    Synopsis:

    Set against the backdrop of a new middle school year, this series follows the evolving relationship between Haruka Nanase and Makoto Tachibana as they navigate adolescence. While Makoto embraces the social changes and maintains his passion for swimming, Haruka grapples with past anxieties that hinder his integration into school life and participation in extracurricular activities. A shared, somewhat reluctant entry into the school's swimming club becomes a catalyst for growth. The narrative explores themes of self-discovery, teamwork, and the complexities of personal ambition. As the boys strive to improve their swimming and synchronize their approaches, they confront both external challenges and internal conflicts concerning their dedication to the sport and their burgeoning connection with one another. The series offers a grounded portrayal of youthful aspirations and finding one's place amidst shifting expectations.
