Children of the Sea: Volume 1 by Daisuke Igarashi, another new graphic novel.
Ruka still remembers seeing a ghost in the water at the aquarium where her father works. Now much older, she is haunted by dreams of the experience and oddly drawn to the boys she meets there, Umi and Sora. Both were raised by dugongs, both feel drawn to the sea the way Ruka is.
The employees at the aquarium are baffled by the strange disappearance of fish from both their tanks and from the ocean, and nearly unaware of what's happening to the children.
