While there is nothing problematic in the layout, the story is still hard to follow because the things that are happening aren't clearly illustrated. Lucia drops her pendant at one point, and Kaito has it in his pocket a few pages later. A few pages after that, Lucia arrives where Kaito was standing, and the pendant is on the ground. It makes you think you've skipped pages, and you start going back to look for things missed that were never actually shown.

Pichi Pichi Pitch: Mermaid Melody would probably appear to younger girls, ala Tokyo Mew Mew, but the nature of the romantic interactions between the characters is, while not graphically, conceptually above the heads of younger readers. Parents might object to images of a girl, drunk on soda pop, kissing a half-undressed boy in his bed, to be sure, but there is a lot of sexual teasing as well that little girls just wouldn't get, or that is simply too mature for them. For the older readers, the gaps in the story are too confusing, and there are too many problems with the presentation of the mermaid world and conflict for it to be believable for anyone over the age of 10.
