The television series premiered on NTV in January. Yōichi Matsunaga (CRAZY, Do-S Deka, Debusen) is directing the series, and Erika Yoshida (Tiger & Bunny, Trickster, Heroine Shikkaku) is writing the scripts.
The stage play will run at Tokyo's Theatre 1010 from May 11 to May 21 and at Osaka's Morinomiya Piloti Hall from May 25 to May 28.
Kiuchi launched the manga on Hakusensha's "Hana LaLa online" website in July 2012, and Hakusensha published the manga's sixth volume in print on December 20. The youth manga follows the members of a men's swimming club at a high school in Tokyo.
