After an unexpected injury forces Yuriko Hinata to leave Japan's elite youth volleyball program, she finds herself back in Miyagi at Karasuno, the school she never planned to attend.
What was meant to be a quiet return and a step away from the sport becomes anything but, as Yuriko is pulled into the energy of the Karasuno team-where the gym is messy, the players are loud, and volleyball feels alive in a way she thought she'd lost.
She's not here to prove anything. Not anymore. But that doesn't stop her from drawing the attention of teammates and rivals alike. Her knowledge is sharp, her skills sharper-and despite her hesitation, she can't help but feel that same fire start to build again.
â¦Romance & Rivalry â¦
Yuriko's return doesn't go unnoticed. From quiet glances in the gym to teasing remarks after practice, sparks begin to fly both on and off the court. Whether it's the setter who speaks through the ball, the calm vice-captain with a hidden smirk, or the golden boy from another team, Yuriko finds herself at the center of something she didn't expect: connection. Tension. Chemistry.
She came back for closure.
She might just find everything else, too.
All eyes are on her-but can she face the pressure, and herself, head-on?
