Synopsis

[Haikyuu!! All-Characters Harem, with Randomly Dropped Sweet Bonus Stories]

Back in middle school, Asahina Haruka was a libero known as a “genius.”

Until her talent became a shackle, and her teammates' silence and her coach's doubts made her understand:

Her teammates fell silent, her coach doubted her, and no one received the balls she sent their way.

She broke her own wings, gave up her talent, and buried herself in a full-dive game to forget the pain.

Then she made a friend named KODZUKA and chose a high school that wasn't strong at volleyball. She only wanted to be someone no one expected anything from.

Then she met Hinata Shoyo and Kageyama Tobio.

One was like the sun, pulling her out of the corner where she'd hidden. The other was calm as the deep sea, yet wrapped her whole being in that blue world.

“Are you really okay with this?” The question kept circling in her mind.

She thought she'd run far enough away, and thought this was just a story about volleyball.

Until Yuu Nishinoya said, “We seem to get along really well,” in a burger joint; until KODZUKA told her, “Believe in yourself,” on a tower in the game; until Tōru Oikawa leaned against a wall and called her “Asahina-chan”; until someone reached out a hand to her and said, “Let's play volleyball together!”; until someone started looking for her without even thinking about it.

She hadn't yet realized that people were watching her, but she was already shining.

This is a story about watching everyone grow, and about the paths that converge.

Every route gets its own ending, and the full-dive game storyline runs throughout.

Current progress: Volume One, “The Knot in Her Heart,” is complete; Volume Two, “Crossing Paths,” is ongoing.

This is my first time writing a long novel. These are my personal character interpretations, with some original details, and I'll be changing the volleyball rules. If that bothers you, proceed with caution.

I caught up in no time (sadly). The author writes so well! It's such a heartwarming slice-of-life story, it warms my heart. The characters are perfectly portrayed, there's no OOC (out-of-character) content, and the interactions are very interesting. There weren't any plot points that bothered me. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter! Keep it up, author! I'm really looking forward to how the story unfolds! ୧•̀ꇴ•૭

Someone actually wrote the character design I dreamed of! Oh my god, it's so good, it's just a bit short right now 😭 Also, I have a question: Will Asahina continue playing volleyball later on? _(:з"∠)_

It's great! The characters aren't out of character (OOC), and Haruka's personality is vividly portrayed. The guiding lover relationship between Kenma and Haruka is wonderful! 😳 The romance is also very delicate, and the writing style is exactly what I like ദ്ദി˶ᵒ ᵕ ˂)✧ I hope the author continues to update, so we can witness Haruka's growth together ˶╹ꇴ╹˶ (I hope other characters will appear soon! By the way, could the author please update more each day? It's just not enough! ᵟຶᴖ ᵟຶ)
