** ''[[IAmAHumanitarian The Hunger]]'': Makoto's ending. As a mesu, Youji’s body exhales a sweet, alluring scent in order to attract the osu around him.

Youji decides [[spoiler:he won’t accept the Sodomites]], since to "live" as a human didn’t seem like a choice that could possibly be made. [[spoiler: Kitani arrives and shoots Tetsuo and Youji, and the two fall off the roof and plunge into the pool. While falling, Youji remembers the car crash and why he lived on: his father was a meat monster host as well and sacrificed himself to save him. Youji decides that he wants to save Tetsuo the way his father saved him. A couple of years after, Tetsuo is alive and well and living with Youji, whose condition has worsened. Youji knows that he doesn’t have long to live, but doesn’t care, as being with Tetsuo these past few years has been the happiest time of his life.]]

The third BoysLoveGame by [[Creator/NitroplusCHIRAL Nitro+CHiRAL]] of ''VisualNovel/TogainuNoChi'' fame, ''sweet pool'' begins with the return of Youji Sakiyama to his Catholic high school after being confined in hospital for a year. Suddenly he finds his life changing in unbelievable ways as his fate becomes entangled with his classmate Tetsuo Shironuma, upperclassman Zenya Okinaga and best friend Makoto Mita.

Sounds like your typical school boys' love setting right? Except that this being a {{Creator/Nitroplus}} production means that the story is also infused with horror of the most potent kind. Filled to the brim with PrimalFear and BodyHorror, all heightened with a [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic brilliantly creepy soundtrack]], this is definitely not a game for the faint-hearted.

The manga adaptation has been licensed in English by [=SuBLime=]. A series of [[AudioDrama Drama CDs]] that acts as continuations of the game's endings was released in 2010. Additionally, it was announced in February 2018 that Creator/{{JAST}} USA will be [[https://www.jastusa.com/blue/ localizing]] the Remastered version. It was officially released in December 19th, 2018.
