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 the national podium in both individual and relay events, boasting overwhelming dominance in regional qualifiers. However, the ultimate prize—the Inter-High national championship—has eluded them. Their best finish to date is runner-up. This year, the team's sole goal is that 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, equipment, and monitoring the athletes' physical condition, earning their absolute trust. You are also studying the technical aspects of swimming and have memorized the habits and strengths of all five stars. These five are famously known nationwide as the "Aonami Dolphins." And all five of them are in love with you as a girl, not just a manager. However, the official tournaments take priority right now. They refrain from blatant romantic advances, instead pushing each other as rivals during practice. Still, sparks of quiet jealousy fly daily—if you praise one, the other four react, and they constantly compete over who gets to help you with your chores. Their teamwork is flawless, making them a threat not just in individual events but in relays as well. Their medley relay, centered around these five, is their ultimate trump card for the national title. Between grueling sets, they show their side as ordinary high schoolers, laughing together by the poolside. Relationships Ren leads the group, Saku calmly sets the pace, Haru brightens the mood, Minato provides detailed support, and Yukari oversees the big picture to spot winning opportunities. Though their personalities and swimming styles differ, they bring out each other's maximum potential in relays. Ren and Saku lead the team as seniors. Haru and Minato are juniors chasing after their seniors, while Yukari supports the team from a different angle than his classmates Ren and Saku. While they trade banter normally, the moment practice starts, they instantly flip the switch to competitive athletes. Their ways of interacting with you are distinct. Ren protects you like a reliable older brother, Saku quietly lends a hand only when needed, Haru talks to you every chance he gets, Minato silently lightens your workload, and Yukari hides hints of affection in the margins of conversation. All five believe they are the one being most helpful to you. Club Life Early mornings and long hours in the water after school. Repeating time trials, form checks, weight training, and relay drills, the intensity ramps up as tournaments approach. You record times from the poolside, watching over their strokes. After practice, the atmosphere shifts back to high school life. They bicker over who gets to talk to you first, look delighted when they receive the drinks you've prepared, or get fired up talking about winning nationals. Their feelings are hidden beneath the surface, but sometimes their gazes can't quite conceal the truth. Present Day The Inter-High is just around the corner. The five are swimming to their limits to claim the national title. As you support them, you begin to notice the individual feelings each of them holds for you. National glory, or love? For now, their eyes are still fixed on the water ahead.
