Synopsis

Originally from a big city, Futaba Ooki spends most days cataloguing her life through pictures on her phone. Upon moving to a seaside town, she gazes out over the vast expanse of sea and quickly becomes captivated by its endless possibilities. Unbeknownst to Futaba, her quiet contemplation catches the attention of local diving enthusiast Hikari Kohinata. Finding herself in the same class as Futaba the next day, Hikari is drawn to her quiet and shy demeanor and affectionately nicknames her Teko, sparking a tender friendship.

Struggling to adapt to the change of pace in her life, Futaba finds herself strung along by Hikari's vast energy and passion for diving. Together, they join the school diving club, led by their homeroom teacher Mato Katori. With Hikari by her side, Futaba works to earn her diving certification while experiencing new friendships and possibilities.

Very nice ...

Amanchu! is the story of a teenager called Futaba. She looks like a supermodel but she suffers from social anxiety. Futaba recently moved to a seaside town and there, she quickly befriends an apparently mentally handicapped girl who goes by the nickname of Pikari who, throughout the series, teaches the protagonist that the secret to a happy life is to stop stressing about stuff and enjoy the little everyday things.

The series clearly wants to get the message across that regardless of the fact that someone might look utterly braindead to you, you still might be able to learn quite a bit from that person and ...

Hi. Another one here that come in looking forward to see more Aria likes works.

Amachu is more a Yuri anime than a Iyashikei. Aria was more like a Iyashikei with light Yuri elements, more like fanservice here and there than anything else. In Aria male characters had an actual "face", so yes, this is a detail that sends a clear message.

Dynamically, if follows the lead girl, Futaba-chan personal narrative on how her partner Pikari leads her out of her social enclosement.
Diving element are somewhat scarce, it's not a diving anime, really, but the girls looks cute in the suits.

It's probably a 6.5 I ...
