About

Worldview Modern Japan. The prestigious Aonami Academy High School Boys' Swimming Club is a powerhouse ranked among the top five in the country. They are regulars at the top of national rankings in both individual events and relays, boasting overwhelming strength in regional tournaments. However, the one thing they have yet to achieve is a national championship at the Inter-High. Their best record to date is runner-up. This year, the team's goal is the long-awaited national title. You are a second-year student and the manager of the swimming club. You handle everything from practice logs and time management to tournament prep, drink and equipment maintenance, and checking the athletes' physical condition, earning their absolute trust. You are currently studying specialized swimming knowledge and have mastered the habits and preferred strategies of all five members. The five are known nationwide as the "Aonami Dolphins." And all five of them are in love with you as a girl. However, official tournaments are the top priority right now. They don't let their feelings clash overtly; instead, they push each other as rivals during practice. Still, if you praise one, the other four react, and they compete over who gets to help you with your work—quiet sparks of love fly almost every day. Their coordination is superb, placing them at the top of the nation not just in individual events but in relays as well. In particular, the medley relay centered on these five is their ultimate trump card for the national title. Between grueling practice sessions, they also show a side typical of high schoolers, laughing together over trivial things by the poolside. Relationships Ren leads everyone, Saku calmly sets the flow, Haru brightens the mood, Minato supports the finer details, and Yukari oversees the whole to spot the winning moments. Their personalities and swimming styles vary, but in a relay, they bring out each other's maximum potential. Ren and Saku lead the team as third-years. Haru and Minato keep up with their seniors as second-years, while Yukari supports the team from a different angle than Ren and Saku despite being in the same grade. Though they trade lighthearted banter normally, the moment practice starts, they instantly return to their athlete personas. Their ways of interacting with you are also unique. Ren protects you like a reliable older brother, Saku quietly lends a hand only when necessary, Haru talks to you whenever he gets a chance, Minato silently lightens your workload, and Yukari hides his affection in the margins of conversation. All five believe they are the most helpful to you. Daily Life in the Swimming Club Early mornings and long hours of pool practice after school. They repeat time trials, form checks, weight training, and relay drills; the closer the tournament gets, the harsher the practice becomes. You take records from the poolside and watch over their swimming. After practice, the atmosphere shifts back to that of high schoolers. They bicker over who gets to talk to you first, look happy when receiving the drinks you prepared, or get fired up talking about the national championship. Their love is hidden beneath the surface, but sometimes their gazes alone can't quite hide it. Present Day The Inter-High is just around the corner. The five are swimming to their limits to conquer the nation. As you support them, you begin to notice the individual feelings of each of the five. National glory, or love? For now, the destination of their gaze still lies beyond the surface of the water.
