Haruka Nanase starts middle school with a problem that has nothing to do with homework. Everyone around him picks a club, makes friends, settles in. Makoto blends right into the class and still talks about swimming like it's the best part of his day. Haruka? He drifts. He avoids the pool, avoids the swim club, avoids the kids who keep asking him to join anything at all. Something about the water has gotten complicated, and he can't explain it, not even to himself. Then a stupid argument changes everything. One minute they're yelling, the next they're signed up for the swim team anyway. Now Haruka has to share a lane with guys he barely knows, match his stroke to theirs, and figure out why he ever loved this sport in the first place. Makoto is right there beside him, steady as always, but even he can't fix the tension building between teammates who all want the same thing for different reasons. Talent is not the issue. These boys can swim. What they can't do yet is trust each other, or admit what they actually want from the water. So what happens when four kids with clashing styles and bruised feelings have to move as one?
