Grand Blue Dreaming (ぐらんぶる)

Do you have a thing for Kitahara?

Ye...

Yeah, no. No way.

Really?

Where did you get that idea? Maybe you should lay off the booze.

Hey, I did say sorry if I got the wrong idea.

Never. Not in a million years.

Anyway, long day tomorrow, so I'm going to bed. Night.

Yeah, night.

Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3

Good morning.

Good morning...

You guys look so sleepy.

I guess...

I'm still beat after yesterday.

Yay for Dolphin! TV Shoot Today

So, we've got a TV crew coming to film a special on the store today.

Whoa.

Media coverage before we even open?

This branch must be a big deal.

We wish.

Huh?

I had to pull some strings.

Way to go.

Okay, split up into two teams: chores and filming.

And listen, I don't want anyone on the chores team on camera.

TV Shoot Team

DU

DUN

Chores Team

DU

DUN

Okay, get to your spots.

Hold it. Why am I doing chores?

Just following your instructions, boss.

You know you get extra-cranky when you're nervous.

By the way, Kitahara.

Yeah?

What are you looking for in a girl?

I hate to admit it, but a bangin' bod.

Sounded like you admitted it all too readily.

How about when you're not trying to bust a nut?

Hmm, let me think.

It's all about that ample bosom, maybe?

Tig Ol' Biddies

That's still a bust, dick for brains.

Eh, someone who's chill to be around?

Oh?

And it'd be cool if they were passionate about something.

Uh-huh.

Someone who can teach me new things and stuff?

I see.

So, someone you can hang with all day, who has their own hobbies,

and who can show you a whole new world?

Something like that, yeah.

Me?!

You were asking about girls, you moron.

The TV crew's here.

This is Yuichi Ikegoshi.

It's great to be here.

Ooh?

Well, he sure looks the part.

Let me see.

You're into guys like that, aren't you?

That's ancient history!

Is it?

It is!

I've changed, okay?

Okay, back to work we go.

One Hour Later

Two Hours Later

Three Hours Later

They're back?

What's going on?

Iori.

During the dive, Ikegoshi-san actually...

Yikes.

He scratched himself on the coral.

I guess we'll do the rest without Ikegoshi-kun.

Please, no! It's just a scratch!

Sure, but it's on your face.

Let Ai-chan handle the rest.

I can't do that! I'm begging you, please!

He's really fired up.

Apparently, this is his first show as host.

Do you think Cakey's makeup can cover it up?

That'd be a different kind of disaster.

Don't be mean.

You!

Eek!

Wh-What does he want?

Sorry about him. He really can't deal with strangers.

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

So, how can he help you?

Well, I was just thinking...

Excuse me for a second.

Producer! What do you think?

With a little hair dye...

it might work, right?

Body double?

Please!

For seven years since my debut, I've been told I don't have a big personality.

But now, I'm finally getting my shot!

I want to market myself as a diver idol!

A diver idol? What?

I dunno if that'll help you stand out.

I think it's a great idea.

Kohei, you heard the man.

Hell to the no!

And you heard him.

I'm begging you!

If you want him to budge,

you're gonna need a voice actress's autograph at least.

A voice actress?

If Yurika Muranaka will do, I can get one.

Tokyo Dome-Level Voice Actress

Yurika Muranaka

Yurika Muranaka here!

Tokyo Dome-level voice actress, Yurika Muranaka!

Don't blame me if this doesn't work.

Looks like he's in.

That settles it, then!

Maybe, but...

Huh?

You might wanna reconsider.

I agree.

Why's that?

He's a pretty big weirdo.

Really? That's a problem...

Changed your mind?

Good.

That's a problem...

but not for me!

What are you, the king of being misleading?!

It's all good! A little quirkiness is just what I'm looking for!

I-Is that so?

If you feel so strongly, we won't stop you.

But let me just say one last thing.

Don't say we didn't warn you.

For the love of god, take him back.

That was instant.

Wait! Sure, he's a bit weird...

What did you do?

They wanted a shot with my suit unzipped.

They meant flash your chest a little.

You unzipped it all the way, didn't you?

You took the job, so no stripping, okay?

That's a tall order, but I'll try.

See? At least use him for the food review!

He also said it'd be a tall order.

You should go see a doctor, Ikegoshi-san.

Right.

Hey...

I'm really counting on you, okay?

Leave it to me. Anything for the autograph.

Good morning!

Ai Takahashi here! Thank you for having me!

Hey there, Ai-chan.

Damn! She's got legs for days!

Wow, she's pretty!

Oho?

I've got to make a move!

Don't be stupid.

She's way out of your league!

Let a guy dream!

Try not to flash the camera and end up in jail!

Tell my shirt, not me.

You're blaming your clothes?

Yeesh.

Wait right there, Kohei.

Good morning, Ikegoshi-san!

Hey, don't ignore her.

M-Morning.

Are you Ikegoshi-san's friend?

Not in a million years.

No, I'm staff here at this diving shop.

Oh, really?

If you don't mind,

could we go out when you're off work?

Who, me?

Yeah. We're on a tropical island and all.

We should hit the beach before we leave.

Oh, you don't say.

For real?!

A tropical island, the big blue sea,

and a dependable gentleman to show her around!

This is a one-in-a-million chance!

Of course! It'd be my pleasure!

Oh, thank you so much!

I'm not going.

Bring your ass. Do it for me.

I refuse.

Make yourself useful for once, damn you!

Shut up and die.

You're not interested, Ikegoshi-san?

No, he'll come around!

Could you take me out then?

A-Are you sure?

Huh? Yes, I'm sure.

We're good to go!
