Hi I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask but.

I'm currently in Japan and I'm really struggling to find free merch. When I try to do online searches online I normally just come up empty handed.

Would anyone have locations with free merch that I can check out.

(Currently in Tokyo)

Why was the younger brother of the ex-captain of Rin's team like "cleavage🤭" while blushing when he saw that Rin had a low-cut shirt, and what is the explanation for that? Haha, is there even one? Bisexual king or what?

Hi everyone!

I’m wondering if anyone here would be interested in buying some Free! (Iwatobi Swim Club) merchandise that I have?

I have a few items, including CDs, figurines, and other merch.

I haven’t taken photos of everything yet, but if there’s enough interest, I’ll take pictures of the items and share them here.

For now, I’m just checking if there are interested buyers before I put together a proper list of everything available.

If you’re interested, please leave a comment or dm me. feel free to mention which characters or types of merchandise you’re looking for, too.

(most of my merchs are MAKOTO😅)

Thank you!

please message me if you are selling one or if you know where i can purchase one. I have checked SO many websites and can not find this bag anywhere.

This was a quick one. It's not tvery accurate either since I drew him from memory but imo this is cute enough to post.

I've seen people say that there is a dub for Road To The World, but I've been unable to find it anywhere. And there's been nothing about the dubs for the Final Stroke movies. If anyone can provide me with RTTW dub or information on FS dubs I'd be very grateful.

i bought him for a suspiciously cheap price… the seller had good ratings though… i also cross referenced the box with my friend who has the rin version of this figure, and the only difference was that her’s came with instructions and mine didn’t (but i’m not too worried about that since this is a secondhand figure, things are bound to get lost along the way). but it looks real, right? or am i just coping really hard lol

Does anyone have the files saved for the Free! ES shimeji and is willing to share them? I missed my chance to buy them years ago and now the digital shop is gone.

I have the first set of shimeji, but I'd love to have the others as well.

i got so incredibly lucky a week ago and managed to snag a deal on vinted of the free! eternal summer bluray/disc combo set for only $8! it just arrived today and it is BEAUTIFUL. thought i’d share some pics to commemorate 🩵🐬

hi everyone! i’ve been a long time fan of free! but now in my adulthood im getting back into the fandom, and ive been dedicated to trying my hardest to find any of the free! alter or eternal summer figures.
i only currently own the alter figure of mako so if anyone knows a spot where i can find them, or even if you’re interested in selling them yourself, please reach out! <3

For a month and a half striaght, 6 episodes we could stream OP for free on fb reels day of no ads and english subs. No longer. ☠️ Indonesian and Spanish Subs only 😭😭😭 why can fb just not sponsor free OP every week in reels with all the money they make 😭 help by posting consistent OP engl subs every week until the seasons up. Reddit superstars needed. ❤️💔💜

I feel like I see this question get asked once a month, but I still don’t know where to watch them. I don’t see them on crunchyroll, which is what I normally use.

i just finished rewatching the show and the final movie really hinted on aki looking up at harukas billboard, and at the end we can see rin, haru and albert competing in athens, and i really wanna know if there'll be a continuation😓

Yes Makoto we know you love Haruka romantically
