While heading home from school, Tatsumi's eyes catch sight of a man distressingly collapsed near the serene lake. Intrigued, he hastens to aid the stranger, only to discover an inexplicable revelation: the fallen individual is none other than Wakasa, an enchanting merman! Wakasa reveals that his underwater abode has succumbed to the perils of pollution, rendering it uninhabitable. In a noble gesture of compassion, Tatsumi willingly extends the sanctuary of his own bathtub for Wakasa to seek refuge. However, Tatsumi quickly realizes that his once ordinary existence is destined for an extraordinary shift. The vivacious merman, along with his finned companions—Takasu, Mikuni, and Maki—frequently barges into Tatsumi's life, unintentionally adding a whirlwind of excitement and chaos. As Tatsumi indulges their insatiable curiosity about the human world, he also discovers moments of genuine joy amidst their childlike mischief. Navigating this captivating bond with finesse, Tatsumi strives to maintain a delicate balance between his normal routine and the newfound companionship that has touched his heart.
