They also gave us some descriptions of the stories! Here are my translations of them!

Rain and Cats, convenience store ice cream, soda flavored

One Sunday, Reki, Langa, and Miya were at the skate park, as usual, when they are caught in a sudden downpour. They take shelter at Reki's house, and end up playing karuta with deck they find there--!?

Someday we'll be able to become serious

We go back in time to when Sakurayashiki and Nanjo were high school students living in obscurity. They're still competing with each other as usual, but after a series of competitions, the conclusion they arrive at is...

Morning Routine

This is a story that reveals just a tiny bit of the mysterious daily life of Ainosuke and Kikuchi-- They each have their secret routines, when there's a crossover between the two, and then a certain someone appears.

Do your best Hiromi-chan!

It’s that time of year again where we wildly congratulate Kotetsu on his birthday, 14th August! 🐯 🎉

Hiroaki Hirata (Kotetsu’s seiyuu) shared art of the birthday boy from series’ main character Masakazu Katsura.

Whilst series’ animator, Keiya Nakano, also shares some past genga art of Kotetsu from promotional art work and from TIGER & BUNNY 2 that they’ve drawn

— ❝I only swim free.❞ •ᴗ•

— ❝Heroes don’t see themselves as heroes, that’s what makes them heroes.❞

so in the recently released Free! fanbook, there's a huge character relationship chart showing the relationships between the 2343984 characters in this damn series.

Most of the arrows pointing from one character to another are solid and indicate, based on the color, how the first character views the other. Some of them have dotted lines connecting them, though, showing that they feel the same way about each other.

Haru and Rin both share a dotted line that says "Destined to swim together forever"

— ❝If you swim with me, I’ll show you a sight you’ve never seen before!❞
