Grand Blue

"Grand Blue" is known for its outrageous and over-the-top humor. It features a lot of physical comedy, slapstick humor, and absurd situations. The characters frequently find themselves in comical predicaments, often exacerbated by their excessive drinking.

The main characters in "Grand Blue" include:

• Iori Kitahara: The protagonist, a college freshman who initially wants a normal college life but gets caught up in the diving club's antics.
  
• Kohei Imamura: A senior member of the diving club and one of Iori's first friends at college. He's known for his love of drinking and his bizarre traditions.
  
• Chisa Kotegawa: Iori's cousin and another member of the diving club. She's more reserved and responsible than the others but gets drawn into the craziness as well.
  
• Shinji Tokita: A close friend of Iori and Kohei, known for his strong love for alcohol and parties.
  
• Aina Yoshiwara: Another member of the diving club who joins later on. She initially joins to improve her diving skills but is quickly introduced to the club's eccentric lifestyle.
  

While "Grand Blue" is primarily a comedy series, it does offer some character development, particularly in Iori's growth as he adapts to the wild college life and learns to appreciate the value of friendships formed in the diving club. Chisa's character also undergoes some development as she becomes more comfortable with her surroundings and friends.
