Sun's father Gōzaburō is enraged about his daughter's sudden marriage. Between Gōzaburō's constant attempts on his life and the madcap antics of a slew of antagonists such as evil pop stars who want Nagasumi to ditch Sun for them, rival Yakuza and men who want to marry Sun themselves , Nagasumi has a hard time transitioning into his new married lifestyle.
== Characters ==
=== Michishio family ===
; The Michishio family is the family of the male protagonist Nagasumi which consists of Nagasumi himself with his mom, dad and paternal grandmother. The Michishio family was a normal family until Nagasumi was saved by Sun in which they had to take her in their household in order for Nagasumi to not be killed by the Seto Clan who has the desire to kill him in order to not have to kill Sun or even give her up to Nagasumi himself.
;* Nagasumi Michishio (満潮 永澄, Michishio Nagasumi)
;**Voiced by: Takahiro Mizushima (Japanese); Todd Haberkorn (English)
;**Nagasumi is the main protagonist of the series. Nagasumi is likely the only one in his family who has a clear head, apart from his grandmother. When push comes to shove, Nagasumi demonstrates a great deal of inner strength, and even has a "danger alert" mode, where the ahoge strand of hair on top of his head perks up and he exhibits the near-superhuman ability to dodge and evade practically anything or anyone that approaches him with ill intent. He decided to face his fears and take on the responsibility of taking care of Sun as his wife, although it does not make it easy on him due to the fact that almost everyone in the Seto group (except Sun's mother—Ren, and Masa) is against their union. As the series progresses, however, he truly falls in love with Sun. During the final episode of the anime, he confesses his love in front of her. Sun often uses her Song of Heroes to power Nagasumi up in battle situations, but in the case where Sun is directly threatened he is able to activate the power-up by himself. In the final chapter of the manga, Nagasumi almost drowned a second time and Sun saved him again, only this time he sincerely proposes to her after she gave her first kiss to him. At the end of the anime, Nagasumi coincidentally gained the appearance of a bulky strongman.
;* Nagasumi's father (永澄の父, Nagasumi no Chichi)
;**Voiced by: Atsushi Imaruoka (Japanese); Andy Mullins (English)
;**Nagasumi's father is always shown as an object of suffering, due to his wife's dying love for him. Whenever his wife shows her interest in Masa, he is shown in a depressed state, like the time she offers Masa her home cooked meal, he is shown coughing on a burger and then subsequently harangued by his boss to get back to work. He was sitting at the table in the living room depressed because he felt like he was rejected by his family as he felt like they left him no food, but was told that he missed his chance of getting food because of him mumbling in a depressed state. When his wife falls for Nagasumi (because he took the love potion that makes him bear the face of a girl's dream man and Nagasumi's mom has a crush on Masa and she saw Nagasumi bear the face of Masa). He was sitting on the swing at a playground in a depressed state.
;* Nagasumi's mother (永澄の母, Nagasumi no Haha)
;**Voiced by: Noriko Namiki (Japanese); Lydia Mackay (English)
;**Nagasumi's mother is the easy going type, and has an interest for Masa, which her husband is not particularly happy about. Current events in her life have caused her interest towards her husband to gradually die out, but overall she loves her family (including her husband) dearly. She also greatly enjoys having Sun and Lunar living with them, treating them like family as well as the "daughters" she never had.
;* Nagasumi's grandmother (永澄の祖母, Nagasumi no Sobo)
;**Voiced by: Eriko Matsushima (Japanese); Juli Erickson (English)
;**Nagasumi's paternal grandmother who lives near the Seto Inland Sea. She makes an appearance early in the story and allows Nagasumi to stay at her house during their stay with her. She does not appear again after the fourth episode of the anime. Nagasumi's family visit her once more as the manga concluded.
=== Seto family ===
The Seto family is the family of Sun Seto that consists of Sun and her parents who are the head family of the Seto Clan, One of the influental merperson Yakuza gangs under the sea. Their HQ is located under the surface of the Seto Inland Sea. The gang (except for Ren Seto) despises the fact that Sun had married Nagasumi as she is the daughter and only child of their leader.
