In a Japanese legend, eating mermaid flesh can grant immortality, but more often it causes death or transforms the victim into a cursed Lost Soul. The story follows Yuta, a five‑century‑old immortal who roams Japan seeking a cure, encountering others whose lives have been devastated by the same macabre wish.
