When the Ball Falls, So Does My Heart | Yamauchi Akihiro

He was Japan's giant - the middle blocker with a smile bright enough to fill stadiums. She was the childhood best friend he left behind, the girl with green eyes he once called summer. When Himari returns to Tokyo years later as a translator for the national team, she doesn't expect to find him again - older, sharper, and still heartbreakingly familiar. Between flashing cameras, late-night ramen, and ghosts of a past love, their worlds collide once more. But this time, it's not just a game - it's a second chance. Because sometimes the hardest match isn't played on the court, but in the heart.
