MANGA: Umi no Soko

Umi no Soko – Jnnkleeche

Living in a seaside village, Wakashio is secretly in love with Yakaze, a member of the forest tribe. As the youngest son of the chieftain, Wakashio is living a difficult life, and spending time with Yakaze is the only solace he can find. However, when his brother discovers their relationship, Yakaze is killed. Just when Wakashio sinks into despair, Yakaze returns in a different form. With pale skin and red eyes, he may look like a monster, but his heart remains unchanged. The two still love each other as they once did, and begin to search for a way to live together. Ghosts, xenomorphs, tentacles, switching… A tale of lovers whom death does not part that takes us from the chaotic depths of the sea where histories and cultures intertwine, to a brighter place.

Bottom of the Sea is a monster-fucking fantasy romance set in a seaside village full of scantily dressed men.

The opening panels set the tone with the MCs Wakashio and his sea creature lover, Yakaze, in the middle of strenuous activities. The storytelling was initially confusing because not only it was moving backward, it also interrupted by the two horny MCs going hard at it.

The plot became clearer when it caught up with the present time. It is a forbidden romance between Wakashio, son of the chief of the seaside warriors, and Yakaze, a trader from one of the the mountain villages the seaside warriors, known as shark men, pillaged. Yakaze was killed, and he later returned as a sea monster.

The story is surprisingly deep, dark, and twisted. It involves murders, old magic, curses, and the consequences of the shark men’s atrocities. There’s implied rape by someone who might be Wakashio’s brother, although I’m not sure because he never mentioned any relations. But the bastard also calls the chief “father” so he could be. He also throws homophobic slurs at Wakashio while grabbing the man’s ass.

This is one of the most explicit manga I’ve read. No glow dicks here. They show all the parts, including Yakaze’s various appendages. Yet in the middle of heat, there a sweet story of childhood friends from different cultures who grew to love the man they each become. And it is a love that endured beyond death.

Recommended if you love tattoos, muscles and extra appendages.
