RE-MAIN
A warm, earnest sports anime about rebuilding and redemption, balancing the competitive drive of water polo with the slice-of-life bonds of a struggling high school team.
Minato is a boy who stopped playing water polo due to a certain incident in the winter of his third middle school year. He picks the sport back up again with a new team when he starts in high school, but the fledgling team runs into many problems.
