Contrary to popular belief, girls like looking at naked guys, too. Well, maybe not naked, but women do appreciate the male physique and plenty of skin. While not all women are quite as picky in regards to what type of physique the male characters have, it is clear to say that by popular vote, men with slimmer bodies are more popular. Though that doesn't mean they have to be gaunt.

In many reverse harems, the male characters had thinner bodies that are customary to Japanese males. In the more recent years as evidenced by anime like Kamigami no Asobi and Free!, muscles are also becoming a more favorable trait in many male characters. Muscular physiques can be quite eye catching, but strangely enough, when these males are fully clothed, you probably wouldn't have noticed the muscle at all. However, that's what beach scenes, pool scenes, and onsen trips are for! Getting the guys to bare it all.

Which brings me to my next subject: skinship. This is not something that westerners will hear that often, but it is something that females appreciate. Skinship, in its mildest form, can be something like touching someone's arm, holding hands, or patting someone's head. It is a way of bonding with a loved one and it helps females feel more secure.

Skinship can also mean something as kind as wiping off the sweat off of someone's forehead. In a less innocent form, skinship can be something like helping to wash a guy's back that can be quite nerve wracking and have some exciting ramifications! Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side, an otome game, is known to have a skinship mode where simple touches can create doki-doki moments where the guy is blushing and nervous.

On the other hand, Duel Love is an infamous otome game with a skinship mode, shown after the guys shower, where the player can help the guys towel off and well, the ensuing scene is just something you should not play in public. If you don't know the game, you may have seen Tomoko play it in WataMote!

Some people might not understand something like skinship, but it is a relationship bonding moment between two people so much so that it can even be seen in ecchi harems. It may seem like an ecchi moment, but to the female characters it is an important moment to build a relationship with someone they like.

Nanase Haruka is a high school student who loves swimming, so much so that he enjoys merely being immersed in water such as in the bath. As a child, Haruka participated in a swimming competition in the relay race with fellow teammates Tachibana Makoto, Hazuki Nagisa, and Matsuoka Rin. After winning, each boy went their separate ways. However, now that they are in high school, they find themselves drawn to each other again as Rin returns from studying abroad.

Since then, Rin has greatly changed. Rin challenges Haruka to a swimming competition when he has returned so Haruka sets out with Makoto, Nagisa, and new swimming club member Ryuugazaki Rei to create the Iwatobi High School Swimming club. Although it has been a while since they have competed, everyone is ready to give it their all and defeat Rin!
