<Story
Live by the sea, protect the sea, go by the sea... that's Blue Mermaid!
About 100 years ago, Japan lost much of its land to submergence due to plate displacement. In order to preserve the land, many floating cities were built one after another, but they soon became maritime cities, and with the increase of sea routes connecting them, many people were needed to protect the safety of the sea. As the number of routes connecting them increased, more and more people were needed to protect the safety of the sea, and as more and more women went to sea, "blue mermaids" became the dream of schoolgirls. In such an era, two childhood friends, Akeno Misaki and Moeka Chinamoeka, enroll in Yokosuka's Maritime High School together with their friends who share the same goal of becoming blue mermaids.
