They clash at Spring High! A spoiler-filled introduction to the exploits of their rivals!
These rival schools and the protagonist's high school will clash at the national tournament, Spring High. What kind of battle will they wage? From here on, we will introduce the story, including spoilers!
The winner is Keisei Gakuen
And the winner was Keisei Gakuen, representing Tokyo. They also have their own dramas, and the story told from their perspective is a must-see. You can't help but cry when you feel their passion. It's also attractive that you want to cheer on rival schools!
Shizuin High School
Unitika and the other members of Shizuin High School fought a fierce battle, but they faced two schools in a row that were favorites to win. They lost in the quarterfinals. It's surprising that the story didn't turn out like a traditional sports story. They also had various troubles, with Aoki spraining his ankle and Haijima (Chika) injuring two fingers on his right hand. Furthermore, Uni burst into tears from the shock of losing.
The Unitika duo is broken up! ?
Unitika has grown a lot through this match. It's especially great to see that Uni, whose mental weakness was a problem, has grown so much. However, here comes a big shock: the Unitika duo, the protagonist Haijima and his childhood friend Kuroba, break up. I'm sure many fans were shocked to see them go their separate ways.
Haijima is poached
And then, Chika was poached by Keisei Gakuen, a high school in Tokyo that won the championship. No one would have thought that Chika would return to Tokyo again, so it was a very unexpected turn of events. I would have liked to see the Unitika duo aim for greater heights together, but it wasn't a strangely lenient turn of events for Shizuo High School, and it was a touching scene to watch. The scene where the third-year students send Chika off is a must-see. As for the Unitika duo, it would be great if they could fight together again in the youth team!
The meaning of "2.43"
As many of you may know, the title "2.43" refers to the height of the net at the Spring High Volleyball Tournament for men's volleyball. The height of the net is 2 meters 43 centimeters. In a normal volleyball match, it is 2 meters 40 centimeters, but in the Spring High, it is 3 centimeters higher. In order to overcome this 3 centimeter wall, the players practice every day.
The story continues!
It would be too sad if this work ended here, but it has been officially announced that there will be a continuation from here. I am very happy to think that I will be able to see their growth and play in the novel in the future. What kind of performance will Unitika show in the future on a different stage? I can't wait for the next volume!
