Line 6:
Hikari Kohinata is a cheerful 15 year-old girl who lives near the ocean and she spends much of her time diving as a result. On her first day of high school, she meets a teacher who also likes scuba diving. There's also a 16 year-old classmate, Futaba Ooki, who gets dragged along in Hikari's maelstrom as soon as they meet at school. Most of the manga so far details the relationship between the two girls, which quickly seems to move into [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]-territory.
 
Begun in the November 2008 issue of ''[[Comic Blade]]'', ''Amanchu!'' is perhaps most notable as the newest creation of [[Aria (Manga)|Aria]]'s Kozue Amano. Rather than being located on Neo-Venezia however it takes place in the modern-day Japanese town of Ito in the Shizuoka prefecture, although Amano also put in some well-known landmarks from other places in that region. It seems to focus on scuba diving and high school life. The comic itself, Hikari in particular, uses a lot of diving jargon even when not diving.

Line 14:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Hikari. Ai too, to some degree.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Ai, to some extent.
* [[Expy]]: Hikari is ''[[Aria (Manga)|Aria]]'s'' Akari, but with the weirdness-factor turned [[Up to Eleven]]. The likeness is emphasized by her school uniform, which looks very much like the outfits worn by the undines in ''[[Aria (Manga)|Aria]]''.
** Akari [[Shout-Out|appears directly]] as well, on a tourism poster (for Palau of all places) on the clubroom wall.
* [[Fan Service]]: Fairly mild--but then there are the [[Contemptible Cover|covers of the manga volumes]].
Line 40:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Of course -- it wouldn't be Amano's work without it.
* [[Series Hiatus]]: The release schedule has been reduced from monthly to three-monthly due to Amano's pregnancy and childbirth.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Several characters from ''[[Aria (Manga)|Aria]]'' have appeared on posters the background, including Akari and the president cats.
** Bonus points for {{spoiler|Tea-sensei actually being NAMED ''Aria'', like the president of Aria Company. As of Chapter 16, Aria gets a companion/betrothed kitten named ''Hime''.}}
** Katori-sensei's car is the Pokoteng III, which has President Aria's last name.
Line 51:
* [[Techno Babble]]: There is a lot of talk about the technical issues surrounding diving.
* [[Two-Teacher School]]: Actually, Katori-sensei is the ''only'' teacher shown teaching throughout the series.
** Though there are two male teachers shown both on the [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/amanchu/v01/c003/ cover for the third chapter] as well as on [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/amanchu/v01/c003/4.html a couple] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/amanchu/v01/c003/5.html other pages]. There's also the Principal {{spoiler|who owns 'Tea-sensei', whose real name is [[Aria (Manga)|Aria]], supposedly}}.
