In a society that values conformity and uniformity, can the mermaid princess Mio truly embrace her unique identity? The traditional fairy tale tells the story of a mermaid who sacrifices her magical powers for the love of a human prince.

Princess Mio is engaged to Prince Chika, but they have never met in person. He is unaware of her secret identity as a mermaid. When her tutor, Yuri, takes her out of the castle to interact with her subjects, Mio begins to accept and embrace her true self. However, Yuri has his own hidden agenda.

When Mio confides in her father, the king, about her desire to live as a mermaid openly, he punishes her. Feeling trapped and frustrated, Mio must find a way to stay true to herself while navigating the complex social dynamics of her kingdom.
