box1) Its been 2 months since my high school life started. // And I, the man with no athletic ability and is lead in the water, have joined the swim team.

b1) Kawazu-kun!!
b2) Hurry!! // Practice is starting.
box3) Anyway...
box4) Today starts my club activities // with the swim team.
b3) Y-yeah...

title) On the swim team now.
panel) If I'm with you, I feel like I'll be able to do it.

page 4

b1) fuhaaa
b2) The water feels great.
b3) I wish // I could swim like Haruka-chan.

page 5

b1) Here you go Michiru.
b2) What is this?
b3) Do you need to ask? Its a boogie board.

page 6

b1) This is used for people who can't swim to keep them afloat right?
panel) Well, its not like I can swim.
b2) Will this help me get better?
b3) fufu, who knows.
b4) Try doing what I say.
b5) First try swimming the length of the pool using only your legs.

page 7

b1) Show me exactly how strong your legs are.
b2) Haruka will be swimming next you while checking your form.
b3) Okay.
b4) Ready!!
b5) fufufu

page 8

b1) Muohhhhhhh!!
b2) oh?
b3) Look at Haruka-chan, she's doing it with ease.
b4) What's wrong Michiru? Keep at it!!
b5) Huh? Don't tell me...
b6) I really haven't gotten anywhere!?

page 9

box) 5 minutes later.
b1,2) haa
b3) Is using your legs alone supposed to be this painful?
b4) J-just a little farther.
b5) Haruka-chan is amazing, in the entire time its taken me to get herer,
b6) she's made a few trips back and forth the entire length of the pool.

page 10

b1) Also...
b2) She doesn't look tired at all!
b3,4) haa

page 11

b1) You did full 25 meters of the pool!!
b2) Y-yeah... But no matter how much I kicked, I couldn't mover forward too much.
b3) I knew I was suited for swimming.
b4) Wha?
b5) puha
b6) wah

page 12

b1) Look at how I do it, then try again.
b2) okay.
b3) And up.
b4) What's important is how you use your legs.

page 13

b1) Kick the water using your entire leg.
b2) Try to relax, and try not to bend your knees.
b3) O-okay.
b4) See? // Pretty easy right?

page 14

b1) Thanks, I'll try it.
b2) Do your best.
b3) Michiru-kun,
b4) What do you think of our Haruka-chan?
b5) Coach Aoki.

page 15

b1) Its like night and day between us.
b2) Its not just that she's good at swimming.
b3) What's the best way to put it...
b4) She's having a lot of fun.
b5) Well done. // I'm surprised you noticed, and if you did then my work for today is done.
b6) I also get a little jealous every now and then.

page 16

b1) She likes it so much that she can't get enough of it.
b2) And that's her strongest point.
b3) Is that so...

page 17

b1) By the way coach,
b2) What subject do you teach?
b3) Teach?
b4) Because I haven't seen you anywhere else besides here at the pool.
b5) Hm? // Ah well,
b6) that's because I'm not a teacher.
b7) I'm here because I want to coach Haruka's swimming.
b8) huh?

page 18

b1) I came and applied for it in person,
b2) so they let me be the swimming coach.
b3) So you're not a teacher at all.
b4) That's right.
b5) So in this case, flattery wont get you anywhere.
b6) Until I met her, I was seriously depressed.
b7) For the hell of it, I went to a middle school swim meet, and that's where I saw Haruka.

page 19

b1) Although there were a lot of swimmers there, I could tell from just one look at her. She loves swimming more than anyone here.
b2) To tell you the truth, her records were quite average.

page 20

b1) But after seeing her in action, I got goosebumps.
b2) Is Haruka-chan that good?
b3) I'll promise you one thing Michiru.

page 21

b1) As long as I'm coaching the swim team, you will NOT regret being here.
b2) Right...
b3) Don't look at me like that.
b4) I'm really good at teaching.
b5) You'll be able to swim in no time.
b6) Right...
b7) Is 'right...' the only thing you can say?

page 22

panel sfx.) ding, dong, dang, dong
b1) Okay you two, we're done.
b2) My body feels so heavy after getting out of the water...
panel) hmm, is that so?
b3) I couldn't even do that kick excersice properly.
b4) Wait a sec,
b5) You can't come in here Michiru.
b6) huh?

page 23

b1) This is yours.
b2) Michiru-sama's personal shower!
b3) Isn't this the water heater?
panel) Its all beat up...
b4) We can't use the boy's shower room just yet.
b5) So put up with this for a while.
b6) I really dont mind.
b7) Give me your honest opinion on the new member.

page 24

b1) I haven't seen enough to say anything specific, but
b2) he doesn't look like he's having any fun.
b3) And it really is a whole lot of fun too...
b4) That's true.
b5) I just thought of something,
b6) how about we have everyone swim naked tomorrow? What do think, that'd be fun right?
b7) There, // there's no way I'd say yes!!
b8) Hahaha, I was only joking.

page 25

b1) Well, I'm sure he'll change when he learns how to swim.
b2) Its just,
b3) I wish he were a little more confident.
b4) Well, // it's not something you need to worry about.

page 26

b1) Will I
b2) really learn how to swim?
panel) pfft, what is that supposed to be?
b3) Not good, I need to think positively.
b4) Ah.

page 27

b1) What's wrong? Are you waiting for the coach?
b2) No,
b3) I was thinking of going home with you.
b4) HUH!?
b5) With me!?
b6) Was there something you needed to do?
b7) N-no, I don't have anything like that...
b8) Then everything's fine!!

page 28

b1) It feels pretty good to ride a bike
b2) after getting out of the pool right?
b3) Y-yeah.
b4) Th-this isn't good.

page 29

b1) Now that its just the 2 of us,
b2) I have no idea what I should talk about.
b3) Besides, this is the first time I've gone home alone
b4) with a girl!

page 30

b1) You know, you can talk to the coach about things other than swimming.
b2) If there's something on your mind, try telling her about it.
b3) Y-yeah.
b4) Haruka-chan has...

page 31

b1) such a small body.
b2) How can she swim for so long and not be tired afterwards?
b3) If its physical strength I should have more than she.
b4) Or does this just prove how much I suck.
b5) I was wheezing after doing just 25meters...
b6) Kawazu-kun!!

page 32

b1) Do you want to practice the crawl with me tomorrow?
panel) Its really fun.
b2) Wha?
b3) That's a little too advanced for me.
b4) That's not true, you know how to properly use your legs now.
b5) Thanks, but no thanks.
b6) I'll go at my own pace.
b7) Also...
b8) Its...

page 33

b1) If you spend your time trying to teach me, it'll end up being a waste anyway, so...
panel) Oh... shit. // After she went through all that trouble, // not only did I turn her down, I didn't think of a nice way to say it.
b2) I'll stick through it with you.
b3) huh?

page 34, 35

b1) Until you're able to swim, I'll stick with you throughout the whole ordeal!!
b2) Swimming is fun!!
b3) Haruka-chan...

page 36

b1) I'll leave at that for today.
b2) I'll see you at practice tomorrow.
b3) Y-yeah...
b4) cya, // tomorrow.
next to panl) We still have tomorrow!
