Siren Memory: Memory of Mermaids by Daijiro Morohoshi

Today we're gonna take a look at another Siren manga, this time by artist Daijiro Morohoshi. This comic comes from the second book, Siren 2 Maniacs, whoich is based on the second game. The Maniacs books are chockfull of information and concept art on the games, and if you have a comprehensive understanding of the Japanese language, they're perfect for any Siren fan. If you don't, there's a lovely site, FFTranslations, that has parts of the maniacs books translated.

This short manga concerns a young man, Tatsuo, who has lingering memories of mermaids, along with his sister, whom went missing many years ago. His mother is reticent about their old hometown, and with his father gone, his only source of answers is this tiny coastal town.

He makes his way, unbeknownst to his mother, back to the tiny village, to find out what happened to her all those years ago. When he gets there, all he finds are villagers that insist they don't remember him, and a shrine master that tries to keep him from a coastal cave that he remembers from his sister's disappearance.

Are the shrine, the cave, the memory of mermaids and his sister related somehow? As Tetsuo ventures deeper into the dark secrets of the town, he finds himself getting closer and closer to true horror.
