Princess Jellyfish English Sub & Dub

About Princess Jellyfish

Princess Jellyfish (Kuragehime) blends comedy, slice of life and josei by Brain's Base (2010). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: Ever since her late mother took her to an aquarium when she was young, Tsukimi Kurashita has been obsessed with jellyfish, comparing their flowing tentacles to a princess's white dress. Now living with five other unemployed otaku women, 19-year-old Tsukimi spends her days as a social outcast dreaming of becoming an illustrator.

Next up: However, her life changes forever when one day, a beautiful woman unexpectedly helps her save a jellyfish in a local pet store. From then on, the stranger—confident, fashionable, and the complete opposite of Tsukimi and her roommates—kicks off to regularly visit the girls' building. This trendy hipster, though appearing shallow at first, harbors some secrets of her own, starting with the fact that "she" isn't really a girl at all, but a wealthy male college student named Kuranosuke Koibuchi!

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
