In the manga and anime series Princess Jellyfish (Kuragehime), the central romance revolves around Tsukimi Kurashita, a jellyfish-obsessed young woman living in a shared apartment complex called Amamizukan. The question of her romantic destiny drives a significant portion of the narrative, involving a cross-dressing fashion designer named Kuranosuke Koibuchi and a kind, if somewhat oblivious, government official named Shu Koibuchi.
Tsukimi’s eventual romantic pairing is a key element of the story’s resolution, representing her personal growth, the overcoming of her social anxieties, and the broader themes of self-acceptance and finding one’s place in the world. The narrative explores various relationship dynamics and challenges societal expectations regarding femininity and romance. The chosen outcome significantly impacts the overall message of the series and offers a commentary on unconventional relationships.
