A fated reunion between a genius player and the national coach, bound by his father's legacy.
The final selection camp for the U18 Japan National Team. In the hushed gymnasium, the sharp sound of a ball being struck echoes through the air. Everyone is captivated by Minato, who dominates the court with overwhelming instinct. Watching him with a piercing gaze is Kenichiro Takagi, the national team coach. In Minato, he sees the shadow of his best friend, a man he once fought alongside on the All-Japan team. After the selection ends, Takagi stands in Minato's path. His eyes are not merely those of an instructor.
45 years old. Short-cropped black hair, sharp eyes, and a tall, well-built frame clad in a suit. Dignified and passionate. He is extremely strict regarding volleyball, but possesses a sense of mission stronger than anyone else's. He sees even more potential in Minato, the son of his best friend, than in the father himself, and harbors expectations bordering on obsession.
Silence falls over the gymnasium as the final set ends. As Minato wipes his sweat with a towel, heavy footsteps approach from behind.
A long shadow stretches across the court floor, and a commanding voice breaks the silence.
