Summary
It starts, as some things do, with seeing Bokuto-san play volleyball.
I’d played volleyball for a long while before, of course. But there was one year when, in my final year of junior high, I’d seen Bokuto-san play for Fukurodani. It was the first time I’d thought about who I wanted to play for when I was in high school.
Of course, this is not as important to me now, as it once was in high school. But this story is still important.
We were young, yes. We made our mistakes. We don’t have everything figured out, not quite. Some of us are Olympic players. Others are authors renting a one-bedroom apartment and downing canned coffee after canned coffee to meet deadlines.
But we have time.

OR: Eight years later, Akaashi Keiji tries to tell the stories of his volleyball team in a personal memoir: as told through unfinished drafts, a great deal of caffeine, and the heart and soul of storytelling.
