Cute.

I quite like this manga it wasn't particularly good but sweet and I quite like the ending. It's a nice quick read and it's easy too. The girl did get annoying sometimes and it wasn't believeable but still. But onlt really read it if you've got time to spare.

what is this I don't even.

lololololol what.

that was my reaction to this entire manga. First, as has been pointed out by everyone and their cousin- she can't swim. What is this I don't even. I understand she's a GOGETTEROMGLOL, but that's just stupid. She took a challenge when she couldn't swim. At all. She couldn't even float. That's not bravery, that's being an idiot.

And that's basically what this was filled with- idiocy.

She follows the stereotypical rout of falling MADLY IN LOVE WITH THE APATHETIC MODEL instead of liking the guy who has actually helped her so far (abusive as he may be; what was with that slap).

And then when decides to leave, OH WAIT, NO, I LIED, I LIKE YOU. Comebackplz. It doesn't work that way hon.

But the idiot apparently dogged a bullet, because he basically threw her away in a jealous hissy fit to go train with her bitch of a mother.

Also, her mother is terrible. A smile at the end does not make 16 years of absence and a terrible attitude okay.

So basically, there was no consistency with her feelings. She must have a thing for dudes that don't give a shit about her, because as soon as one starts to like her, she's like, NOWAITIWANTTHEOTHERONE. Wat.
Seriously. Unattainable model that hates you? HOT. Friend that seems to care for you? NAH.
But then he decides she's not worth it (I won't blame him there though, she's not.) and ditches her for his career (I decided he did all the bullet dodging, I wouldn't want to be involved with this idiotic girl either.)
And then Yoji started to care for her, stayed with her the year that Aoi abandoned her, and yet she's still stuck on Aoi WHO SHE DIDN'T EVEN LIKE UNTIL HE DECIDED TO LEAVE.

The art was really pretty, though. I'll give it that.
Like, seriously. The most enjoyable parts where where I became distracted from the horrible plot and shallow characters, because I saw Aoi with his shirt off or something. Pretty, but vapid.

So basically. If you want something pretty that doesn't totally suck from this author, go read Biyaku Cafe. (though I warn you, totally irrational insta!sex occurs, the rest is good.)

I'm Confused

The manga stated good and ended terribly. It feels like the mangaka or author was too lazy to think of better plot and ending. Reading this manga left me with sense of confusion, I can't tell whether I liked or not.

It's Not Bad as Everyone Says

Well, In my personal opinion, it's not as bad as it seems...The transition of the story to another is just too fast..the plot is not that bad too...i guess, for me it's cute...Nagi's dumbness is what making it cute, and Aoi's not such a bad character either...he's carefree like Nagi's dad..and I admire his love for shoujo mangas..only here in this manga that I've encountered a guy reading a shoujo manga.
hehe..

I really like the art in this manga, the human figure (either of boys or of girls) drawn in a swimming suit is really nice and here it's is very nicely drawn. The story is not really believable, I mean... there are actually people who, even when grown up, want to start something new, and it's great that you want to start swimming no matter your age (it's something everyone should know how to do) but it's a completely different thing if you want to not just learn how to do it but become a gold medalist doing it when you're about 15 and you have never done it in your life.

I really disliked the personalities of the characters, being so mean with each other all the time, like noone could be open about their feelings or noone could be happy about things that surrounded them.

I would recommend this... if you wanted something really light to read, with a plot based on something quite silly. The art is lovely. XD

What the...?

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

This series was really bad. There was no point to it. The plot (if you could even call it that) wasn't anything. The art was beautiful and that was about the only thing going for it. I was so disappointed since I had read this work because Ukyou Ayane was the mangaka and I enjoyed reading her previous work Desire Climax.The main girl was weak. WEAK!

She can't even swim. And it is like she doesn't even try to learn. And the way she switches the person she likes is just ridiculous. Her mother who is not in her life for sixteen years and finds her useless to her, smiles at the end like "Heh. I knew she could do it." Just what the heck is that? The ending was completely... >.> Read Galacticon's review for futher details. Do not read it unless you have time to waste.

Oh my god...

I was laughing so hard at how bad this series was.

As a swimmer in a swim team for many, many years, I can safely say that it's insanely hard to actually drown in a swimming pool. Believe me, it's not easy. I found it absolutely hilarious the way Nagi started drowning dramatically, and required the cliche rescue of a handsome man. Seriously, even when people have leg cramps, there are LANE LINES EVERYWHERE. It's insanely easy to just grip one of them and stay afloat. Not to mention, if you were to just RELAX YOUR BODY, you would naturally float up (as long as you weren't wearing heavy armor or something). Or, you know, she probably could've just stood up, seeing how normally, even in the deeper parts of pools, they tend not to be THAT deep. What was she doing?! Purposefully forcing herself to stay underwater so she can suffocate?!

Bathing suit!

What most annoys me in this manga is that the protagonist is always wearing her bathing suit no mater what she's doing or where she is! Anyways, it's not a horrible manga but not good either...

Okay for all of you giving this series a 10 should be ashamed of yourselves. Yes the artwork is nice but the story is subpar at best. Beyond the fact that you have yet another weak female protoganist. You'll have to completely suspend your belief that she doesn't know how to swim despite the fact that her mother is an accomplished medal winner...the same mother who abandoned her while young but at some point taught other young ppl how to swim. (yawn)

But the most egregious action in the first volume is when one of the male leads shoving and later slapping the female lead. BTW, the girl apologizes for bringing the male to said action.

I'm just overly disgusted & continue to be horrified by how irresponsible these mostly female shoujo writers add violence against girls/women as a throw away line. Yet b/c the male is "hot" & "justifiably outraged" we are supposed to believe her action was so heinous she deserved to be slapped. BTW, the other boys on the swim team viewed what happened as well, and they're drawn as showing only surprise but no indignation or protest against her getting hit. (ugggh)

What could have been a promising story just turned my stomach over...enough to write this comment. Just think these continuing storylines are utterly inexusable esp in light of the majority of these comics being young women. The message their sending here to teach em to be submissive, turn the other cheek & have sympathy for some overgrown misunderstood bully.

This is the Suck

If you want a nonsensical moronic story, look no further. This is the story for you. Read Galacticon's review further down if you want details. Suffice it to say, she was much more generous with this idiocy then I can be. This deserves and receives a 1. If I could rank it lower, for polluting my mind with its stupidity, I would. Don't even bother with this one unless you are completely and totally desperate.
