Ningyo no Meunière: Shiba Yuuki Sakushinshuu

A collection of eight one-shots by Yuki Shiba, each exploring a different facet of human connection and the strange, often whimsical, encounters that shape our lives. From a mermaid served as a dish to a robot living in a house, the stories introduce characters facing the extraordinary within the ordinary.

A young girl meets a mysterious classmate named Hanako, an old man finds himself in a peculiar predicament, and a gossip bird spreads rumors through a neighborhood. As the narratives unfold, characters grapple with loneliness, unexpected friendships, and the surreal moments that challenge their perceptions of reality.
