Ever since that day, Neri Oishi’s resolved not to make friends. She’s fifteen years old and plays volleyball at Hakuunzan Private Academy Middle School, which is known for producing top players of the sport. Neri’s doing everything she can to hold herself back, including hiding that she was the captain of a team that took second place in a national tournament when she was in elementary school. While she’s immersed in this team sport, why should Neri have to kill herself? What keeps her from quitting volleyball in spite of that? Get ready for an ensemble volleyball drama!
Neri’s been invited to train with the national team, but the experience physically teaches her just how much she has to learn. She visits the room of captain Kiryu and ace Komyoji, two athletes who’ve toed the line of death—and they have something to teach her. Meanwhile, Takako’s depressed after seeing her uncle—her only family—flirting with team member Mayu, but a little encouragement from Neri gets her focused on the game once more. Together, they face off against Mayu, part of Kokuyodani’s golden years and the toughest middle blocker in all Japan!
