Mission Mermaiden -hasumi And The Deep Sea Sist... Here

, a former deep-sea geologist turned Mermaiden operative, is assigned to investigate the distress signal. What she discovers is not a mechanical failure or hostile nation-state, but a genetically altered collective of abandoned deep-sea test subjects calling themselves the Deep Sea Sisters — each fused with bioluminescent marine life (anglerfish, giant squid, jellyfish). The Sisters, led by a melancholic singer named Lament , do not wish to return to the surface; they seek to drag the entire ocean floor into a silent, cold war against the land-dwellers who created and discarded them.
