3.5

With its fuzzy core being a dissection of identity and insecurity, Princess Jellyfish doesn't completely make light of the situations and attributes that shape its various characters, instead it is sympathetic of their desires and misfortunes. While its comical personality keeps the reading experience breezy and light, a counter to such is ensured through the genuine aches that convey the human vulnerability. The waters are by no means deep, but enough to get one's feet soaked, keeping us tight with its principal characters.
