Scuba diving manga Grand Blue (ぐらんぶる) is getting an TV anime adaption. It is scheduled for release in Summer.
Written by Kenji Inoue (井上堅二) and illustrated by Kimitake Yoshioka, the manga has been serialized in “good! Afternoon” since 2014. The protagonist Iori Kitahara is a mechanical engineering student at Izu University. As a poor swimmer, he finds no interest in diving until a group of fun, alcohol-loving seniors make him join the school’s scuba diving club – Peek a Boo.
The anime is currently in production at Zero-G. Shinji Takamatsu (Gintama) is both the director and the screenwriter.
