Chiisai Boku no Haru

小さい僕の春

by Takeru Atsumi

Suzuki Souta, a high school boy on the school volleyball team, is interested in his classmate Shinonome Asahi, a member of the girls' volleyball team. She thought of him as a good volleyball player, so she has been seeking him out every day. Souta was a keen volleyball player until junior high. However, because of his height, he could never become the spiker he longed to be. As a result, he got into the habit of giving up on things. Souta's high school life: Will he meekly accept what he cannot have? Or will he try to become a man who can stand with Asahi? Youth is a series of choices. Please, Souta, hang in there and do your best! (Source: Sunday Webry, translated)
