“난 바다에서 온 인어야!”
인어와 수영 특기생의 방과 후 비밀 수업!

신초아에겐 누구에게도 말 못 할 비밀이 있다. 동화책에 나올 법한 상상 속 존재 ‘인어’가 바로 자신이란 것. 인간 아버지와 인어 어머니 사이에서 태어난 초아는 인어지만 헤엄에 서툴러 성인이 될 때까지 아버지가 있는 육지에 올라와 생활하게 된다. 가끔씩 자유롭게 헤엄치는 수영 선수들을 보며 씁쓸한 마음을 다독이던 초아에게 어느 날 인생을 바꿔놓는 사건이 일어난다. 같은 반 수영 특기생 이수영에게 정체를 들켜버린 것! 그것도 반에서 제일 시끄러운 수영에게. 초아는 자신의 비밀을 지켜 달라고 신신당부하지만, 과연 바람대로 지켜질 수 있을까?

Choa é uma sereia, mas nunca conseguiu aprender a nadar. Logo, vive na terra com seu pai, enquanto sua mãe e suas irmãs vivem no mar. Certo dia, Soo, um membro do time de natação da escola, descobre seu segredo e oferece ensiná-la a nadar.
Pontos positivos:
1 Choa é uma personagem adorável e por ser uma sereia vivendo na Terra, poderia ser bem boba e fraca, mas ela é determinada e não se deixa fraquejar perante as pessoas;
2 traços de Choa, como ela preferir ficar sozinha ou evitar visitar sua família, são explicados conforme a história se passa;
3 o desenvolvimento da amizade de Soo e Choa é encantador;
4 a forma como é formado um triângulo amoroso, mas que não pressiona a protagonista a escolher alguém, mas sim ser algo natural do envolvimento dos personagens. No caso, o personagem que não fica com a protagonista não se torna central a história;
5 os mal-entendidos são pontuais e críveis;
6 em meio a história, há pequenas piadas para quebrar o drama e manter o bom humor da situação.
Pontos negativos:
1 não entendi bem como funciona o relacionamento da família de Choa.

Arrancó bien, pero a paritr de un poco antes de de la mitad la historia se me hizo re larga y aburrida. Podría haberle sacado 50ish capítulos y la historia habría sido millones de veces mejor.

2 de 5 estrellas.

Tiene sirenas, ¿y cuál es mi criatura favorita del universo? Las sirenas.

Aparte de ello, la historia es preciosa, o sea, una sirena que no puede nadar y ahora le dan clases de natación, es todo tan lindo😭

I lost this series when webtoon seemed to just stop posting in English, but I loved how much I read before that I'm willing to pull out Google Translate or my Korean Textbook for this.

-Its fluffy, tense, got good romance and overall is a cute read.

Read this series on WEBTOON and it is far and away my favorite. It is so wholesome and innocent and comfortable, while still being funny and entertaining. Webtoon needs more sweet stories like this.

★★★★
[4 stars]

AMAZING. (Though it’s a love triangle. UGHH.) I dislike love triangles but I am way to invested with the plotline already.

By the way, there are 96 chapters according to webtoon and 7 volumes on goodreads. So I really just divided 96 by 7 and rounded it to 14. So each volume is my review for each 14 chapters!!
(This goes for every manhwa I review)

Did that make sense?

I said after I cleared my mind, I’ll post a review and here it is finally.

Honestly, this is bland. It’s not the best, not the worse neither. Is it something I regret reading? No. Was I thankful that I’ve read it? Also no. If you’re just finding something to waste your time on and just basically looking for a book to read while not having to stress out about the conflict then maybe this is for you.

I really hope someday we get to see this in an anime format. I loves this story. Was really sweet and cool!

My only note and wish would be that we had more of the best friend and his storyline, I think would had make things interesting for a good love triangle.