* Sun Seto (瀬戸 燦, Seto San)
** Voiced by: Haruko Momoi (Japanese); Alexis Tipton (English)
** The female, mermaid protagonist of the story, Sun is the daughter of the yakuza Seto Group's boss Gōzaburō Seto. She is a firm believer in the chivalrous spirit of mermaids, and is devoted to her role as Nagasumi's wife. She is also in love with Nagasumi. Since she has yet to become an adult, Sun is unable to completely maintain her human form, and her legs revert to a tail whenever she comes into contact with water. She often cites the similarity between the Japanese words "ninkyō" (任侠, chivalry) and "ningyo" (人魚, mermaid) to stress her adherence to honorable courses of action; in the Funimation release of the anime, her assertion is rephrased as "honor among thieves is honor under the seas". When Sun enters chivalry mode, cherry blossom petals can be seen falling and the enka-style song "Namida Ichirin" (涙一輪, lit. Tears of Flowers) can be heard in the background. It is later revealed during Lunar and Nagasumi's wedding that if the need arises she can fight very well with a sword and also shows behavior much like a yakuza member. Her name is related to Seto Inland Sea and is a direct reference to the Sun. She has her own personal body guards but does not use them same way that Lunar does. They only show up on matters involving Lunar's personal body guards whom they (Sun's body guards) are constantly at war with. Because it is well known that cats are fond of meat, particularly fish, like most mermaids, she has a fear of cats (ailurophobia), but is capable of overcoming it if the circumstances require it.
* Gozaburo Seto (瀬戸 豪三郎, Seto Gōzaburō)
** Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (Japanese); John Swasey (English)
** Gōzaburō is a sea dragon who is the boss of the Seto Group. He dotes on his daughter and hates Nagasumi for, as he sees it, trying to steal her away. By pulling strings at the ministry of education, Gōzaburō, together with many of the Seto Group members, enrolls in the staff of Nagasumi's junior-high school in order to watch over Sun, thus becoming Nagasumi and Sun's homeroom teacher. Even though he is the yakuza head of the Seto group as well as a powerfully built man with a formidable attitude, he has an overwhelming fear of cats (or kittens) due to an incident that happened in his childhood and a fear of his wife as she will not hesitate to hand out punishment.
* Ren Seto (瀬戸 蓮, Seto Ren)
** Voiced by: Makiko Nabei (Japanese); Stephanie Young (English)
** Ren is a mermaid who is Sun's mother. She likes to encourage Sun and Nagasumi. The most feared member of the Seto Group she usually tries to keep her husband and any other Seto Group members in check, often handing out extreme forms of punishment if they step out of line and has the final say on all matters. She also enjoys teasing Nagasumi, whom she thinks to be cute. She transfers with several other members of the Seto Group to Nagasumi's school, becoming the new school nurse. Like her daughter Sun when Ren enters chivalry mode pink flower petals can be seen falling and the song "Namida Ichirin" (Ren-san version (-蓮さんver.-)) can be heard in the background. Ren on appearance is seen as a kind and gentle person but shows behavior much like a yakuza member. Her name Ren (蓮) literally means lotus flower.
==== Seto Group members ====
The Seto Group members are members of the Yakuza who are not members of the official Seto Clan itself and are cronies of the clan. Every one of them except Masa, despises the fact that their boss's daughter is being married to a human as she is seen as the heir to their boss.
