Ryuichi Oura

“I want to swim faster!” That’s the only thought in the minds of these high school jocks.

Shuhei, Daiki and Reo are obsessed with only one thing--swimming.
They pour their heart and soul into passing the entrance exam for Ryuho High School, a private academy renowned for its top-notch swim team. In the process, they end up hurting each other's feelings. One guy gets into Ryuho, but the other two wind up at Higashigaoka High School, where the swim team is on the brink of shutting down.

Just when it seemed like the three guys would never hang out again, Kawasaki, a swimmer they all admire, becomes the coach of the Higashigaoka High School swim team. Things are just about to get interesting...

The Higashigaoka High School swim team shrank drastically after several seniors graduated. Juniors Shuhei, the captain who looks after his teammates like an older brother, Daiki, a pure and innocent guy who doesn't say much, and Haruyoshi Koganei, who is macho in the inside but actually quite girly, need to find five new swimmers to prevent being kicked out of the team. Frantic, they go on a recruiting frenzy.

Meanwhile, the team at Ryuho, a regular fixture at the national high school championships, is being led by the hardworking Homare Nishina. Teammates Ichitora Jingu, a genius in the water, an equally-talented Reo Fujikawa, and the friendly-yet-speedy Mitsuki Taira, all join him as they train tirelessly day and night to become the national champions.

Things were looking better at Higashigaoka as only two new guys were needed to save the team. Yuta Taki is a bluntly honest experienced swimmer and Daniel Harada is a handsome princely guy (when he keeps his mouth shut) who can't swim at all! What's more, Ryoya Kawasaki, a former national champion, signs up to coach the team. Just what will happen when you assign an iconic coach to watch over a bunch of guys with colorful characters?!

Look no further for a comical high school story that is sure to ignite the fire in your heart!
