Coming soon: I Just Want to Study Hard, but I'm the Volleyball Club's Animal Trainer

I started this story because I wanted to write about the everyday lives of the Haikyuu!! cast, with a little bit of competition. I hope they can be happy wherever they are!

Synopsis:

When bankrupt heiress Hanayama-in Chika is about to give up her youth and enter an arranged marriage, fate knocks at her door.

Kuroo Tetsuro makes her realize that if she wants to change her circumstances, she'll have to take responsibility herself. Though he's been hurt, he's the kind of person who holds up an umbrella to shield others.

Kozume Kenma makes her feel that life is a wilderness, so why hold yourself back instead of living freely? He sees the world as a game and knows how to take charge of his own life.

Chika will probably never be as warm toward others or as free and unrestrained as they are. But that's all right. She has her own colors.

From then on, at the starting point of her new life, she finds a guiding light for her soul.

Love isn't the only kind of feeling. Friendship can last forever.

Here is Sakura, who wants to fall in love but won't give up on her dreams for the future.

Here is Yoshida, who wants friends and understands that friendship can't be built on compromise.

Here is Atobe, who will make a glorious exit even when defeat is certain, because true nobility comes from within.

Here is Akashi, who won't accept defeat and has no doubts about his belief that hesitation means defeat.

At the supermarket, she meets Sakusa, whose cleanliness obsession is so severe that he nevertheless puts up with dirt and sweat for the sake of volleyball.

At an open-air court, she sees Oikawa, a remarkable player who has gone unnoticed for years and practices alone by the roadside.

By the roadside, she meets Hinata, a tiny boy who dreams of being an ace and standing on the world stage.

Among all those who set out on the path of volleyball for their dreams and aspirations, some are geniuses, some are talented, and some are ordinary. Some draw everyone's attention, while others go unnoticed or are underestimated...

But they can probably say that their youth was not lived in vain.

Hanayama-in Chika, when you leave, will you have become the person you dreamed of being?

In truth, this is a sweet, chaotic slice-of-life story.

One-on-one ending.

After this story ends, I'll start the advance release, I Just Want to Study Hard, but I'm the Volleyball Club's Animal Trainer.

Yuzuki Kika spent six years in the womb before realizing she'd transmigrated into a two-dimensional world.

So, through cheerful persistence and plenty of pleading, she became childhood friends with her neighbor Kozume Kenma, who was the same age as her. She planned to have the great [Kudzuken] sponsor her trip around the world once they were adults!

Don't worry, [Kudzuken]. I'll definitely become an interesting person. You'll get photos of my two-dimensional adventures from all over the world, along with my bank account details.

As Yuzuki Kika happily dreamed about the future, she tried to memorize a map of the world and locate the gathering places of two-dimensional characters. No, better start by memorizing a map of Japan.

However, when she was seven and lounging on the floor in the summer with her two childhood friends, Kenma suddenly turned into a calico cat and could only meow, opening the door to a whole new world for Yuzuki Kika.

When Yuzuki Kika anxiously carried Kenma to her mother, she learned that everyone in this world had beastfolk genes, which grew alongside their talents. The more important a person's talent, the earlier in life beastfolk traits awakened. The greater their potential, the more fully their beastly features developed.

Many people didn't develop signs such as animal ears or fur until they were old and frail.

At the same time, only one person in ten thousand was born human, their genes having mutated until they had no beast genes at all. Such people were born with powerful mental energy and a special scent. Ordinary beastfolk who stayed near them would have their talents drawn out and their bodies strengthened.

Such people were known as [Animal Trainers].

I've also started an episodic story, Ten Thousand Superpowers. This two-dimensional romance will be updated whenever inspiration strikes. Updates are irregular, and it's free.

Theme: Youth rushes toward us, and we're caught unprepared.
