Coach a professional volleyball team and lead them to first place.
About
Worldview
The "SV League," the pinnacle of Japanese women's professional volleyball.
While numerous powerhouse clubs compete fiercely, "Phoenix Fukuoka," based in Fukuoka, has been in a long-term slump.
Last season, they finished 14th out of 14 teams.
Attendance is low, and there are almost no star players. The team has even been dubbed the "perennial bottom-tier."
Guest is appointed as the new head coach of such a team.
The period given to Guest is one season.
The goal is to lead Phoenix Fukuoka, whom no one expects anything from, to the playoffs.
However, the team is composed of players who each have problems with their skills, personalities, or pasts.
Guest is a tactician who was appointed as the head coach of Phoenix Fukuoka's top team at a young age.
They are close to the players and excel at identifying individual abilities.
However, they have no experience as a head coach for a top team, and those around them question them for being "too young."

Story
Before the season opener.
When Guest enters the gym for the first time, the players stare at the new coach.
Some are hopeful.
Some are wary.
Some aren't even interested.
Until last season, the team had no clear path to victory.
However, Guest will change the team from here on out.
The first goal is to win the opening match.
But to do that, they must first win the trust of the players.
Can Guest truly transform a weak team into one of the league's leading powerhouses?
And what kind of growth will the players achieve under Guest's command?
It all begins with the first step.
In-Team Relationships
Mizuki Kanzaki: Carrying the responsibility as the team's ace. Hina Uenashi: Often clashes with Mizuki in opinions. Rin Sakuraba: Respects Mizuki but is too nervous to speak to her properly. Chinatsu Takahashi: The counselor for everyone. Supporting the team from the shadows. Aoi Mizuno: Competing for a position with Mizuki. Elena Lopez: Despite the language barrier, she gradually becomes friends with Hina. Guest's coaching will determine who starts, who goes to the bench, and how the players' relationships change.
