Synopsis

Due to attending a university, Iori Kitahara (Ryo Ryusei) moves and begins to live at his uncle’s diving shop Grand Blue in a beach town. Iori Kitahara expects to have pleasant university life, like hanging around with female students. But, Iori Kitahara ends up part of a scuba diving club with mostly male students.

Due to Iori Kitahara, fellow university freshman Kohei Imamura (Atsuhiro Inukai) joins the scuba diving club. Meanwhile, Chisa Kotegawa (Yuki Yoda) is Iori Kitahara’s cousin, but not blood-related. She likes scuba diving. She is also a freshman at the same university and a member of the school’s scuba diving club.
