Glaucos
Also known as: グロコス
by Akio Tanaka
This is a story of a boy who challenges free diving. "Free diving (skin diving)" may remind you of the film "Le Grand Bleu". It is an extreme sport, and each meter added to its record brings us closer to the sea bed and further from the surface where one can breathe again. In this sense, free diving has a direct connection with death, with which our fight continues, refashioned over time, bit by bit. So, why would one free dive, and risk their life? The answer lies within "mysterious bond between the sea and human kind". And in the fast evolving world of competitive diving new data emerges that casts light on this bond.

Read the full take
This is a story of a boy who challenges free diving. The sport may remind readers of the film Le Grand Bleu. It is an extreme sport, and each metre added to its record demands more from the diver. The premise is a sports drama in which a young athlete pushes his body to its limits.The strength is the immersion. The underwater scenes are tense and vivid, and the danger of holding one's breath is well conveyed. The boy's determination is earnest and easy to root for.The weaknesses are about focus. The story is tightly sport-focused, which may not suit every reader, and the pacing is measured. Readers wanting a broader drama may find it narrow.Recommended for fans of sports dramas about personal limits. Expect a tense, earnest read.
