This book is a 100% color picture collection of Inoue Kikuko (井上喜久子). There is a lot of French used in this book for the "section" titles, and descriptions of Kikuko's feelings.

The cover has Kikuko as a mermaid. She is wearing a tight white outfit and is placed in a CG (computer graphics) background to make her look like a mermaid.
