Grand Blue Dreaming #9

In "Coworkers," the Peek-a-Boo Diving Club takes a trip that’s as much about underwater currents as it is about the quiet tensions between colleagues. Sakurako watches nervously as Naomi interacts with Azusa and Nanaka, while Chisa and Kohei quietly wonder if Iori and Sakurako are more than just coworkers. Written by Kenji Inoue and Adam Hirsch, with art and inks by Kimitake Yoshioka and lettering by Jan Lan Ivan Concepcion, this issue captures the delicate balance of friendship and unspoken feelings. The cover, also by Yoshioka, mirrors the story’s mix of intimacy and distance.
