Kaikisen

Yosuke Yashiro's family has a unique and peculiar tradition—every 60 years, they receive an egg from a mermaid which is kept safe in a shrine. Once the egg matures, the family carefully returns it to the sea, continuing the cycle. In return for this ritual, the merpeople bless their coastal town with abundant fish catches and tranquil seas. However, commercial developers begin to encroach upon the peaceful seaside village, and Yosuke's father is swayed by the allure of modern prosperity, turning the mermaid's egg into a tourist attraction. What will become of the promise their family made to the mermaids so long ago?
