But what if a childhood friend you hadn't seen in years appeared as if out of nowhere? After her parents divorced, Tachibana Yukito returned to her mother's hometown in Miyagi Prefecture after eight years away, and reunited with her childhood playmate. The good news was that the boy next door, who had played volleyball with her when they were kids, had become the undisputed king of the volleyball club: a handsome, six-foot-two powerhouse. And Tachibana Yukito had the double advantage of being both a childhood friend and someone who had suddenly reappeared in his life. The bad news was that this natural airhead knew nothing but volleyball. He was Shiratorizawa's undisputed ace, and he even read the ads in Weekly Shonen Jump. A universally known unrequited crush and a reverse pursuit that amounted to breaking and entering began But natural airheads were the kryptonite of schemers, and the romance-theory expert rabbit was thoroughly defeated by the airheaded volleyball idiot Ushijima. After Tachibana Yukito's many-layered schemes all fell flat: Tachibana: I give up! I'm never chasing you again! Ushijima: Are you chasing me? Tachibana: What else would I be doing? Ushijima: Why? Tachibana: Because I like you, you idiot! Ushijima: But haven't we been together for ages? Tachibana: Huh? Wha, wait, what are you talking about? Everyone at Shiratorizawa: Congratulations to this couple of old flames. [Reading Guide] 1. Romance-focused, ensemble sports competition, and Tachibana's growth arc. A mixed-breed beagle-rabbit who's a little pitiful early on but turns ferocious later. 2. Lots of original headcanons. Pouring my heart into cooking for a small, niche pairing in a blazing-hot fandom. 3. Both characters are beloved by everyone. Besides the mutual feelings between Tachibana and Ushijima, there are also some confusing (?) one-sided crushes, open to interpretation (?). Enjoy! ദ്ദിᵔ.˛.ᵔ₎✧ Theme: Keep flying until the sky turns blue.
