Such a beautiful piece, along with the sad, enchanting story. One of my favorites from your gallery.

That sounds like the storry of the man who sold his watch to buy his lover a silver hair brush, but the lover sold her hair to buy the man a watchband. I am picky about th manga/anime drawings I like, but this one is phenomenal. I hope you draw more like this one. Maybe one of the man and mermaid together, holding onto each other, wishing that they could be with the other?
