to prevent Troutadamus' prophecy from coming to pass. Unfortunately, Nakajima befriending Benito — thus giving him hope — derailed his destiny and led to Benito being hooked in his place, thus bringing about the fulfillment of Troutadamus' prophecy when Princess Ela ate Benito and became addicted to seafood, making her the prophesied monster that would devour the oceans. Resurfaces in the final pages of chapter 40, and turns into the focus of chapter 41, the finale. While Nakajima has managed a miracle to get Ela to reform, Leviathan — the monster originally prophesied by Troutadamus — instead awakens. It's a mighty unstoppable beast with an insatiable appetite that had to be sealed away by the combined might of two kingdoms... and Era eats it from the inside-out, seemingly reawakening her seafood addiction in the process.

It's ultimately subverted, as Ela's birth mother is revealed to be her stepmother's twin sister.

The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal (Manga) / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal (Manga) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Holy carp, where to begin? The Chapter 3 cover references Nirvana's 'Nevermind' album. Several characters based on the Gill-man show up, starting in Chapter 3. The Cod bosozoku gang's old boss is a fishy Immortan Joe. The fast-food seafood chain that threatens Ryo's restaurant is Los Pollos Hermanos: Seafood Edition, complete with an owner that's a dead-ringer for Gus (his name is Sug, for Pete's sake). When 'Sug' shoots Ela a Death Glare after she exposes his dirty dealings, the horrified princess envisions him with half of his face burned to the skull in another obvious shout-out to the character. The Salmon Troop flag in chapter 7 is obviously based on the Survey Corps', with fins in the place of wings. Sango has a Hannibal poster hung up in her office. How... disturbingly fitting. One of the assassins who attempted to kill Era portrays herself as an Assassin class Servant. The guys who attack Sango during her first trip to the surface are almost traced from screenshots of Sherlock and John Watson from Sherlock. Himada ends up in the memetic Yamcha death pose after the aforementioned thugs beat him up. The bear that attacks the salmon migration is holding a pot of hunny. Ryo's grandma and the poofy-haired fisherman strike Jojo poses when they square off over whether oysters or clams are better (Josuke's◊ and Giorno's respectively). Shellza the scallop is almost a dead ringer for Shellder from Pokémon, minus the cartoony tongue. When Alisa laments that she's gained weight and that she wishes she had a perk that prevented that, a video game icon resembling Vault Boy from the Fallout series is shown. After Madame Bonita is fished, Ela recites "Fish are friends, not food!" to herself. The cover of Chapter 21 shows Ela lounging on the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones, a la Cersi Lannister. One of the assassins — a former member of the Gillman squad — planning to take out Ela is a near-dead-ringer for Cagnazzo. Shark the Ripper is a combination of Hannibal Lecter and Dio Brando, wearing the former's iconic mask and straitjacket and quoting Dio's 'Do you remember how many loaves of bread you've eaten?' line (the line is parodied when it turns out he does remember the exact number of fish he's eaten). In Chapter 28, the Sea King reveals that if his child was a boy he would've named his son Guts, which Marin actually named her son. The cover of Chapter 30 is a parody of The Shape of Water, showing Ela embracing Gill-chan in the same pose as on movie's cover. The chapter itself has a parody of Full Metal Jacket, with a drill sergeant eel named Gunnery Sergeant Hamoman in reference to Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. Ela turns down her final meal with a "No, I don't think I will." The fish doctor in chapter 40 is pretty much an aquatic Black Jack.

Nonetheless, it's her actions that drive a lot of said characters interactions, directly or indirectly. Sango, for example, would never have met Himada if she hadn't followed Ela onto land, and Uotomo would have gone out of business if Ela hadn't exposed Sug's misdeeds.

The denizens of the ocean see Ela as a kind, beautiful Princess Classic, oblivious to the fact she's been eating their friends and loved ones. While the Princess isn't necessarily a bad person, later chapters imply she's eating fish more for the taste rather than to honour their memory. That said, Ela's angelic face can occasionally slip. The Killing Intent Ela unleashed when Queen Death Needles reveals that some humans consider her to be a delicacy was apparently so terrifying it freaked out a professional assassin. On a different note, Cody mentions that the Princess has a darker side, presumably something unrelated to her eating her fellow sealife.

Although chapter 12 shows she explicitly follows her fished friend to see where they go, she still ends up at the same restaurant. And even this has absolutely nothing on The Reveal regarding Ela's parentage. To make it short, the Mer-king dated Marin — who happened to look similar to Ela — but they broke up and found love somewhere else. The king met Ela's stepmother who introduced him to her twin sister whom he married, but she died after giving birth to Ela. This in turn caused her grieving sister and husband to get closer and eventually marry each other.

The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal (Manga) / int_f6624c30	type	Together in Death
The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal (Manga) / int_f6624c30	comment	Together in Death: Chapter 16 involves a Star-Crossed Lovers plot involving a noble heiress seabass named Fukko and her servant Seigo. Fukko is placed into an arranged marriage by her impoverished father, but Princess Ela advises Seigo to pursue his feelings for her... which results in Seigo getting fished. Fukko subsequently allows herself to be caught, and Ela eats them both, with them being reunited and getting married in the afterlife (or rather, Ela's stomach). In the finale, when Ela allows the Leviathan to eat her she has a vision of all the friends she herself has eaten welcoming her into the afterlife... which is later subverted as Ela not only survives but eats her way out of the Leviathan.
