PLOT
The setting of Princess Jellyfish is Amamizukan, a Tokyo apartment complex where all of the residents are otaku women and where men are not permitted. The protagonist is Tsukimi Kurashita, albeit each character has a different obsession. Tsukimi's love of jellyfish is inspired by recollections of her late mother taking her to an aquarium and comparing the tendrils' lace-like appearance to princess garments. Tsukimi is a shy girl who wants to be an illustrator but is scared of formal labor, attractive people, and social interaction. The other Amamizukan tenets are the same; they are NEETs who identify as the "Sisterhood" (nuns). Kuranosuke Koibuchi, a fashionable politician's illegitimate son who cross-dresses to escape the responsibilities of politics and feel more connected to his mother, is introduced to Tsukimi. Even though Tsukimi occasionally feels uncomfortable with the intimacy of having a man in her room, she protects the secret of his masculinity from her man-hating housemates.
