Synopsis: Iori Kitahara moves to the coastal city of Izu to his first year at his university, occupying the residence above Grand Blue, his uncle's diving store.

Persuated by the men of the upper Shinji Tokita and Ryuujirou Kotobuki, Iori joins his bizarre party. His cousin, Chisa Kotegawa, later enters and catches him in the act, winning Iori his total disdain.

Based on Kenji Inoue and Kimitake Yoshioka's comedy manga, Grand Blue follows Iori's misadventures with his new eccentric friends as he strives to fulfill his ideal college dream and learn to dive.
