Reading notes

The introduction address was linked from a Mermaid Melody discussion at Serebii. That makes its function clear even though the introduction’s original text was not recovered.

For an initial reading, keep three threads in view: a concealed identity, the friendships that make collective action possible, and a performance that can also be a confrontation. Write down which thread a scene advances before trying to summarize the entire plot.

The publisher’s title page offers a reliable premise. It also helps distinguish the work itself from the spellings and descriptions circulating through fan pages.