* Masa (政)
** Voiced by: Katsuki Murase (Japanese); Christopher Sabat (English)
** Masa is a member of the Seto Group and the kendo teacher of Sun. He has an afro and always wearing sunglasses. Masa is the one who, through performing CPR, "stole" Nagasumi's first kiss. He also transfers to Nagasumi's school, becoming his math teacher (whose word problems tend to describe to the mathematical aspects of underworld gang operations). There is a running gag of Nagasumi displaying an attraction towards Masa since their 'first kiss' in the first episode. Masa is the only one in the Seto clan apart from Sun's mother who does not object to the engagement and sometimes even gives advice to Nagasumi. Usually he is portrayed a silent man. However, when he drinks he tends to talk too much and reminisce. He is revealed later in the series to be the long-lost brother of Akeno Shiranui. He previously held the position his sister held but lost his memory after accidentally being struck in the head. Masa cares a lot for Akeno and is very protective of her often beating up those who are aggressive towards her. Akeno later learns Masa is her brother and with help from Nagasaki, they reconcile. He one of the few Merfolk not afraid of cats; he says that he decided to overcome the fear as a child.
* Maki (巻)
** Voiced by: Natsuko Kuwatani (Japanese); Monica Rial (English)
** Maki (code named "Spiral Shell") (or "conch shell," in the anime) is a tiny assassin working for the Seto Group and a devoted friend of Sun. She uses a shell to shoot water balls as fast and powerful bullets and has a seemingly unlimited supply of ammunition. She, like Gōzaburō, dislikes the idea of "losing" Sun to Nagasumi, and will often distract Sun with sweet talk in order to fire her shell gun at Nagasumi. She thinks that Nagasumi and Lunar would be a much better match. She has a fear of cats (ailurophobia), but much to her dismay the cat at the Nagasumi's house has a liking to Maki and is often seen around her when Maki is not with Sun. She often refers to Nagasumi as a "sea louse" (which could be a racial slur).
* Shark Fujishiro (シャーク藤代, Shāku Fujishiro)
** Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Japanese); Bryan Massey (English)
** Shark is a member of Seto Group initially summoned by Sun's father during the Michishio family's initial visit to the Seto family home to attack Nagasumi. He has been with the Seto Clan since (and possibly before) Sun was a child. In human form, he later becomes Nagasumi's P.E. teacher. By his thinking, the sooner Nagasumi dies, the sooner everyone can return home. He often acts on this logic, trying to eat him. According to him, the answer to all problems is by eating the person causing the chaos, be it Sun's or Lunar's fans or a suicide bomber from his own group. He is often seen sleeping and unlike Kai Mikawa he has the ability to only transform his head into that of a shark while his legs remain human. No matter if he's asking a question or making a statement, he always sounds like he's asking a question.
* Octopus Nakajima (オクトパス中島, Okutopasu Nakajima)
** Voiced by: Masashi Yabe (Japanese); Chris Cason (English)
** Nakajima is another member of the Seto Group and is actually a giant octopus. He too becomes a teacher at Nagasumi's school. Unlike the others, his human form is never shown in the entire anime. Most of the time he appears stuck inside the school due to his huge size. It's also shown that some of his tentacles are missing. Some scenes taking place in the cafeteria will show octopus being fed to the students.
=== Edomae family ===
* Lunar Edomae (江戸前 留奈, Edomae Runa)
** Voiced by: Sakura Nogawa (Japanese); Cherami Leigh (English)
** Lunar is a childhood friend and rival of Sun. She has used the powers of her mermaid voice to become an idol singer. She seems to suffer from a superiority complex, and she never passes up an attempt to overshadow Sun. She initially thought that Sun was boasting Nagasumi to her, and in an attempt to outdo Sun she decides to steal him away from her by making Nagasumi her servant, since Nagasumi has also seen her mermaid form. Later she decides to live in Nagasumi's house until his servant status is over. It was unclear if she has developed a liking to him (since she has decided to learn how to cook and make him a packed lunch, although still in an attempt to beat Sun). However, it is then revealed that she does in fact have feelings for Nagasumi, and planned on marrying him, but this is stopped by Sun, though she continues living with him even after her wedding is canceled. In the manga, Lunar accepts Nagasumi into her family during the commotion of the wedding; therefore, she is also technically married to Nagasumi. Sun accepts her decision and they both put an end to the war caused by Sun's interference. Lunar controls her own personal bodyguards made up of the boys of Isono Junior High school and she often calls them in to defend her, using them like her own personal army. They are currently at war with Sun's bodyguards. Lunar usually refers to herself in plural form ("us", "we", "our" and so on), and has a trademark "hohoho" laugh that can be heard before she enters the scene. She, like most other mermaids, has a fear of cats.
