What is the plot of "2.43 Seiin High School Boys Volleyball Club"?
Set in a high school in Fukui Prefecture, it depicts the youth of a boys' volleyball club aiming for the national tournament. The protagonist, Haijima Kimichika, attended a strong volleyball high school in Tokyo. However, he caused some serious trouble there. This prompted him to move to Fukui Prefecture, where he was born and raised, and reunite with his childhood friend Kuroba Yuni. Haijima has a passion and talent for volleyball, but has trouble understanding other people's feelings, which caused friction, while Kuroba has considerable physical ability but is weak under pressure. The two grow into an ace duo. However, during the last prefectural tournament of their junior high school years, the two collide. Still estranged, the two go on to attend the same high school, Shichifu Seiin High School.
After entering high school
Both Haijima and Kuroba join the boys' volleyball club at Shichifu Seiin High School. Waiting for them there were the passionate captain Oda Shinichiro, the brilliant, sharp-tongued vice captain Aoki Misao, who also serves as the vice president of the student council, and Hachino Akito, who never practices outside and always wears long sleeves and long pants due to his sun allergy. The boys' volleyball club of Nanafusei High School was once called a weak team, but from here they have grown rapidly as a rising star in Fukui Prefecture and will encounter various rivals.

However, in the All Japan Volleyball High School Championships, or "Spring High" for short, the height is 2 meters 43 centimeters.
