Play Volleyball? In the Name of Freedom!

[A crossover of various sports anime, mainly volleyball and swimming, with occasional fantasy elements!]

In Iwatobi, where the sea breeze blows gently, there's more than just the ocean and the beach.

There are also a group of boys who love swimming.

Though Shimizu Hangeshō himself doesn't seem to be one of them.

Even though his surname is Shimizu, and he has an inexplicable connection to water.

Shimizu Hangeshō shouts at the top of his lungs: Volleyball is my true love! Not swimming!

Sometimes Shimizu Hangeshō really does feel out of place among his friends because he loves volleyball so much.

But that's all right. Fighting back tears, Shimizu Hangeshō can pack his little bag and go play volleyball in neighboring Hyogo.

A certain blond fox shouts: Don't come! We absolutely do not welcome you! (Just kidding.)

I, Shimizu Hangeshō, am going to become the king of volleyball!

This is the story of a volleyball-playing boy growing up on a swimming anime set!

[Reading Guide]

1. The early part is mainly set in the Free! swimming anime, while the later part focuses on volleyball.

2. The story starts in elementary school and spans a long timeline. The volleyball storyline begins in middle school.

3. The pairing is Miya Atsumu, but the romance won't start very early. There's a lot of friendship, and the story is a big mix of everything!
