History Manga / SchoolMermaid

!! Haruko and Yoshiko
* [[spoiler:AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Happens to Yoshiko as she was unaware what the price of failing to eat mermaid flesh meant.]]

* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler: Haruko wins, but the ending brings up the possibility that one day she will screw up and lose in the worst possible way]].
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Haruko pulls one on Yoshiko - helped along by the fact that the latter had more than one flaw that fed into it]]

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Haruko got Yoshiko turned into a mermaid because Yoshiko is easy prey, and Haruko will move on to the next person - boyfriend, victim, somebody. There is the possibility that she will screw up at some point, and get turned into a mermaid herself, though]].
* EvilPlan: [[spoiler: Brilliantly masterminded by Haruko on the unathletic, weak-hearted Yoshiko from the beginning.]]
* EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler: Haruko happily pulls the trigger and eats the mermaid while Yoshiko is going through her HeroicBSOD / VillainousBreakdown and is doomed by it.]]
* [[spoiler: EtTuBrute?]]
* [[spoiler: FalseFriend]]
* FlawExploitation: [[spoiler: Why Haruko chose to partner up with Yoshiko in the first place. She knew that Yoshiko wouldn't be able to bring herself to kill and eat the mermaid, and so would become one as well. This would get her out of the way and ensure Haruko would then have a weak and easily killable mermaid to hunt the next time she wanted one, since she knew Yoshiko's other flaws would remain after her transformation.]]
* HeroicBSOD / VillainousBreakdown -- [[spoiler: depending on how you view Yoshiko, her loss of composure in the last chapter spells her doom.]]
* ImAHumanitarian: [[spoiler: Anyone who eats mermaid flesh, since mermaids are magically transformed humans. Oh, and if you hunt a mermaid, but decide not to eat her, ''you'' get transformed into a mermaid immediately afterwards. Haruko is so nonchalant about this that she deliberately lures Yoshiko into hunting the mermaid so she can then eat Yoshiko in turn.]]
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Haruko is so [[{{Yandere}} obsessed]] over Tanaka that [[spoiler: she's not only killed and eaten several mermaids, but sets up another girl to be transformed so she can eat ''her'', too]].

* TheReveal: Let's just say there's a reason those mermaids are there in the first place...
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler: That creepy-ass grin of Haruko as Yoshiko is turned into a mermaid. You'll know it when you see it.]]

!! Toshiko and Naomi

!! Misaki and Noriko

After awhile of no word, the series seems to have returned as a serialization anthology series focusing on different girls who find the notebook. However some are quite...competitive in trying to get what they want.

Turns out there's more to the series as the story continued, this time with two new set of girls who find the notebook.

* [[spoiler:AndThenJohnWasAZombie]]

Turns out there's more to the series as the story continued, this time with two new set of girls who find the notebook. Unlike the last two however, one of them saw what will happen if they fail but took the risk anyhow leading into a competition between the two girls.

* LoveMakesYouEvil: Haruko is so [[{{Yandere}} obsessed]] over Tanaka that [[spoiler: she's not only killed and eaten several mermaids, but sets up another girl to be transformed so she can eat ''her'', too.

* FlawExploitation: [[spoiler: Why Haruko chose to partner up with Yoshiko in the first place. She knew that Yoshiko wouldn't be able to bring herself to kill and eat the mermaid, and so would become one as well. This would not only get her out of the way and end their previously unknown LoveTriangle, but would ensure Haruko would then have a weak and easily killable mermaid to hunt the next time she wanted one, since she knew Yoshiko's other flaws would remain after her transformation.]]

No, really. That's the premise. If you're still skeptical, [[www.mangahere.com/manga/school_ningyo/c001 see for yourself]]. A warning - the ending is pretty disturbing and definitely scary. View at your own risk.

* AuthorAppeal: There's only one reason behind the mermaids being portrayed as cute (but creepy) teenagers in classic school swimsuit...

A one shot, three chapter horror manga about two Japanese school girls who really want boyfriends. But rather than going through the trouble of getting the attention of a boy, talking to them and just being themselves, they decide on a much quicker way to do so... By hunting mermaids in their school and eating their flesh.

* OurMermaidsAreDifferent

* FridgeLogic -- Suppose that a girl named Hanako is in love with a boy named Tarou. Tarou had the surname Suzuki until two weeks ago, when his mother divorced and took custody of Tarou. His surname was thus legally changed to his mother's maiden name, Watanabe -- although he's still listed in the school's records as Tarou Suzuki. If Hanako decides to win Tarou's love by eating a mermaid, does she eat a W or S mermaid?
** Maybe the spell requires names that were given by birth.
