YES!!! Awesome!!!

I love this manga. From the author of Aria it has that relaxing charm along with those hints of yuri. And because its all about skuba diving there's plenty of opportunity for 'tasteful' fanservice Smile


Can't go wrong with tasteful swimsuit fanservice! Cool

Though the hints of yuri...spoiler[.they're not going to throw in some background "fiance" out of the blue] like what happened in Aria, right?

I wish that i could share the enthusiasm as i liked the first few volumes and you can read my MU review below why i left the manga behind last year. I would be able to recommend a 13 ep. anime run (or even better a prolonged OVA with a proper art budget) but not a 26+ one as with the genuinely good Aria. Why is that one comming back btw? (Neither of his 2 manga have any actual shoujo-ai elements btw...)

Sadly no Aria (6/10)
I read Amanchu! for 6 Volumes and had fun at first but the midnight oil finally ran out and the series is now on Vol.10 in Japan. The 2 leads have character but none else do and that is an undeniable problem while a point or purpose is now impossible to be seen too. A random Peter Pan chapter and then another about how Hikari forgot to put on her bikini top and then had to hide her breasts for one chapter back to back made me realize that i was only enjoying the well done art and nothing else as the interesting diving elements mostly went. I further have a feeling that the author lost the plot because the new chapters were not lining up with what came before.
I thus dropped the manga as i don´t read moeblob appreciation. Go for her main work instead or Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou / Yotsubato! (a 8,5/10 for both) which all kept the Mono no Aware magic going all the way. All in all not a bad manga but now sadly a boring and pointless one. Let´s see how Kozue´s next work will be as she is talented.
Edit: And Kozue is a woman. Hups.

Kozue Amano is a woman, just FYI.
