When I was a young child, I felt curiosity about the unknown, like every other young child. But in my case, my curiosity was focused on the mysterious human world above the water. I longed for answers for my questions. "How do they swim without fins?" "What kinds of food do they eat?" Even "How do they go to the bathroom?"
But, alas, there was no one to help me. As I grew older, my curiosity grew quieter, but it never disappeared. So when I turned seventeen, I decided that I would go to the human world, find out for myself the answers to my questions, and then pass that information on to future generations.
I had no idea how out of my depth I would be, if you'll excuse the pun. I could barely do anything when I reached land—I couldn't read, couldn't dress myself, couldn't even stand up. I was fortunate enough to encounter an extremely kind human boy named Yugi Mutou. With his help, I was able to learn a great deal about the human world. And now, I believe that I can blend seamlessly into American human culture.
This book will center around my experiences with Yugi and with his friends. I hope that you will find out everything that you wish to know about human beings, and I hope even more that you will realize that humans and merpeople are more alike than they seem.
