Conquering the Volleyball World with a Cat, You’re Seriously Impressive

Low-self-esteem, fake-cold guy who unknowingly reels people in VS clever little cat

“An ordinary person like me could never shine as brightly as the protagonist...”

Igarashi Yoichi murmured, his gaze falling on the clever little cat Kozume. The light spilled across more than half of his body.

An accident in childhood changed the course of Igarashi Yoichi's life, leaving him with an inferiority complex.

Then, by chance, he got bound to something called a Growth System. Igarashi Yoichi was forced to change, forced to socialize, forced to learn to adjust his attitude, and forced to get closer to Pudding Head...

Along the way, he made many friends and gained a lot, but Kozume Kenma had caught his eye from the very beginning.

Kozume Kenma was clever and dazzling, the heart of his team.

He couldn't help watching the dazzling boy.

To his surprise, on an ordinary day, Kenma actually confessed to him.

“Weren't we just a senior and a junior? I never did anything like that.”

“...Then why do you make that face every day?”

The first time Kozume Kenma saw this boy, he was drawn to him.

“Thank you, Kenma.”

“I'll always make you happy, Kenma.”

[Content warning: This has little to do with the main plot and may become an Anime Crossover. You don't need to have read the other works. The protagonist is the uke. Igarashi unknowingly reels people in and is slow on the uptake. Please forgive any out-of-character moments.]
