Grand Blue Dreaming #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe ninth volume of the comedic diving and college-life manga series, following Iori Kitahara and his friends as they continue their misadventures at the Grand Blue diving shop. This installment collects the ongoing story of their drunken antics, underwater escapades, and romantic entanglements, written and illustrated by Kenji Inoue and Kimitake Yoshioka.
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.
In "Coworkers," newly hired waiter Iori finds himself working alongside Sakurako at a local restaurant, only to discover her training him isn’t about mentorship—it’s about making his days as awkward and frustrating as possible. The story unfolds with sharp humor and quiet tension as their daily interactions turn into a battle of wits, all set against the backdrop of a shared workplace.
In "Otoya-kun Sees All," the Peek-a-Boo Diving Club heads underwater, but the real drama unfolds on the surface as insecurities bubble beneath the calm. Sakurako frets over Naomi’s attraction to Azusa and Nanaka’s buoyant figures, while Chisa and Kohei quietly speculate about Iori and Sakurako’s growing closeness—each moment rife with playful tension and unspoken glances.
In "Do You Like Him?", Naomi's casual confession about liking Iori sends ripples through the group, stirring unexpected emotions in Chisa—more than she expected. As misunderstandings spiral and everyone assumes Naomi has feelings for Chisa, Sakurako takes matters into her own hands, ordering Iori to break them up.
