Muromi-san (波打際のむろみさん, Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san, lit."Muromi-san on the shore") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Keiji Najima. It is being adapted into an anime television series.^[1]^[2]

Plot

Takurō Mukōjima is an angler boy. He lands a ningyo (Japanese mermaid) Muromi-san and has a chat with her and her strange friends. The entire title given to the series is in English "Muromi-San and the Legendary Beasts". Muromi is developmentally about 16 years old, but is actually a very old legendary creature, her sisters and she are guardians of the Earth. 'Takkun', as Muromi calls him, is a high school student who doesn't have a lot of motivation or care for all the attention Muromi wants to give him. But he still winds up getting involved in Muromi's adventures. There are a number of legendary monsters 'Takkun' meets and almost gets eaten by.

Characters

Muromi-san (むろみさん): Voiced by: Yukari Tamura; A cheerful mermaid who speaks Hakata dialect. She often goes ashore and enjoys human culture. Somehow she feels kindly toward Takurō.
Takurō Mukōjima (向島拓朗, Mukōjima Takurō): Voiced by: Takahiro Mizushima; A high school student who likes fishing. He has a cool head and doesn't panic even when he faced strange creatures. He is called Takkun by Muromi.
Levia-san (リヴァイアさん, Rivaia-san): Voiced by: Mai Nakahara; Muromi's senpai mermaid who speaks Kokura dialect. She was once a fierce monster, but was reformed by Muromi and is generous now.

Hii-chan (ひぃちゃん): Voiced by: Ai Nonaka; An innocent mermaid who also speaks Hakata dialect. She calls Muromi "sis (おねえたん, onee-tan)." Loves animals, and is good friends especially with dolphins.

Yeti (イエティ, Ieti): Voiced by: Chiwa Saito; A cryptid in Himalayas. Unlike the general reputation, it is cute, quiet and diligent. It is shy, but is friends with Muromi. It hates being pulled by its ears.
Harpy (ハーピー, hāpī): Voiced by: Kanako Sakai; A childish, forgetful bird-girl who lives with and takes on Yeti and often pounces on mermaids. She also has a really short memory, forgetting everything important after walking three steps.
Otohime (乙姫, Otohime): Voiced by: Saki Fujita; An owner of the Ryūgū-jō, a legendary undersea palace. However, the Ryugu-jo went bankrupt and she is reduced to a part-time worker in human world now.
Kawabata (川端, Kawabata): A Kappa friend of Muromi. Like other kappa, he is skilled in medicine and raising cucumbers. He dislikes humans because they killed his older brother (his mummy is the one in the Zuiryū-ji temple in Osaka) but takes a liking to Takurō.
