Summary
As the son of retired Japanese national team ace Shishitani Kei, Shishitani Gaku was the ace of his middle school club team, but he wondered if he was suited to be an attacker. One day, Kei came to watch Gaku practice and met Noboru, who had exceptional talent as an attacker, and declared that he would make him the best volleyball player in Japan. The father-son relationship ended. Gaku vowed to prove his own limits as an attacker and beat his father and Noboru with the volleyball style he had pioneered.
















... and the second season of the Anime did a better job of pacing than I thought they would. I think they moved the Elf village arc from before hostilities with the Principality began to the inter-war period, aka the start of the second season, and used that to pad it out. Good call if that's what they did. In any event. Good season.
