54 parts Ongoing MatureAfter moving from Tokyo to Miyagi due to her father's job, and to follow the invitation of a professor, Sakura Nakamura didn't plan on becoming the boys' volleyball team coach assistant, much less end up training with them. But when Michimiya suggests she practice with the boys to build strength, Sakura accepts. After all, her height has always meant working twice as hard.
What she didn't expect was to get lost on her first day and meet Yamaguchi, sweet, awkward, and the kind of guy who offers to walk her to the gym.
Even more unexpected? That his best friend would be Tsukishima Kei: tall, sarcastic, arrogant, and apparently allergic to human interaction. From the very first exchange, Sakura and Tsukishima clash like oil and water.
He mocks. She fires back. He sets boundaries. She ignores them. But as practices go on, the teasing turns into banter, the rivalry into routine, and the awkward silences into something neither of them is ready to admit.
And without meaning to, the girl with the headphones and a head full of books becomes more than just a skilled libero, she becomes the ray of sunshine that lights up Karasuno's gym.
Because sometimes, between matches, hyper fixations, and passive-aggressive comments, feelings grow without asking for permission.
And that... that's just so high school.
