Here we go again. Back at it with the free swimming club. I can see the shipping pairs already.

Hrmm, live adaptation of a swimming manga. I'm happy it's more for us being the opposite of the heterosexual male anime audience. However I'm not so sure we'll get to see some actual "live action" that meets the criteria of "handsome" and "great body" without the cast inevitably being actors who are skinny bishounen. For once I'd like to see a live adaptation of a manga bring the definition of "great body," in this context, without being ab-less at the very least. I know Japan's straight female audience had certain tastes but that is clearly leaning more towards the same taste in men and muscle overseas than it was in the past with skinny bishounen, thankfully.
