Grand Blue Dreaming

Iori Kitahara heads to the seaside town of Izu to start his freshman year at university, moving into the room above Grand Blue—his uncle’s scuba diving shop. He arrives imagining the perfect campus life, only to step into a very different welcome: the shop is a regular hangout for the local Diving Club, whose laid-back members seem far more devoted to drinking than diving. Pulled along by upperclassmen Shinji Tokita and Ryuujirou Kotobuki, Iori ends up swept into their rowdy routines despite his reluctance.

When his cousin Chisa Kotegawa catches him at his lowest point, her opinion of him drops instantly, setting the tone for a chaotic start. Adapted from the comedy manga by Kenji Inoue and Kimitake Yoshioka, Grand Blue Dreaming follows Iori’s noisy, awkward college days as he tries to chase his ideal student life—while gradually getting acquainted with scuba diving.
