About the series
Mermaid Boys (2018–present, Yen Press) is a three-issue comic series that reimagines the classic mermaid myth as a boy-band drama, where a young man discovers his secret lineage to the sea while navigating the pressures of K-pop stardom. Published under Yen Press's original comics imprint, the series blends fantasy with the high-stakes world of idol culture, offering a fresh, genre-blending take on coming-of-age and identity. Its concise, three-issue run delivers a tight, visually-driven story that stands out for its playful subversion of fairy-tale tropes.
