Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club (Free!)
Haruka Nanase has loved swimming since childhood, when he won a relay race alongside Rin Matsuoka, Nagisa Hazuki, and Makoto Tachibana before their friendship fractured. Years later, the three reunite in high school, but Rin's competitive obsession with proving himself faster than Haruka threatens to keep them apart. With recruit Rei Ryuugazaki rounding out the Iwatobi High School Swim Club, the four must train hard for the tournament that will finally settle things between Haruka and Rin.
