The answer
Chapter 621 · updated
Otohime is not a human. She serves as queen of the Ryuguu Kingdom on Fish-Man Island and mingles daily with fish-man and merfolk subjects while distinguishing her people from humans. ch. 621, p. 7 Every day she descends to the island and addresses crowds about raising the kingdom above the waves so fish-men and merfolk can live under the sun with humans. ch. 621, p. 7 She states that humans have skin of a different colour and bodies that differ from ours, urging her people to understand them rather than wait. ch. 621, p. 7 Otohime gathers signatures for relocation and teaches children about the surface world while saving shipwreck survivors, actions framed entirely within fish-man society. ch. 624, p. 6 The sources describe her as an unusual queen beloved by fish-man children and citizens, with no reference to human origins. ch. 621, p. 6 "THEIR SKIN MAY BE OF A DIFFERENT COLOUR... THEIR BODIES MAY DIFFER FROM OURS..." ch. 621, p. 7 "WE MUST TAKE ACTION OURSELVES, AND STRIVE TO UNDERSTAND THEM!!!" ch. 621, p. 7 "WE MUST RAISE OUR RYUGUU KINGDOM ABOVE THE WAVES!!!" ch. 621, p. 7
