Mermaid Forest

A rocky shore. Eternal autumn. Fishing nets. Yuuta has lived for centuries since tasting mermaid flesh. He searches for a cure alongside Mana, another immortal, but finds only grotesque villages obsessed with perverse rituals. A grim, episodic fable in the manner of classic U.S. anthology comics.
