Nekoma Returns to Its Catboy Days

[Subscribe with care] [Updates every night at 9 p.m. This story will switch to a paid model starting from Chapter 21 on February 6, 2026. If you've already read those chapters, you don't need to buy them again. The story is quite short, so the paid chapters start fairly early. It's romance-focused, and the match descriptions are almost nonexistent in the second half.] Oikawa Asagi is 28 this year. He has a sponsor who invests in every match he plays, and he thought he was the sponsor's one and only. Then one day, he hears the sponsor saying the exact same thing to the orange-haired guy on the Black Jackals. "Shoyo, if your matches ever stop being exciting, I'll pull my funding." From that day on, Oikawa Asagi and the orange-haired guy on the Black Jackals become sworn enemies. Then an accident sends him back to his youth. He decides to transfer schools early so he can go and catch Kenma's eye. But after being reborn, he discovers that he seems to have lost his memory? Nekoma's newly appointed setter has a fan who's fiercely devoted to him. He's the sharpest sword in Nekoma's setter's arsenal, and also a major obstacle in the setter's efforts to make friends. Maybe Kenma doesn't know why he's so hostile toward Shoyo, or what he said in his previous life that made a boy chase after him through two lifetimes. On the national stage, Nekoma seems to change with one person's arrival. Kenma, too, changes a beast on the verge of losing control. They are the brains and the blood, bound together, and they will keep flowing endlessly for the rest of their lives. [Content warnings: The protagonist may have amnesia and a split personality. The personalities eventually merge.] A preview of an upcoming story, about Aoba Johsai: The Genius Junior I Hate Has a Crush on Me. Blurb: Oikawa Tooru hates geniuses. Unfortunately, in his short volleyball career, he has formed close ties with three geniuses he can't stand. A genius ace from Shiratorizawa, a junior from Kitagawa Daiichi who keeps chasing after him, and another who puts him under so much pressure he can barely breathe. Of course, the one he hates most is the genius who could surpass the other two: Mitani Kujira. He's a genius Oikawa can't handle, and a genius who drives him up the wall. "Don't look at me with that self-satisfied expression of yours, you damn genius!" To Oikawa Tooru, Mitani Kujira is an arrogant, cold-hearted junior who thinks he's invincible. He's insufferable. What Oikawa doesn't know is that the cocky boy freezes up completely in front of the person he loves. Mitani Kujira's inner thoughts: Aah, Oikawa-senpai really is so cool! I need to work even harder and get senpai to look at me like he looks at Kageyama-kun! In the year Oikawa graduates, he finds a black letter among the piles of love letters. "Volleyball is love, and you are like volleyball to me." Signed: Mitani Kujira That day, Oikawa's world turns gray. Heard Mitani Kujira got into Shiratorizawa on a recommendation? Oikawa: The nuisance is gone. Fantastic! "Long time no see, senpai." "Aah! Why did you come to Aoba Johsai, you little punk?!" Theme: If you keep working hard for the things you love, you won't have any regrets
