Ningyo no Namida

Driven by pure devotion to her late sister, a young girl sets out on a heartfelt mission to deliver her sibling's unspoken feelings to a beloved idol. Her intentions are entirely innocent, born from a desire to honor a cherished memory and ensure that her sister's final emotions do not go unheard. However, what begins as a simple, earnest gesture quickly unravels when a single misstep derails her plans. Instead of finding closure, she inadvertently stumbles into a tangled web of lies and deception, forcing her to navigate a situation far more complicated and perilous than she ever anticipated. As the falsehoods compound around her, the girl finds herself trapped in circumstances where honesty feels increasingly impossible. The emotional weight of her sister's passing collides with the mounting pressure of maintaining a fragile facade, transforming her sincere tribute into a harrowing ordeal. She must find a way to untangle the deceit she has fallen into before it consumes her completely. In addition to this central narrative, the manga features a standalone short story following a young runaway girl. Fleeing from her everyday life, she unexpectedly crosses paths with an enigmatic boy, leading to a brief but intriguing encounter that explores themes of escape and unexpected connection.
