This is an interesting read as a Jojo fan, but I have some things I'd like to point out.The author doesn't seem to understand the powers of a few Stands at all! 1st) Author seems to think Crazy Diamond is limited to only fixing inanimate objects when Crazy Diamond fixes EVERYTHING other than its owner + it can't bring the dead back to life. Other than that, Crazy Diamond is an absolutely broken OP Stand with seemingly no limit to its restorative powers at all! Author wasted so many The World Over Heaven's Reality Overwrite ability to heal others when he could have just used Crazy Diamond to heal them, and save the Reality Overwrite abilities of The World Over Heaven on himself.2nd) God Anubis is a Stand that possessed a sword. It has the ability to PHASE through inanimate objects to strike at the target. Which means blocking or hiding behind something is useless against Anubis. Author had many weapon clashes against many enemies using Anubis when he could in fact one shot someone by phasing Anubis through their weapons or shields and slashing at them directly and kill them. Author seemed to have forgotten that Anubis actually have such an ability, other than learning and improving itself through battle and possessing its wielder. Technically speaking, he could slash and kill Tony Stark through the Iron Man armour by phasing Anubis through it. Defending against Anubis is meaningless and useless. The only reason Star Platinum and Silver Chariot can clash with Anubis is because they are all Stands, and only Stands can interact and interfere with each other. Being the only Stand user in the story, technically speaking NOTHING can stop Anubis from using its phasing ability. Unless author want to throw in that the mystic and occult powers can interact with Stands, there should be nothing that can stop Anubis at all.3rd) Emperor is a Stand by itself. It DOESN'T need to possess a gun or a medium to be used. The gun itself is the Stand! Along with its bullets! If it is a gun related Stand that needs a medium to be used, it will be S*x Pistols used by Mista in Vento Aureo, and it works by having the little Stands alter the bullet's trajectory by bouncing it around. Technically speaking, if he used Crazy Diamond, he could keep restoring and retrieving the same bullet over and over without the need to reload or to purchase new bullets, making it a super OP combination. If he combined Killer Queen's ability and turn the bullet into a bomb, it will be even more terrifying. Imagine a bullet that can alter its trajectory 6 times! Furthermore this bullet is also a bomb that can either explode on contact or trigger, with the explosion capable of blowing you out of existence, leaving absolutely no trace of you behind! Even when blocked or exploded at a distance, it will still deal substantial damage to the victim, as shown by Higechi, Jotaro and Okuyasu taking a lot of damage even when they managed to avoid a direct point blank explosion.4) Author likes to remove all traces of his murder by freezing his victims to ice sculptures and then shattering them. This might seem cool but it DOESN'T remove his traces and evidence. When the ice melts, blood and DNA will be all over the place. He should have just used Killer Queen for a cleaner kill and to remove all traces. This was how Kira Yoshikage avoided capture and how all his victims became missing person cases because absolutely no trace of them are left behind, making it seem like they just disappeared into thin air from the face of this world. Killer Queen's bomb literally blows and disintegrate you out of existence. Not even ashes, hair or any DNA left behind, making Killer Queen one of the most dangerous and terrifying Stands to fight against.5) Author forgot Dio's signature throwing weapons at a target. In the story, he used some Implosion Black Hole Grenades when he could literally Stop Time with The World, throw knives or anything that had been turned into a bomb by Killer Queen at the target, and then just resume time and blow the target out of existence. It is stupid to use grenades, no matter how high tech when he had a literal bomb making Stand that makes the strongest bombs in the world.
Umisho is a highly ecchi manga that revolves around the antics of a predominantly female swimming club, as observed through the perspective of their male manager who, interestingly, cannot swim.
The "can't swim" aspect serves as the foundation for most of the limited plot: childhood trauma tied to a mysterious memory of a mermaid, and a beautiful transfer student with an air of mystery who appears to recognize him from the past joins the team... Fast forward about 100 chapters of swim team ecchi comedy, and you can probably guess the outcome.
The artwork is commendable. The swimming scenes appear impressive (at least to someone who has never participated in competitive swimming), and the girls are all adorable and uniquely characterized.
The humor aligns with typical ecchi fare but is executed effectively. The asexual adonis team captain is riotous, as is the shy, big-breasted girl who harbors secret perverted tendencies. The protagonist fits the mold of a standard milquetoast harem lead; the main female character is cute and hyperactive, primarily serving to ignite whatever explosive situation is brewing.
The romance is charming and sweet, yet if that's your primary interest, there isn't much to offer. A few chapters at the start, some scattered throughout the middle, and a rather hurried (but happy) conclusion. There isn't even much harem dynamics here; the girls mostly interact with one another while the male lead passively observes.
Nevertheless, if you enjoy ecchi shounen comedies, Umisho is far from the worst option. Don't anticipate a deep plot or significant romance—this isn't even on par with To Love Ru or Nisekoi, let alone Love Hina. Instead, expect plenty of cute girls in swimsuits engaging in wild antics, often hilariously so.

I think term " Netori " fits perfectly.
And thanks for confirmation, I was about to drop.
