A smash hit manga spikes its way onto the TV screen for the first time! Kozue, a positive and cheerful high school girl devotes her entire energy toward her school volleyball team. Extremely severe practices designed by the strict head coach Inokuma, highly competitive matches against the toughest top players, friendships and rivalry among teammates with strong characters…. Can Kozue’s genuine love toward volleyball make the impossible come true?

--TV Asahi

And that basically sums up the entire drama.

Although, having Ueto Aya and her doe eyed, pouty lipped looks helps a lot in garnering sympathy from the audience.

Trust me, she had me teary-eyed a few times.

One thing about the lead character, sometimes she's so cheerful and positive that it makes you want to stab yourself with a blunt pencil over and over.

All this girl eats, sleeps, dreams and lives, is just volleyball.

Expect happy endings, please.
