Doma Plays Volleyball at Inarizaki

Recently, the online poll “Who’s the Best High Schooler at Social Media?” went viral. To everyone’s surprise, Toma from Hyogo Prefecture’s Inarizaki High boys’ volleyball team beat out plenty of high schoolers who were models, idols, and the like, and claimed the top spot. Why was he so popular? His looks could rival an idol’s, and his words and actions made people warm to him. Countless people said he had saved them, calling him a haven for their hearts. “Lord Toma is the best! I’ll be his devoted follower for the rest of my life…” Suna Rintaro read out an online comment without changing his expression, and the volleyball team immediately erupted. Osamu Miya: “Are they crazy? How could they vote the fake Toma into first place?” Atsumu Miya: “Well… I guess distance makes the heart grow fonder.” Aran: “I’d like to complain, but Toma really is pretty great a lot of the time.” Osamu Miya: “What’s so great about him? Just imagining him using a voice like mine to say all that sweet, soft stuff gives me the creeps.” Atsumu Miya: “Come to think of it, not only does he sound like you, he looks a bit like you, too. Maybe you were brothers in a past life.” As soon as he finished speaking, a hand rested on Atsumu’s shoulder. Toma, with rainbow-colored eyes and white hair, smiled brightly. “I was an only child in my past life. But I’m still glad you’re sharing your brother with me, Atsumu.” Osamu exploded. “What? Are you saying it’d be beneath you to be my brother?” Aran: “How is that the point?” That night, inspired by the conversation, Toma posted on social media, asking which of the people they knew would make a good brother for him. The comments section instantly lit up. [How about Rin Matsuoka from Samezuka High? Your voices sound alike. Didn’t you visit his school to stir things up and share a photo of him in a maid outfit?] [Sho Midousuji from Kyoto Fushimi High! You two seem pretty close~] [Naru Miyano from Inashiro Industrial’s baseball team. You’ve met before, right?] [Ryota Kise from Kaijo High’s boys’ basketball team. Trust me, your vibes really match.] [If you want to learn opera and broaden your musical knowledge, Tsubaki Academy’s senior Itsuki Ootori would be a great choice.] [Speaking of music, I suddenly thought of Chiaki Hebiga from Singing with Mom. He’s the big singing guy, and his voice sounds a lot like Toma’s, too.] [Listen to me, Atsumu Miya from Toma’s volleyball team is obviously the best choice. People often mistake them for brothers with different parents.] … ★This is about the leader of the Paradise Faith reborn in the modern world! He’s human, not a demon!
