The series was first published in 2006 but the volumes we know now came much later. Volume 3 was published on 2014.
3 years later was Volume 4 (2017) and then Volume 5 (2018).
Assuming it's gonna take another 3 years, it's probably gonna be in 2021 or 2022 if there ever is gonna be a continuation.

So I'm assuming that the First Mermaid was able to move on into the after life, along with her friend.

Seems that way. From what I understand, the confrontation resulted to two things:
- Shouko has declared that no more girls would turn into mermaids, ending the curse.
- Shouko has reverted the hearts of those close to Shinobu.
I guess Shinobu reminded Shouko that she has the power to end the curse herself. But of course that doesn't bring back all the other poor girls. What I don't understand is what made Shouko change her mind about Shinobu. She could have waited for morning and eaten her right then and there.

Thanks! We hope we did it some amount of justice. And let's hope there's another sequel in the future!

"But of course that doesn't bring back all the other poor girls. What I don't understand is what made Shouko change her mind about Shinobu. She could have waited for morning and eaten her right then and there."
Imagine being an immortal mermaid living on the same unaging body, without any interactions with the human world, having to watch the curse you created yourself, involuntarily, mind you, turning more and more innocent girls into mindless monsters for dozens of years. She wanted to go back to being human to end it all and meet the one she loved, but there was another way of doing so, and that was accepting death. Nanae would have taken longer to die, sure, but without mermaid flesh, she would indeed die eventually, and they could meet in the afterlife just the same.
Instead of risking Shinobu running away, somehow, and losing her chance at ending everything before she turned into the R mermaid, it was easier to grasp what she could then and there.

That is a great take man, I wish it could be pinned on top of this thread.
I agree 100%. This story isn't over yet. As you said, Shouko created the curse involuntarily and it has something to do with her family's lineage coming from a mermaid. It's the Kuji family that is cursed, not just Shouko, so the legend could be restarted by any one in the family. That's why Shinobu's going to Shouko's hometown at the end.