* Lunar's Papa (ルナパパ, Runa-Papa)
** Voiced by: Tesshō Genda (Japanese); J. Michael Tatum (English)
** President Edomae is Lunar's father and leader of the Edomae group (whereas the Seto group's holdings are in business, the Edomae group focuses in construction and real estate). He is two meters (6 ft 7 in) tall and constantly dressed in a black skintight suit. Lunar's Papa is a man of very few words and is modeled after the Terminator. He is an extremely well built man (though in the manga he looks more thin), a point of humor in the show due to his body sounding like metal when hit. His actions are often direct references to the Terminator movies, such as sinking into an incinerator while giving a thumbs up and saying in English, "I'll be back". His appearance theme is a parody of the lead music score from the Terminator movie 'Judgment Day'. Despite his cold and unemotional appearance, he cares very much for his daughter and everything he can for her, though discreetly so. Unlike Gozaburo, he appears to be more accepting of the relationship between Nagasumi and Lunar. He is also extremely rich, as evidenced when he uses US$10 billion dollars (in cash) to fund a film that Lunar is in. He also has considerable influence in the ministry of education and is able to get into Nagasumi's school as a middle school student so he could get closer to Lunar. In the final episode, he is revealed to have laser eye beams. He is often seen in female school uniform, much to the disgust of Lunar.
* Amano Sagami (相模　天王, Sagami Amano)
** Lunar's mother and Lunar's Papa's ex-wife, prior to the divorce her last name was Edomae. Thought to have left the two when Lunar was five years-old due to losing her affection towards her husband, but in fact became a convict and spent ten years in prison because the crime of running over her clumsy husband - who had immersed himself in work without paying attention to her and their daughter - with a car. True nature is the same as Lunar and she finds a kindred spirit in her daughter when entering in this mode. Lunar became a pop idol partially due to a sense of rivalry with Sun caused by the above-mentioned nature, but her true feelings was that she wanted Amano to see her in the television. She played around with Lunar using the "war song" during the girl's childhood.
=== Students of Isono Junior High School Students ===
* Mawari Zenigata (銭形 巡, Zenigata Mawari)
** Voiced by: Rika Morinaga (Japanese); Caitlin Glass (English)
** Mawari is the childhood friend of Nagasumi, whom she has a crush on, and is the daughter of the chief of police. She takes it upon herself to act as a moderator of social behavior, and often reprimands Nagasumi for his actions. Mawari's dream is to become a police chief like her father. Nagasumi says her personality is similar to Sun's which shocks Sun. Her name is related to Zenigata Heiji and "Omawari-san" (a gentle and polite way to say policeman in Japanese). One thing of interest is that whenever Mawari speaks or does something related to peacekeeping, a police whistle can be heard in the background. She is referred to as the queen of cards at Isumo elementary school due to her having won two championships at the Isumo elementary school first year student's card game tournament with Nagasumi as her partner. She is a member of the disciplinary committee and is the leader of the Public Morals Committee/Peacemakers which is a group formed by the girls of Isono Junior High School; the group is Isono Junior High's Police and is the biggest of the three groups, they can take on both Sun and Luna's group at the same time, they are at war with both Sun and Lunar's personal body guards. Due to Mawari's police background she is able to see through the lies that any of her school member make, she often gets close to finding out the fact that Sun is a mermaid but gets stopped by Nagasumi before she does. She also has a trade mark line, "Do you want Mawari to teach you the rules of society?" (巡が社会の教えてあげようか, Mawari ga Shakai no Rūru oshiteageyō ka) (English dub: "Maybe I should teach you something about the rules of this society!"); she says this when people break her rules.
