Received in advance
Bearing the stigma of "plagiarism", Natsuki Akiyama fled Kanagawa and transferred to Tokyo.
She sealed away all her painting tools, along with her dreams and visions.
The new life is peaceful until—
The young man playing volleyball burst into her sight again with the memory of that rainy day a year ago.
He is calm, controlled, and a setter who is at ease on the court.
He would shield her from excessive attention, tie up her long hair under the starry sky, and say to her:
"The canvas is always waiting for you, just like the court is always waiting for volleyball."
When Seiichi Yukimura appears with an unsolved mystery,
When bullies from the past strike again at national art exhibitions,
Natsuki knew that she had nowhere to escape.
This time, she didn't want to run away.
Because there is no one behind her anymore.
This is a story about healing, growth and the courage to love. It is also a record about how a group of sparkling teenagers used volleyball and passion to illuminate a girl's black and white world.
