What is Grand Blue Dreaming about?
The anime is based on the popular manga written by Kenji Inoue and illustrated by Kimitake Yoshioka. It began serialising in Kodansha’s Good! Afternoon magazine in 2014. The first season of the Grand Blue Dreaming anime premiered in 2018. After seven years of waiting, the series came back with its second season in 2025. Kodansha publishes the series in English and describes the story as:
After graduating from an all-boys’ high school, Iori Kitahara moves away from home to go to college in a seaside town. He’s eager to start a new chapter in his life–one filled with dreams of reinventing himself, meeting beautiful girls, and reveling in his youth. But when his new abode is his uncle’s dive shop, Iori’s college debut doesn’t turn out as glamorously as he planned! Can Iori keep himself afloat, or will the booze-fueled antics of his university’s diving club wash him away?!
A coming-of-age tale with beer, bums, and the Grand Blue!
