This is a story of a boy who challenges free diving.
"Free diving (skin diving)" may remind you of the film "Le Grand Bleu".
It is an extreme sport, and each meter added to its record brings us closer to the sea bed and further from the surface where one can breathe again.
In this sense, free diving has a direct connection with death, with which our fight continues, refashioned over time, bit by bit.
So, why would one free dive, and risk their life?
The answer lies within "mysterious bond between the sea and human kind".
And in the fast evolving world of competitive diving new data emerges that casts light on this bond.

A disturbing manga inspired by an even more disturbing movie of the same name (aka Suicide Club). As you might expect, they both deal with the theme of suicide. However, the plots of the manga and movie are significantly different, so don't wory about spoilers and such. Finally, I'd just like to point out that the manga isn't for the faint of heart, and the movie even more so.