* Hideyoshi Sarutobi (猿飛 秀吉, Sarutobi Hideyoshi)
** Voiced by: Masashi Yabe (Japanese); Anthony Bowling (English)
** Hideyoshi Sarutobi, often referred to as Saru (or Chimp in the English dub), is a friend of Nagasumi who is often portrayed as a perverted monkey (a pun on his name; "saru" meaning monkey). He later became Kai Mikawa's "servant" and always protects and helps him when he is in need. In the beginning, Saru's reasons for befriending Mikawa are because of his fortune; However, in episode 24 it is shown Saru genuinely cares for Mikawa. His name is related to Sarutobi Sasuke (a trait when he is Mikawa's servant of appearing out of nowhere is also related to Sarutobi Sasuke) and Toyotomi Hideyoshi (who himself was also often called "Saru/Monkey"). Saru occasionally appears dressed as a bearded old man in a robe, "ero-sennin" (English dub: the Pervy Hermit), who periodically appears to Nagasumi to offer insights of perverted sagacity. When in the old hermit form he calls himself "Saru Roshi" (English dub: Chimp Roshi) a parody of Master Roshi from Dragon Ball.
* Class Rep (委員長, Iinchō)
** Voiced by: Noriko Rikimaru (Japanese); Kate Bristol (English)
** She is a good friend of Mawari and a meganekko. Her true name is unknown as her classmates only refer her as the Class Rep. Despite the fact that she is the class rep, her presence is usually too passive to be noticeable. She later reveals that she has very strong feelings for Nagasumi. Later, she writes a love letter to Nagasumi, to confess her love, but accidentally confesses to Sun due to not looking at the person she was confessing to. This event leads to the sudden creation of an alternate persona, the "Last Amazoness", a girl-loving warrior who declares her intent to have Sun as her own. The Class Rep uses this persona when she's trying to get noticed or when she needs extra confidence. In recent volumes of the manga, the Last Amazoness takes an active role in fighting troublemakers after receiving a gender-reversing mermaid weapon, the magical bow that fires an arrow of light that never misses its target (though the projectile itself could be blocked by another organic being) called "Gender-X", from Saturn. The Class Rep also works with Maki on occasion, believing her to be a fairy, her desire is for people to find out her real name. The last page of the last volume of the manga reveals that her name is Iina Chiyo.
* Kai Mikawa (三河 海, Mikawa Kai)
** Voiced by: Daisuke Ono (Japanese); Eric Vale (English)
** Kai Mikawa is the fourteen-year-old son of the head of the multi-million dollar Mikawa Corporation. He rivals Nagasumi for Sun's hand in marriage, and tends to resort to measures that often put Nagasumi's well-being in question (i.e. in the anime, he skyrocketed an over-sized, rampaging Nagasumi, resulting in the latter's brief exile to the moon, from where Mikawa later ordered to be bombarded by missiles fired from his Corporation's private satellite). He is a killer whale from another mermaid group. Strangely while Sun and Lunar are shown in Mermaid form (torso of a human and tail of a fish) whenever they fail to maintain their human forms, Mikawa is shown as an entire killer whale when he succumbs to the effect of water. He also has agoraphobia, which is why he travels only in submarines and wears an astronaut's suit in open spaces; depriving him of either while out in the open is enough to put him into a state of panic that he's willing to bribe the first willing person to assist him in any way. While looking for a servant he befriends Saru. His name is related to Mikawa Bay and Neptune (海王星, kaiōsei). Mikawa, like most merfolk, has a fear of cats (ailurophobia). He is usually seen in a Japanese navy uniform, but wears his astronaut suit when he's out in the open, and carrying a katana. He is the leader of Sun's bodyguards. In a flashback, he used to hate the fact that people only sucked up to him because of his status and wealth when they were kids, but he now uses it to get people to do whatever he wants, such as earning the never-ending support of Saru (something that Sun does not like).
