''Princess Jellyfish'' (''Kuragehime'') is an award-winning {{josei}} {{manga}} by Akiko Higashimura, which was serialized in ''Kiss'' from 2008 to 2017. The manga was adapted to {{anime}} by Creator/BrainsBase as part of the Creator/{{noitaminA}} block, where it aired from October 15 to December 31, 2010. Creator/FUNimation simulcasted the series [[http://www.funimation.com/princess-jellyfish/episodes on their video portal]] and later released it as a box set.

Tsukimi, an extremely shy and self-deprecating 18-year-old illustrator, has been fascinated by jellyfish ever since her now-deceased mother took her to an aquarium when she was young. To her, they're everything she isn't- beautiful and graceful. While jellyfish-watching at a pet shop, she sees a spotted jellyfish in the same tank as a moon jellyfish, a death sentence for the former. Overcoming her fear of stylish people (and men), she tries to talk the clerk into moving the spotted jellyfish to another tank. Apathetic to the plight of this nerdy girl, the clerk just ignores her and Tsukimi [[SeriousBusiness gets into a fight with him over it]]. Things are looking bleak for Clara (the spotted jellyfish) when a fashionable girl intervenes and talks the clerk into giving them the jellyfish.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: While the author clearly knows quite a bit about jellyfish, in real life they need to be kept in special, typically round or cylindrical aquariums with a current to keep them drifting around and not stuck on the bottom or in a corner, and even a small desktop jelly tank would usually cost more than the $200 Tsukimi invested.
