Can Playing Volleyball Get You Killed?

Blurb Li Mingsheng, a 25-year-old Chinese man and a famous left-handed outside hitter in China, inexplicably transmigrates after a car accident. From the start, he lands in Hyogo Prefecture. Whenever he trains at the club, he keeps running into familiar faces, hearing a familiar Kansai accent, and seeing familiar, irritating expressions... Have I met these people somewhere before? Only belatedly does Li Mingsheng realize he's transmigrated into the anime his nephew watched. That's right, it's Haikyuu!! Good news: He's a professional player reborn, and his new body comes with amazing natural physical ability. Bad news: He's currently a baby. Forget playing ball, he can barely even run. He discovers that he has a 26-centimeter Achilles tendon. In his previous life, he was only 184 centimeters tall, yet could jump to over three meters. Li Mingsheng can barely keep his poker face as he looks at his 196-centimeter Russian father, then his 186-centimeter Japanese mother. Looks like you might have a shot this time. Determined to be anything but normal, he looks at his naturally right-handed self and his left hand, which can write with ease, and lets out a villainous laugh. Ever seen a two-handed outside hitter? (Demonic whisper) There's one thing he knows: he heard his nephew say that Itachiyama is the major villain team in the early part of Haikyuu!!, the kind with overwhelming strength. Amamiya Narukami, who is determined to be the best his whole life, decides to make it on his own in Tokyo. Heh, nobody can stop him from becoming a villain. In middle school, he meets one reliable peer and one unreliable one: a kind-hearted setter and a not-so-bright owl. Amamiya Narukami decides he can put up with it all. After finally making it through to high school, he reaches his second year and becomes the ace wearing number 4. The unreliable senior is still unreliable, and the reliable peer is still reliable. As for the juniors... a few faces are familiar: a strange, cheerful, freckle-browed Shiba Inu, and Sakusa Kiyoomi, a black-haired, black-eyed player who wears a mask. He's supposedly hard to get along with and has a cleanliness obsession? Amamiya Narukami thinks that anyone who likes to keep clean can't be a bad person. Besides, they met back in middle school. After getting to know him, Amamiya Narukami completely overturns his image of Sakusa Kiyoomi. Isn't he just a polite, fastidious, reserved little kitty?! How can I adopt him? Would he hit me if I ruffled my junior's hair? Alternative Blurb Middle school: Extra A: "That number four from Ushimitsu has such a scary serve. Is he trying to break someone's arm?" Extra B: "Am I the only one who thinks he's handsome? Those ice-blue eyes..." High school: Commentator: "Serving now is Itachiyama's number four, Amamiya Narukami. One of the nation's three top outside hitters, Narukami is in great form today." The volleyball, trailing a wave of air, slams into the floor and bounces up to the second floor, rattling the metal railing and even frightening the opposing team's cheer squad. Audience: "Eek! How scary! Mom, help! The other side's going to eat us!" Itachiyama in the eyes of outsiders: Powerful hitters, expressionless players, a captain with an eight-meter aura, a rigorous and serious attitude toward competition, the bearing of champions. Itachiyama in reality: A showboating middle blocker, an outside hitter who never stops making dirty jokes, a third-year libero who throws punches at the drop of a hat, a libero who joined halfway through and carries a sword, an ace with a little cleanliness obsession, and a poker-faced but direct, powerful outside hitter. Komori Motoya: "Amamiya-senpai is great, isn't he? What's wrong with him?" Iizuna Tsukasa: "A reliable peer. The ideal hitter for any setter." Sks: "A really great senior. Very considerate, clean (satisfied). Once you get to know him, you realize he's very thoughtful." Everyone: Do you all have some kind of filter on? Pairing: Sakusa Kiyoomi. One-on-one, outside hitter. Content warning: There is a secondary pairing, BokuAka. If that's not your thing, feel free to click away. Theme: Hard work is the purest quality