* Akeno Shiranui (不知火 明乃 明星, Shiranui Akeno Myōjō)
** Voiced by: Eri Kitamura (Japanese); Trina Nishimura (English)
** Akeno is not only a mermaid, but also a "mermaid examiner". She has the responsibility of deporting all the mer-people who fail to qualify as not only resembling humans but also not arousing any suspicion of their true identities; and unlike the other mermaids in the cast, Akeno is capable of suppressing her mermaid transformation, for brief moments, after coming into contact with water, having trained herself to do so. When first introduced she had a hostile attitude towards the other major protagonists. This later changes as she develops feelings of compassion towards them and also as she finds her "duty" as a knight-in-training as an excuse used by the final antagonist. It is also revealed that she is, in fact, Masa's younger sister, a fact which she is unaware of. Her name is related to Shiranui Sea and Venus (明けの明星, ake no myōjyō, Venus in the eastern morning sky). She is terrified of ghosts and is hinted that she has feelings for Nagasumi. Akeno discovered Masa is her brother when seeing his old appearance after he had gotten a perm, and she attacks him in rage until Nagasumi and Sun calm her down that Masa did not mean to abandon her and they make up.
=== Antagonists ===
* Danny "Slapass" Shapur (ダニー・"スラパス"・シャプール, Danī" surapasu" shapūru)
** Voiced by: Ryūsei Nakao (Japanese), David Wald (English)
** The Central Antagonist later on in the series, He is a Part Japanese, Part Iranian pop star and comedy musician who is from Hawaii that Nagasumi used to be a fan of as a kid. He was famous for many hilarious songs such as "Buttdragon slayer", "Rad City", "Manson Party" and many others (all of his songs are parodies of the songs by Alaskan band known as Ninja Sex Party). The song he made known as "I like to tickle a pickle and jam it up an ass" (which has the same tune as Twinkle Twinkle little star) resulted in him losing his career in Hawaii and he decided to go to his father's homeland of Japan and restart his career there. While there he met Nagasumi who was his biggest fan who was trying to get someone to take Lunar's place as a pop star in order to make it possible for her to do her studies at school, Lunar refused to be replaced by him because she did not to be replaced by someone else and she did not want the agency she worked for to get in trouble for having him as their main star due to the "Tickle Pickle Controversy". He then paid a Merman Noble to invite all of the Merpeople Yakuzas to a party and mingle with them in order to make Nagasumi forget about Sun and to help him rise to stardom in Japan. That failed when Nagasumi saved Sun which resulted in the two of them with the others teaming up against him. After that failure he then told all of his fans that Nagasumi has decided to not support him and this results in his fans going into a "I hate Nagasumi frenzy" which resulted in them establishing a citywide dictatorship that forces everyone to be fans of him. That failed when he was exposed for a lot of things in front of his fans. He then drank a mermaid drink which turned him into a giant monster and while transforming into a monster, he injected himself with Merperson blood and turned himself into a merman monster with dragon wings and destroyed the city. After being defeated, he was cursed to have a permanent mermaid tail and was never able to transform back into a human and he was deported to the realm of the merpeople afterwards. He is based off of Dan Avidan, the lead singer of Ninja Sex Party and his antagonist persona is based off of Syndrome from the Incredibles).

He is an Emo who tends to have severe anger issues to the point that he throws trash cans at houses and buildings and even people and he has the tendency and dress up as a ninja and beat up people. When his partner created a city-state dictatorship (that is a total parody of the Galactic Empire from Star Wars), he became the enforcer of the robot armies. One of his notable traits was saying "Maybe I should teach you something about the rules of this society!" in front of Sun who told him that was the same thing Mawari said. Nobu then realizes that his boss is a selfish jerk who only cares about being famous and making money which makes him join the protagonists in their fight against him to save the city. He is based on Ninja Brian from Ninja Sex Party, an evil version of Mawari, Darth Vader and O'Brien from 1984).
