[Haikyuu!!] A Young Bird's Volleyball Story

The gymnasium is spacious and bright. Tier upon tier of colorful spectators fill the stands, like waves that surge and roll, carrying joy and anticipation. The air smells of Salonpas spray. It isn't pungent, but it suddenly makes you feel alive. The past glides before his eyes like an illusion, yet this moment is so real and wonderful it hardly seems possible. Kawakami Aotori feels his heart beating fast. He looks around, wandering aimlessly, until a hand pats him on the shoulder. “What are you doing? So happy you've gone stupid?” his companion asks. “Maybe,” Kawakami Aotori says, finally unable to hold back a smile. He was once so small. Now he's grown up, and he'll keep growing until he slowly grows old and can no longer play volleyball. A silly daily-life take on people's first impressions of Kawakami Oikawa Toru: A pitiful kid with a poker face Iwaizumi Hajime: A serious, dependable guy Yahaba Shigeru: An honor student with a terrifying aura Kindaichi: A senior he admires Hanamaki Takahiro: A junior he's heard so much about Kageyama Tobio: A setter he'd like to use Kawakami Aotori: ... (experiencing violent inner turmoil) 0. This is the author's first book. The writing is awful, basically toilet paper, and it includes a lot of things the author wants to express. In short, it's stuffed with personal opinions. Other people add just a little, but mine is nothing but personal opinions. It's really bad, so enter at your own risk. Its one and only merit is that it's free, and reasonable criticism is welcome. But there's one thing I hope you won't use to attack me: I'm very patriotic, extremely patriotic. The biggest personal opinion woven into the whole story is that the protagonist and the protagonist's elders love China and firmly reject Japan's mistaken view of history. So please don't accuse me of glorifying violent criminals. That accusation is completely baseless, and it would leave me feeling as despairing and heartbroken as Yue Fei. 1. The main setting is Aoba Johsai, with Free!, Run with the Wind, The Prince of Tennis, Ping Pong, and Hetalia making appearances. There may be some gay romance, but the author has been single since birth and isn't very good at judging the right degree, so feel free to take it as socialist brotherhood. 2. A beginner is at the wheel. This sports klutz wishes everyone an early happy new year. If you spot any obvious bugs, please don't hesitate to point them out (I'll fix what I can). 3. The writing goes haywire from time to time. It's probably a sports-themed coming-of-age toilet-paper novel where you win some and lose some. Repeating myself: it's really toilet paper, extremely toilet paper, best read while on the toilet. 4. The author is a miserable, heartbroken salted fish. If this book is unfortunately abandoned one day, just imagine a meteor falling from the sky and destroying this fanfiction world. 5. Clicking on this story means fate brought us together. I want to tell you: whether or not our paths cross again, I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good night! Theme: Swimming, running, tennis, volleyball... Which sport do you like best?
