Having a Blast Playing Volleyball at Fukurodani

Akiha Aozora earned the title of best setter back in middle school. Despite offers from many prestigious schools, she turned them all down and resolutely chose Fukurodani Academy.

Fukurodani's boys' volleyball team has an impressive record, but the girls' team is thoroughly mediocre. Their best result in recent years was making the top eight in Tokyo, and they haven't even come close to qualifying for a national tournament.

A black-haired girl with a mullet stands at the gates of Fukurodani Academy, smiling as she waves to her senpai. "It's a deal. I get to run the volleyball club however I want."

Akiha Aozora is a setter with a perpetually sociable smile and smiling eyes, a thrill-seeker who loves being in control of everything on the court.

She knows exactly what she wants, and every step she takes is firm. She hates the frustration of things slipping out of her control.

There's no rule saying you can't join two clubs, so Akiha Aozora won't let the people she's got her eye on get away.

Lorelei from the choir: A practice partner for all the sports clubs, she can take down the boys single-handedly. She's a promising spiker.

The drama club's school prince: Naturally tough as nails, he makes up for the volleyball team's lack of height. She'll snag him for the middle-blocker position.

After a series of smooth little tricks, cajoling and tricking people into joining, Akiha Aozora transforms Fukurodani's girls' volleyball team from top to bottom.

On the court, she's the strategist holding the reins of command. Off the court, she's a social butterfly, beloved by everyone.

Akiha Aozora's style of play is just like her name: a blue sky in autumn. Her teammates always feel as if they're surrounded by vast open nature, with gusts of wind carrying them forward.
