SynopsisMichiru is a high school boy who isn't really good at anything, including sports and socializing. He likes watching one of his classmates, Haruka, as she practices swimming. Haruka happens to be the only member of the swimming club associated with his school. As she and the coach search for members, she notices him and innocently believes he's been watching her because he really wants to swim. Michiru is unable to say no to her invitation to the club, even though he's never swam before and has no idea how it's done. Michiru finds his life changing as Haruka patiently teaches him how to swim.

In an attempt to read another Suzuka, I read frogman. If you like sports and romance this is probably a manga you should check out.
The story follows a shy boy and in his conquest to get the better of himself in many aspects of his life. One day he meets a girl on the swim team, who is extremely talented at swimming and loves it. From the start the girl has quite a bit of interest in him the boy being quite dense thinks his love for her is one sided. Of course another girl shows up, a moody tsundere! Who hates everything about our fine male protagonist, and how pathetic he is, however soon comes to love him.
In terms of a story, I think this would be far better off as a rom com, the sport aspect of this manga is a huge turn off because I feel like it was done poorly, and in terms of comparing it to other sport romances like Suzuka it really falls short.
The artwork is very nice and I can appreciate it and the faces and backgrounds.
All in all, if your interested in swimming with some romance this is for you but dont expect it to be top notch, this manga had potential to be really good, but dont let that stop you from reading it. read more

They are pretty much the same story just with different characters. Both are ecchi's, and have a boy who joins the swim team even though he can't swim.

How these are alike:
1) A male protagonist
2) The protagonist haz 0 physical strength
3) They join a club do to the female protagonist
4) They both involve the protagonists adventure in a club swimmingkendo
5) The protagonist slowly improves over the course of the manga
