Lucia as a young mermaid saw a young boy on a ship, when the ship was hit with a tidal wave the boy was knocked into the ocean. Lucia saves the boy and entrust him with her pink pearl. Now years later Lucia must now go to the surface and find and retrieve her pearl. She never expected to fall in love with the boy she met years ago. However there is a legend that says if she confess to him and tells him she's really a mermaid, that she will be turned into bubbles! She must now struggle against a villain wanting to capture her and all seven mermaid princesses and her own heart, which is complicated by not knowing if Kaito loves her human form or her mermaid form.

As a whole, Mermaid Melody is nice. From the animation, to the somewhat cliche plot and characters, there are only a few holes that were left untouched. The series moved at a nice pace, neither rushing nor speeding the story along, even with two complete seasons.

One gets to view all the dreams of the characters be realized, and experience a bit of beautiful tragedy at the end. Pink Hanamori even leave room for a sequel season, titled: Mermaid Melody PURE. Still, I will not lie, if you are not somewhat into this genre, this series is not for you.
