[Updates every night at 11:00. If something comes up and I can't update, I'll post a leave notice. Anti-theft ratio: 70%] [New novel, Is There Anything Wrong with Playing Volleyball with a Lucky Charm?, is now online. My buddy Cup's daily-updating novel, Yokohama Villain Roleplay Plan: Watch Me Become the Ultimate Villain] Crowds were terrifying. People staring was terrifying. Why did people have to interact with each other? From childhood onward, Tianyu Youmi had always seemed mysterious to his peers. He was strikingly handsome but rarely spoke. He seemed aloof, yet he was also a little lazy about everything he did. Classmates: "Tianyu looks so cool again today." Tianyu Youmi, the focus of everyone's attention, lowered his head slightly. What a pain. Why don't school uniforms have hoods? It's so easy to meet someone's gaze. In high school, illness kept Tianyu Youmi from starting school for almost a week. By the time he returned, all the new recruits for the volleyball club had arrived, and training was already underway. After recruiting had ended for the Inarizaki volleyball club, the coach suddenly led another boy into the gym. "I'm Tianyu Youmi, and I play middle blocker. I hope we can all get along." The boy before them had a cold expression and a stiff tone. His gaze seemed fixed on nothing in particular, and his whole presence practically said, "Stay away from me." Inarizaki: You don't exactly look like someone who's hoping to get along with people. Only after getting to know him did everyone realize he wasn't haughty at all. He was just a socially anxious cat who loved volleyball. Before a match: Tianyu Youmi stood expressionless behind his teammates, every inch of him saying, "Stay away from me." Opponents: Looks like a pretty arrogant guy. During a match: "Amazing! What kind of spike was that?!" "Hey, hey! Give me another one! I'll definitely block it this time!" Seeing Tianyu Youmi grin so brightly and cheerfully, everyone covered their mouths, overcome by his cuteness. Oh no, he really does look like a little black cat happily meowing. Opponents: You're cute and all, but are you sure you're the same Tianyu we just saw?! Tianyu: I... have social anxiety. Everyone: You call that social anxiety?! CP: Suna. Mainly because Suna looks like he knows what he's doing (whispers). The blurb was screenshotted on April 14, 2023. A few things to know: 1. There are original elements. Any unfamiliar schools or people are the author's own creations. 2. Matches and everyday life each make up 50% of the story. 3. The romance comes in the middle to later parts. 4. The protagonist has social anxiety, but not the typical kind, and it isn't particularly severe. He's a slow warmer who gradually grows closer to his teammates. 5. The character concept came to me in early April. When I first opened the novel for pre-orders, I chose Inarizaki as the school and Suna as the love interest based on readers' votes and suggestions. Theme: Play sports with cheerful confidence.
