Hi guys
Here in my country, Spain, back in 90's, there was released a manga about mermaids:
Yukemuri Ningyo Hime (湯けむり人形姫 ) by konami chiba, it was very funny and good.

It seems like it hasnt been released in any other country before, only Japan and Spain, but I cant believe it!

Here you've got pics and info about it:

The complete series is only 3 tankobon, but in spain there was published only the first one using the american comic book format, then it was cancelled.

I would like to know if there was released on others countries. Does anyone knows anything about it?

It appears you write it in japanese like this 湯けむり人魚姫 rather than 湯けむり人形姫 . Looks kind of interesting, but I can't even find RAWs for it, much less translation (official or not).

Every site where it comes up in google just list a Japanese and Spanish version so I think it's quite unlikely that there is another one. So I'd say no. The fact that I'm Italian and I know it hasn't been published in Italy despite the Spanish version being published by Planeta De Agostini, which is a joint-venture Spanish-Italian publisher, further increase my suspicions.

Btw you say it was cancelled in Spain after one volume but here and here and here there are volumes 2, 3 and 5 (it appears they're 5 volumes), are you sure?

Hi
First of all, thanks for you answers smile

Well reid1, those volumes of the link from your post are 42 page "american comic books", from the spanish edition, so they are not tankobons. Here in spain, 5 comic books of that serie were 1 tankobon, the first one.
I'm gonna scan the comic books I've got, and I'm gonna try get the japanesse tankobons. I want that series back. It was very funny smile
