Can someone tell me what the title actually means?
I tried adding a tentative translation to the wikipedia article (it seems to be something like Umisho swimming club's nude group or somesuch) but it got deleted as wrong but whoever did it didn't see fit to replace it with a correct translation. As for the Kenko bit, unless the series is being sponsored by the coffee company, I assume it's a really kenkou (けんこう) - healthy, wholesome. As for the show, I love the big cheezy grins, Hattori's latest heroine looks even sweeter than Yuki in Inu Neko Jump, although I did rather like the pathos of Yuki hiding from the world behind her headphones, rather like someone with the NHK syndrome thing who's ventured out into the world. I wasn't struck by the squeaky voice acting (once I managed to get sound at all, Ayu's sub remained resolutely silent for me and I ended up downloading a raw to watch. The Ayu sub appears to be Ogg Vorbis sound which I don't usually have a problem with.)

well the title is ケンコー, which is katakana for kenko / kenkoo. either way like you said it means healthy. Zenraki means nude, or completely nude; Suieibu is swimming club.
Presumably the title is reminding us Umisho is about healthy nudity for our viewing pleasure, not your typical ecchi, borderline H fapping material. |

oh btw.. what with the blushing on all the girls? Just art style from the manga? Its quite fitting for the shy "closet pervert" girl (shizuoka?).. but for others, kinda feel a bit weird IMO

It's probably part art style and part "zomg, I'm looking at partially naked people." Japan is so odd in some regards. There's such a free attitude towards sex in the country but showing skin, men with shirts off, and various other things is *boggggle* to them.
It could also be that all the female characters are all bi-s and blush at the hotness of the other female characters! |
