This week we’ve got girls girls girls! Also boys. And rabbits, snakes, and hawks.
Tiny skirts and bouncing chesticles? No thanks – not with these magnificent specimens of manhood on display. Gleaming washboard abs, perfectly toned quads, bulging biceps glistening with man-dew… it’s practically a smorgasbord of hawt male bodies, all lined up and ready to be objectified in this very special edition of All Your Monies.
After both a literal and an in-universe winter break, Haruka, Makoto, Rei, Nagisa and that girl reunite for another summer of swimming shenanigans, yet there’s a lot of work to be done before they can start training again. Meanwhile, Mikoshiba’s graduation leads to Rin becoming Samezakura’s new swimming team captain, with all due awkwardness.

Recap: Haruka, Makoto, Rei and Nagisa manage to win the relay and qualify for regionals. After a heroic welcome upon their return home, they decide to treat themselves to a visit to the local festival. Rin and the boys from Samezuka are there as well, though Rin does not seem to be his usual self.
Recap: Haruka starts questioning his motives for swimming, while Makoto, Nagisa and Rei try to compensate for his unexpected loss. With Iwatobi’s shot at the finals ruined, Gou offers the boys a surprising second chance.
Recap: It is the final days before prefecturals and while the Iwatobi boys train like there is no tomorrow, Rin’s drive to win digs up some demons from his past.

Nagisa’s eye quickly falls on the bespectacled athletics ace Rei Ryugazaki, for no other reason than that he has a girly name. I’m starting to spot some sort of…
