Flight Pattern: From the Sand to the Sky

Born on the beaches of Brazil, raised by the wind, and lit by the sun-Hinata Shōyō was made to fly.

When his family moves back to Japan, the boy who learned to jump on sand finds himself alone in a quiet middle school with no volleyball team, no net, and no one who believes in him-yet.

But Hinata doesn't give up. He trains alone, fueled by the memory of his final beach match and a fateful game he saw from 30,000 feet in the air-Karasuno High, the team that refused to fall.

This is not the story of a prodigy who wins from the start.
It's the story of a boy who loses, and learns to fly anyway.
