Summary
New beginnings come only at the cost of other endings. The two cannot survive together. It is not a symbiotic relationship; it is a mutually destructive one.
On the cusp of achieving all of his dreams, professional volleyball player and one time Olympic medalist Ushijima Wakatoshi goes down. One wrong landing, one torn ACL.
In the blink of an eye, his future collapses. His volleyball career ends.
His coach tells him: it’s all over.
His father tells him: Nothing is meant to last forever. Once you learn to let one door close, another will open.
Now Ushijima, aged 24, has to somehow learn how to begin again. He doesn’t know where to start, or if he even wants to. That's where Tendou Satori comes in.

Summary
"His teammates would never look at him like Karasuno’s team looked at Suga. He knew that. And it was fine. As long as he was able to block the way he wanted, score points, it shouldn’t matter. It didn’t matter.
But if that was true, why did looking at Suga make Tendou want to slap the smile right off his face?"
Tendou never expected the innocent-looking backup setter from Karasuno to be so incredibly frustrating. So when they meet again years later in a bar, he can't help but want to fuck with him. And Suga is quick to prove he is just as masterful at manipulation as Tendou is. The thrill of being equally matched is just as intoxicating as it is infuriating, bringing out the best and the worst in each other. But just how much can you sink your teeth in before it leaves a mark?
