Synopsis:
Two years ago, five high-school boys brought fame to a small town in Japan. What was so unique was that they formed a "men's synchronized swimming club." Their involvement and struggles while learning synchronized swimming - known to be a sport for girls - brought much attention to their school and town.
Two years have passed since that summer, and the boys of Tadano High School are still in the club. The Fuji Television drama "Water Boys" shows how these young boys fight to learn synchronized swimming, fall in love, and enjoy friendship with one another.

p.s. spoilers coming up.
i wanted to watch this cox the movie was a blast, this season's cast was great and then i was disappointed. they dragged the story to make 11eps. i don't really know why that head teacher or something was so against the synchro swimming performing. the answer to their problem, the fans being a nuisance to their town's peace and cleanliness, is right in front of them. i don't know if they're thinking or what? it's a fucking festival for gawd's sake, people WILL really flock to your town/school especially when you have something special to show. isn't it a given that there will be traffic, noise and garbage? and they've had the synchro perf for 2yrs in a row, i'm sure they would have found a solution by then. and the head teacher's reason that he doesn't want the synchro swimming club members to be put down when they realize that in the future, dreams doesn't always happen and regret it for the rest of their lives. are you fucking kidding me? mind your own life, will you? it's just a fucking perf, for one day. and i don't know why they had to practice 24/7. i mean, can't you multitask? like spend your time in the classroom and 2-3 hours before sleeping as studying time, the rest as practice time. i'm sorry for all the rant but i don't really get it at all.
i got through the entire season cox, well, i like the cast and it's rather funny and i kinda want to know what will happen to their love lives. XD okay, i know it's obvious that Kashii Yu will end up with Eita and Yamada Takayuki will go after his bestie at the end. i just hoped they didn't made it that happy. well, it's a happy drama so that's also expected.
now i don't know if i'm going to watch season 2. maybe i will but there's no subs.
My Ratings: i'll give this 2/5 :)
