[Haikyuu!!] Is Kuroo's Little Sister Finally Breaking the Cycle of Love?

My name is Amamiya Sakura, and I'm Kuroo Tetsurou's cousin.

The night before my parents passed away from a serious illness, they entrusted me to my cousin Kuroo, who lived in Tokyo.

He was so good to me. He never complained about me being forced into his family, and he gave me all the love I could ask for.

Even Kenma, the boy next door who had been friends with my cousin since they were little, treated me with such care.

But after I started middle school at Nekoma, that affection began to feel a little different.

My two older brothers were starting players on Nekoma's boys' volleyball team.

I loved watching them fight their hardest on the court.

But for some reason, whenever I went to the gym to see them, lots of eyes would turn my way. And every time I politely nodded and greeted those people, my two brothers would furrow their brows and tell me to hide behind them.

I didn't understand why I had to do that, but I knew my brothers were good to me and would never hurt me, so I always did as I was told.

But the more I did, the bolder the gazes fixed on me in the gym seemed to become.

Watching the countless athletes trying to get close to Sakura, Kuroo made no effort to hide his look of disgust.

He nudged his sweet, well-behaved little sister toward Kenma.

"Kenma, I'm leaving my sister with you."

The pudding-haired boy, who was busy playing a game, gave a distracted "Mm." His fingers flew over the controls, and he quickly finished off the boss with a sliver of health left.

The pudding-headed kitty lifted his eyes and beckoned to the little Sakura standing in front of him.

The girl obediently went over to him. He led her to a corner of the gym and placed the game console in her hands.

Kuroo's tall frame blocked the swarm of suitors. He rolled his eyes, thinking for what had to be the thousandth time: Damn it, I wish all athletes were gay!

Give it up already. You have no chance with little Sakura!

What is this "boyfriend-a-day plan" nonsense? No way am I letting you steal my sister right under my nose!

Amamiya Sakura was well protected by her two older brothers, until one day, when her black-cat brother and pudding-headed brother were called away by Coach Nekomata, leaving her alone in the gym.

The girl was used to people staring at her, but as soon as her brothers left, those gazes no longer stopped at staring.

They came over to her.

The boys were blushing. Some tried to act calm, some were shy and reserved, and others tried to look cool and handsome...

One after another, they hurried over to her.

With clumsy excuses and hopeful eyes, they asked her out for the weekend.

Amamiya Sakura blinked in confusion. Her beautiful, captivating face made the boys' hearts race.

They waited nervously for her answer.

A few seconds later, the girl nodded, as if agreeing to their request.

The boys were over the moon. The next moment, they started throwing punches to fight over who would get the first date with Amamiya Sakura.

The gym manager cried out in despair: "Hey! This is not a place to fight!"

Reader's Guide

1. The heroine is incredibly beautiful, a cool beauty with a world-weary expression. She's a little airheaded, which is the complete opposite of her looks.

2. Everyone except Kuroo and Kenma is romantically interested in the heroine. Kuroo and Kenma are both her overprotective big brothers, doing everything they can to look after her.

[Major Warning! Kuroo and Kenma are a couple! They're true love! It won't be described much, but I wanted to make this clear in case anyone might be bothered by it.]
