A New Romantic Fantasy Adventure Begins in Shonen Jump

Fans Will Never See Sirens in the Same Way

Sirens Won’t Sing For You is a new series written and illustrated by Reiji Agasa, known for his previous work At God’s Mercy, published on Shueisha’s Manga Plus site. The series follows a high school student named Kanoha Takanashi, who, despite her sweet appearance, is a modern-day siren. According to the series, these legendary creatures have evolved to stop eating humans, unlike in ancient myths. They have also lost most of their bird-like features, with the only supernatural aspects of the protagonist being her ability to use sound as a weapon and a pair of wings.

Even though Kanoha is by no means a regular siren, she is still dangerous to one person in particular; her crush and classmate, Kei Shibuya. When she was young, the main character was warned by her mother to never fall in love, as sirens only feel the need to eat the love of their lives. Nonetheless, Kanoha attempts to confess to Kei, only to get rejected immediately. This heartbreaking event leads the siren to learn a shocking truth about her crush, one that will change both their lives forever.

The Series Will Combine Humor, Action, and Romance

Kanoha’s Journey Will Be Truly Unique

Chapter #1 of Sirens Won’t Sing For You gave fans a taste of what they can expect in future entries. Although brief, this first adventure perfectly sets the tone that the author wants for the story. The world of the series is one where fantastical creatures coexist with humans, albeit secretly. While romance will undoubtedly be the focus of the story, this small change makes it different from most other manga of this genre. Agasa’s work has also included many traits from shonen, by having the main characters fight against mythical criminals.

It is not often that action, comedy, and romance are all mixed to tell a story, but Sirens Won’t Sing For You seems to have figured out the strategy to do so successfully. The story and characters could be compared to Rumiko Takahashi’s Ranma 1/2, a series that managed to change the lives of millions of fans with its revolutionary approach to shojo. The protagonist is kind and cheerful, yet powerful enough to protect her beloved. Kei himself is a masterful fighter whose personality and motivations will keep the series interesting.

Sirens Won’t Sing For You has just begun its publication, meaning that it is the perfect time for fans to start reading it. Although it is still too early to know for sure, Agasa’s manga does seem to have everything it needs to earn a spot as one of the most interesting new manga.
