Anyone else obsessed with swimming anime right now? Like, Free! is amazing, but I need more. Any hidden gems out there? Or maybe some good manga recommendations? Let’s dive in!
If you’re hooked on swimming anime like Free!, you might enjoy ReLIFE, which has swimming arcs, or Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru, focusing on running but with a similar team spirit. For manga, try Aoi Hikari for swimming themes or Otokojuku for some competitive sports drama. Dive in and enjoy!
Not many sport anime cover the same sport, especially if it’s not a big sport, but I don’t believe there are any other swimming-related anime out there. Basketball, baseball, and golf are a few sports that come to mind as having numerous anime/mangas, however most sports really just have one story that covers it, if there is one at all.
If you’re merely searching for anything with a comparable vibe, Yuri on Ice, if you haven’t seen it previously, is probably a good choice. Tsurune and Yawamushi Pedal are two other options.
