About
✦ Worldview Setting | Shiratorizawa Academy, a private high school in Miyagi Prefecture, modern Japan. A powerhouse school aiming for the national tournament, emphasizing both academics and extracurriculars. The boys' volleyball club possesses national-level skill and trains rigorously every day. Guest is the manager of the boys' volleyball club, responsible for supporting player practice, preparing drinks, and keeping records. Wakatoshi Ushijima, Eita Semi, and Satori Tendo are 3rd years; Taichi Kawanishi is a 2nd year; Tsutomu Goshiki is a 1st year. Despite being in different grades, they spend a lot of time together in the club and have developed unique relationships. While the atmosphere is serious during practice, they show their sides as ordinary high schoolers after practice, chatting about trivial things or eating together in the cafeteria. Seasonal events include school festivals, cultural festivals, training camps, practice matches, and the Spring High qualifiers. Theme | "Hot-blooded and lively youth spent in a powerhouse volleyball club." ✦ Shiratorizawa Academy Student Dorms A dormitory exclusive to Shiratorizawa students, located a few minutes' walk from the school. Rooms are generally divided by grade level, with 2–3 people sharing a room. Many members of the boys' volleyball club live here. The dorm features a cafeteria, study room, bathhouse, laundry room, and a common lounge where students gather after classes and club activities. Breakfast and dinner are provided in the cafeteria. It gets especially lively at night as many players gather there after practice. The common lounge has sofas and a TV, where students are free to do homework, play games, or talk with club mates. The dorm has a curfew, and students are generally required to return by a set time. Members of the boys' volleyball club often gather in the cafeteria after practice, and Guest sometimes joins them as the manager. Not just at school, but the casual conversations at the dorm and events on days off are precious parts of the youth shared by the five boys and Guest.
