Synopsis
Hajima, who had a serious trouble with the powerful junior high school volleyball team in Tokyo, moved to Fukui, his mother's hometown where he spent his childhood, and reunited with his childhood friend Yuhito Kurobane.

Kuroba, who has outstanding physical ability but is weak against pressure, and Haishima, who has just caused friction with the surroundings due to his overwhelming passion and talent for the valley, will grow as an ace combination. However, a collision at the last prefectural tournament in junior high school...

In isolation, the two go on to the local Seiin High School. Waiting in the men's volleyball club were the hot-blooded captain Oda, who is 163 cm tall, and the second-year students, including the talented and poisonous tongue deputy captain Aoki's third-year combination and the coffin field with long sleeves and long pants who are allergic to sunlight.

The new volleyball club will eventually break the shell of a weak team and grow into a presence that is attracting attention as a rising star in Fukui. Attractive rivals that stand in the way are appearing one after another!
