My Bride Is a Mermaid (Japanese: 瀬戸の花嫁, Hepburn: Seto no Hanayome, lit. "The Inland Sea Bride") is a Japanese manga series written by Tahiko Kimura. The manga was serialized in Square Enix's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Gangan Wing from 2002 to 2008 and in Monthly Gangan Joker in 2010. In 2004, a drama CD based on the series was released by Frontier Works.[3] The series tells a story of a young mermaid who saves a young boy named Nagasumi Michisio from drowning. To avoid death, Nagasumi chooses the option to marry her.

A 26-episode anime television series adaptation animated by Gonzo, directed by Seiji Kishi, and written by Makoto Uezu aired in Japan on TV Tokyo between April and September 2007. Two original video animation episodes were released in November 2008 and January 2009.[4] Odex, a Singaporean distributor, released it in English in Singapore as Seto No Hana Yome.[5] The anime was licensed for a North American distribution by Funimation (rebranded as Crunchyroll, LLC in 2022) and was released on home video from July to September 2010.[2]
