Swimming Lessons for a Mermaid

Choa is a mermaid who cannot swim. Discouraged, she trades the ocean for a pair of human legs. That is a delightful, self-deprecating start, and the series builds its comedy on a mermaid who has given up her world for something she is not yet ready to handle. Life on land is full of unexpected trials.The strength is the charm. Choa's clumsy determination is endearing, and the full-colour art brings the seaside and the land to life. The comedy lands often.The weaknesses are clear. Some sports beats feel forced, and the romance follows familiar shapes. Readers wanting depth may find it light.Recommended for fans of cheerful fantasy comedies with a mermaid twist. Expect a bright, easy ride.
