The central duo under discussion is none other than Kageyama and Hinata, as depicted in the first volume. Hinata musters up the courage to confess his feelings to Kageyama, but is met with rejection. As he gradually comprehends the underlying reason for Kageyama's response, he hastily retracts his confession so as to spare Kageyama any hurt. As a result, both individuals find themselves embroiled in a labyrinthine network of falsehoods and self-deception. In the second volume, Kageyama takes stock of the burden he has unwittingly placed on Hinata and consults a former senior on the question of whether volleyball necessitates romance. This chronicle is reproduced in the following volume.
