Ah, naruhodon't

There should be suicide tag.

Thank you very much for the oneshot

So i guess the one who was killed by MC's father is a loan shark?(from how there's a lot of money around the floor)
I feel bad for MC's mom though, being left behind alone. Although i can't blame MC too much since he's still a child...

Kind of reminds me of Candy Bullets Can't Pierce Anything - https://mangadex.org/title/0df0ffad-e651-4364-8408-b49930e8f763/a-lollypop-or-a-bullet
Both are mermaid themed manga about child abuse.

Those villagers must be really proud of themselves. Hopefully a tsunami cleaned out the place afterwards.

Page 3 and page 4 have typos. Mellow has a double e on page 3, and "Seh changes" should be "She changed".

Story and art were good, I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the TL.

Has enough ambiguity to give me some copium, with the loss of the bag and shoes simply being symbols of letting go of their emotional/historical baggage.

I think the author seems jsut to have an idea story from the Irelandn tales on mermaid.

HOLD THE FUCK UP!!

It's a double. yes, indeed.

 

[WindMil]

What about the mom? after everything shes already been through, now even her son is dead (supposedly)

 

[Guinn]

Implied, not confirmed. My headcanon says they left that stuff behind and swam to another village to start a new life together.

Suicide is the weak way out. Become successful instead. Then buy out your shitty neighbourhood. Control everything. Flaunt your wealth to their broke ass. That's the better way.

You don't have the right to call people who commit suicide weak, fucking asshole.

Just saying the truth. Life sucks. Even more so for some people. but if you do commit suicide, who really wins in the end? You, who died? Or those who caused you pain? You are dead, so obviously you aren't winning. You want to win. You have to win. And to win, you have to be strong. Swat away thoughts of suicide. Think of the future, set a long term goal, then set a short term goal. Go at it. Slowly break down the walls that life throws at you. Overcome everything and win. If you fail, go do it again. Don't quit. You won't win if you quit.

Me? I'm still threading the line of poverty. But at least I'm not living on a house with no roof anymore. At least I have enough food to live now. Enough water to get me to next month.

Like I said, suicide is the easy way out. The weak way out. Don't be weak. Be strong. If you are weak, then slowly get stronger. It's the only way for people like us, who drew the shit stick in life. to get ahead in life. Get stronger, be successful. Even if you are slow, what's important is that you win in the end.

Seeing as most people's interpretation on the serve side, and as the translators didn't leave a note. Even if our protagonists are kids, here's the obligatory comment of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline three-digit number, 988.
They're available 24/7; it's easy to project decisions being made about one's life, but the mind is powerful; narratively this story is incidental. It can feel like life is the only point of control in your life when you're in the mire, claim your ground and reach out to others, find your roots in things you enjoy, the things that will make you thrive; show resilience as a boat in the ocean being battered by waves and scrapping the hull over rocks. As much as people can wish the worst, there are those who wish better on your behalf.
