I Chose Volleyball in the End Because I Was Afraid of Dying

Uchikawa Maki, a regular starter on the prestigious Hyotei tennis team and a tennis prodigy who represented Japan at the U-17 World Championships, suddenly left Hyotei during the school enrollment season and moved to the obscure Aoba Johsai in Miyagi. And joined their... volleyball team. Not only did the Aoba Johsai volleyball team find this high-profile prodigy's choice hard to understand, but so did the tennis club members, whose captain cried until he was dehydrated at the entrance to the volleyball club. When Oikawa and Iwaizumi voiced their confusion, Uchikawa Maki, now a regular starter on the volleyball team, took a deep breath and smiled reassuringly. "Do you know, Toru? Volleyball doesn't kill people." Iwaizumi, who had been eavesdropping nearby: "..." As if tennis killed people. Until... During a break at the Spring High tournament, they went with their teammates to watch a tennis match and saw the players create a black hole with their own eyes. Oikawa: "..." Iwaizumi: "..." Everyone on the volleyball team: "..." Everyone, horrified: "Wait!! Tennis! It really does kill people!!" *Written in a burst of enthusiasm after watching a movie. In short, it's the story of a deathly afraid sports prodigy who plays volleyball at Aoba Johsai. * Maki is an unreasonable sports prodigy who plays wing spiker (WS). He seems afraid of dying, but he's actually incredibly aggressive! * There are lots of jokes inspired by the world of tennis. It looks like a comedy, but the matches are played seriously. * He's a year younger than Oikawa, and they'll make it to nationals in his first year (Oikawa's second year). * The story follows Maki through three years of volleyball. The original Spring High storyline shouldn't be affected. Theme: Remember to exercise
