On the morning of the Spring High preliminaries, Oikawa Tooru is full of fighting spirit, hoping to end his middle school years with a victory.
That same morning, he witnesses his childhood friend suddenly fall gravely ill.
For each of the next four years, he writes down the little details of his life in letters, hoping Iwaizumi Hajime can feel at ease, even from far away.
The second button on their chests binds them together.
Another summer comes, and the two friends reunite after a long separation.
*Warning: Iwaizumi is seriously ill, but the story has a happy ending.
***Warning! The final chapter (Chapter 6) contains a side story! The side story has a bad ending! If you don't want to read a bad ending, skip the final chapter, sweeties!!
Theme: Perseverance
I really like the sentence "Obviously things have changed and people have changed, but time has stayed here for four years." The two ends of these four years are teenagers and adults. The young man's emotions have always been direct. They were close friends, tacit partners, solid and reliable teammates, and something less direct that gradually grew up outside of it. They were interrupted by a sudden illness, and the people who thought they would always be by their side took a different path and became adults who can hide themselves. Writing letters is a great way to keep in touch. Compared with phone calls that are instant but difficult to conceal emotions, and electronic messages that allow you to think for a while before sending, a letter always takes a few twists and turns when you write it, and then after a long wait, you bring your thoughts to the other person. I also like the fact that Oikawa Toru was not having a good time in Argentina but tried his best to hide it because he didn't want to worry the other person, while Iwaizumi actually knew about it for a long time but also chose to hide it. There are barriers caused by time and distance, as well as the undying love from childhood. The flight that was delayed due to rain finally made the two of them face their true selves again. Although they have become adults who even cry when the rain falls, fortunately, they finally embraced each other and said everything they wanted to say four years ago. Although I don't know much about sports, the description of the event in the first chapter is very vivid and seems to be very live. I am very happy to read this article. 😚
