Mermaid's Scar

From 1995 onward, Viz Media published this single-issue manga by legendary creator Rumiko Takahashi. A standalone story rather than a series, Mermaid's Scar explores the dark, supernatural consequences of immortality as a man cursed by mermaid flesh confronts the price of eternal life. It stands as a haunting, self-contained entry in Takahashi's body of work, distinct from her more comedic epics.
