[edit] Story
The story starts with an unscrupulous fisherman named Mallick who is using fishing bombs in open water. Mallick and his assistant Carlo are gathering the spoils from their most recent fishing when they notice a body tangled in their nets. Upon closer inspection they are shocked to see that the body is not human, and is in fact that of a merman. As they are pulling the body in, their boat is hit by a powerful force that threatens to push it over. Mallick looks into the water and sees the vague outline of a person who is pointing a trident straight at him. Mallick and Carlo manage to get the merman's body into the boat and escape.
The person with the trident turns out to be Diana, a mermaid with superhuman strength and the eldest daughter of the dead merman. Although she loathes human beings, she travels on land to seek out her two sisters, Venus and June, to help her locate Mallick and seek justice for their father's murder.
Venus, the middle sister, is working in a cafe where she swims in the tank with a fake mermaid's tail for the amusement of the customers. When Diana finds her she is appalled to see Venus performing for humans, and suspects that there's another reason for her working there. As for June, the youngest sister, she is working in a sea park where she can remain close to Randy, the man she's in love with but cannot find the courage to confess to.
Although the three sisters do not get along because of their differing life choices, they agree to band together to find Mallick and avenge their father's death.
