So a couple years ago I was read this manga, then I finished, because it was
an incomplete series, but then I lost it.

Basically, what I remember is that there was this girl who wanted to join the
army after she finished school to help support her mother, and she meets this
very weird girl who thinks she is a mermaid and constantly drinks water out of
a huge bottle. The girl has weird marks and bruises on her skin, but she
brushes is off as "mermaid burns" or something else.

Then, a celebrity comes to the town, who was super famous and the army girl
liked him a little bit. Some stuff happens, and then in the end, it turns out
that the celebrity was the "mermaid girls" father and he was abusing her. The
series finished after that.

Please help, it was a very sad manga!

(Sugar Candy Bullets Can’t Pierce Anything).

The following summaries are included on the website:

> When a strange new girl by the name of Umino Mokuzu transfers in from Tokyo
> and declares that she is a "Mermaid", she quickly becomes the center of
> attention. Noticing that Nagisa is the only classmate that seems to have no
> interest in her, Umino quickly decides that they should become "precious
> friends". Despite Nagisa's objections, Umino begins to follow her wherever
> she goes.

and

> Umino's rockstar father is shown to be aloof towards her at best and
> emotionally abusive at worst, once leaving her behind in a grocery store
> parking lot simply because a defective shopping cart made him angry and
> that's only the tip of the iceberg.
