Seto no Hanayome (TV and DVD)
The spotlight is on the dark world of the Yakuza (Japanese mafia) in new romantic comedy Seto no Hanayome (The Inland Sea Bride), a parody of Yakuza movies and television shows.
Seto no Hanayome is an original manga work by Tahiko Kimura whose previous works include Yo no na wa Zushio and Artifact: Red.
The anime adaptation is being produced by GONZO whose anime hits include Gate Keepers, Full Metal Panic!, Samurai 7 and Getsumen Toheiki Mina. The show is currently airing on TV Tokyo in Japan but we should see it soon on Animax.
The story starts out as the Seto family visit Grandma Seto at the ancestral home, near the seaside. San Seto heads off to the beach for a swim. Unfortunately, he gets a cramp and is so far out that nobody hears his cries for help.
As he starts to drown, San starts to lose consciousness. But just before he blacks out, he sees a pretty, young girl swimming towards him. She has a fish tail instead of legs.
