The girls in Class 3, Grade 1 at Karasuno High once thought Kageyama Tobio was a scary, cool guy.
Then one day, Yamazaki Mai discovered what a dummy he really was.
Mai cornered him in the equipment room off the gym and confessed, rising onto her toes to listen to his heartbeat.
It was heavy and strong, yet remarkably steady.
The boy stood ramrod straight, not daring to move an inch.
"Huh? Why isn't your heart beating any faster?" Mai, who was usually so confident in her charms, began to doubt herself.
Her gaze slowly shifted to the crook of his arm, where he was still holding a volleyball.
A slice-of-life school story.
A tsundere who makes her feelings obvious x a volleyball fanatic who can't catch a hint.
Please note: The heroine is a little proud, gets awkward about strange things, says one thing and means another, but is very decisive. She's a classic winner in life, a little like Asuka from Evangelion, though not quite that tsundere. If this kind of heroine isn't for you, please move along.
