Due to her sun allergy, she cannot exercise outdoors for long periods of time due to health reasons, so when the boys' volleyball team practices outside, she joins the girls' volleyball team's indoor practice.

Two first-year members of Shichifu Seiin High School!
Originally childhood friends, two first-year members of Shichifu Seiin High School, Haijima Kosei (Chika) and Kuroba Yuni (Yuni). Chika moved to Tokyo when she was in kindergarten and attended a strong volleyball high school, but she got into trouble there. Chika, a "volleyball fanatic" who only has eyes for volleyball, only looks at the top and demands the same from her friends. Because of this, she lost her place in the world. Due to this, she transferred to a junior high school in Fukui Prefecture, where she reunites with Yuni. However, Yuni is surprised to see that there is no trace of the cute Chika she used to be. Chika is very talented at volleyball and has a genius sense as a setter, but he is clumsy and has trouble understanding other people's feelings, and he has problems with his words and actions. Because of this, there is always turmoil around him.
The duo of the two is hot!
The duo of the two, "Unitika," is just hot! That is the charm of this work. Because both of them are clumsy, various problems arise, and there are depictions of their relationship falling apart, but the process of them gradually recovering is moving. Chika is also quite clumsy and causes trouble, but Yuni is also weak under pressure and makes mistakes at important times, and sometimes even runs away from the game. The sports depiction is of course exciting, but this work is also worth paying attention to their human growth and relationship. I'm really looking forward to seeing these two overcome various conflicts and finally play an active role as a team as a duo.
The second-year members of Shichifu Seiin High School! What are Dracula and Sleeping Beauty?
And pay attention to the second-year members "Dracula and Sleeping Beauty". This episode is particularly popular among fans. Dracula is Akito Kakino, and Sleeping Beauty is Suemori Ibara, as the name suggests. The story depicts the relationship between the two, who originally played volleyball together in junior high school. Just like the first-year students, they also had complicated feelings and passions.
Complicated feelings during adolescence
Ibara is a girl, and she can't keep up with the changes in her body. In junior high school, she was the ace, but she was discouraged by her changing body and the helpless difference in strength between boys and girls, and from high school onwards, she was unable to perform as well as she wanted. Being an adolescent, Ibara is frustrated and helpless, and she expresses her feelings to Kakino. Here, we can see the cool side of Kakino, who was once unreliable, and I'm sure many fans were attracted to the gap. In the midst of all this, the interaction and relationship between the two was heartwarming, and many readers were looking forward to what happens next! This episode left many readers thinking this. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it will be portrayed when it is made into an anime.
