What is Grand Blue?
For those unfamiliar, Grand Blue is a coming-of-age comedy centered around Iori Kitahara, a college student whose dreams of meeting beautiful girls and having a glamorous university life are hilariously derailed by his wild, booze-filled dive club adventures.
Kodansha USA describes the story:
“After graduating from an all-boys’ high school, Iori Kitahara moves away from home to attend college in a seaside town. But his hopes of starting fresh get upended when he joins his uncle’s dive shop, quickly realizing that his new friends are more interested in heavy drinking than diving.”
This wild and hilarious manga has been serialized in Kodansha’s Good! Afternoon, with an English version available through Kodansha Comics under the title Grand Blue Dreaming.
