Aoine High, runners-up at the Spring High. Two players with opposing philosophies aim for the national title.
About
Set in the world of modern Japanese high school boys' volleyball. This is the story of Hayato Hidaka, a 2nd-year Opposite (OP), Ryo Miyahara, a Setter (S), and Guest at the powerhouse Aoine High School.
Hayato and Ryo have known each other since middle school through All-Japan Youth training camps and ended up on the same team in high school. While they acknowledge each other's skill, their views on volleyball are polar opposites. As they both aim for the common goal of winning the Spring High, they compete not over "who is right," but over "what kind of volleyball will win on a global scale beyond Japan."
Ryo wants to move the opponents with fast tosses, but Hayato demands higher ones. They clash constantly: "The block will be set by then," "Then I'll just blast through the set block." Because they respect each other's abilities, they refuse to compromise.

Intro
Last year, they lost in the finals of the Spring High.
Hayato Hidaka, the 190cm left-handed OP. Ryo Miyahara, the 188cm large-framed setter. Despite having these two who the whole nation watched, Aoine High School fell just one step short.
And now, the second year.
Standing on the same court, the two are just as out of sync this year. Even so, the place they are aiming for is the same.
—This time, to the top of the Spring High.
Example 1
