~ Background ~

Umi has always been a big fan of volleyball from a young age. She loves the game more than anything just like her older brother. She played volleyball in Elementary school and Junior High as a Setter even being offered to attend Shiratorizawa on scholar ship but turns it down to attend Karasuno Highschool.

Umi loves to observer others playing and strategized, but lived to play the game of volleyball more. She used what she learned to help lead her teams to many victories. People would call her 'Angel of the Court' for her gracefully way of handling the ball as a setter and leader ship.

After the passing of Umi's father in Junior High she stopped playing to help take care of her family taking over morning duties. Their mother would always make it home for dinner. It's clear to her brothers that she misses playing hiding it behind a kind and bright smile taking team snacks as they practiced.  

This is were she would meet the 1st year duo. Can these two wild cards bring her back to playing the game of volleyball? Read and find out in Love for the Game!
