Hikari Kohinata is an overwhelmingly cheerful and outgoing fifteen-year-old girl who has spent all her life in a small town by the sea. That premise is sunny and calm, and the series builds its warmth on her joy in discovering the ocean through diving. The sea, its creatures and the people around her become the heart of the story.The strength is the calm. The art is lovingly detailed, and the diving and sea life feel vivid. The everyday warmth is comforting and sincere.The weaknesses are clear. The pace is very gentle, and there is little dramatic tension. Readers wanting a plot may find it too quiet.Recommended for readers who want a soothing, joyful story about the sea. Expect a warm, gentle read.
