What is Goodbye, Lara About?
The official website describes Goodbye, Lara as follows:
Once upon a time, there was a mermaid princess named Lara. She grew up surrounded by the love of her father, the King of the Sea, and her sisters. One day, Lala falls in love with a human prince who lives on land, a forbidden love that is not permitted in the world of mermaids. Nevertheless, Lara sets off to the surface, drinking the potion given to her by the witch Grace and transforming into a human.
However, it was a forbidden drug that would disappear like bubbles if he did not find “true love.” Although she was a mermaid princess, Lala longed for love with a human. However, her wish was not granted, and she turned into foam and disappeared into the sea. 200 years later, the mermaid princess Lara is reborn in Lake Biwa, this time to find true love.
