Ren Takahashi just wants to be a ghost. Standing at a towering 194cm with god-tier athletic reflexes, he is a monstrously overpowered volleyball player who spent his entire junior high years faking cramps and sitting on the bench to avoid the spotlight. Seeking a quiet high school life where he can completely blend into the background, he enrolls at the fallen powerhouse, Karasuno High. But Ren's plans for a peaceful, average existence are instantly threatened by the arrival of two chaotic first-years: the blindingly intense Tobio Kageyama and the relentlessly loud Shoyo Hinata. Caught between his absolute refusal to fly and a team desperate for a miracle, Ren must use every ounce of his genius-level talent just to hide it-or risk being dragged into the burning light of the court.
