Princess Jellyfish English Sub & Dub

About Princess Jellyfish

Princess Jellyfish (海月姫) blends comedy, romance and slice of life by Brain's Base and Sakura Create (2010). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: Plain, timid and obsessed with jellyfish, Tsukimi is a far cry from her idea of a princess. Her tepid life as a jobless illustrator comes complete with roommates who harbor diehard hobbies that solidify their status as hopeless social rejects.

Along the way, these wallflowers run a tight, nun-like ship, but their no-men-allowed-not-no-one-not-no-how bubble is unwittingly burst after Tsukimi brings home a rescued sea jelly and a beauty queen... who's actually a guy. When the threat of losing their cozy convent inspires this glamour boy to turn the neurotic entourage into a portrait of success, will Tsukimi take her chance to bloom, or will she end up a hot mess?

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Kana Hanazawa as Tsukimi Kurashita and Mamiko Noto as Jiji. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. With 11 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
