The Art of Sport
The Namimori Namazu
"No you dont!" Miwa grunted after getting a sloppy forearm under the ball to keep it in play "OOSH!" Can be heard from Hideki as his low squat causes him to fall on his behind but recover the lackluster ball to a brilliant set. "NICE BALL!" roars Jun as he near pierces the ball with his adrenaline soaked palm.
Kyoto Industrial
Open Mei thought, his dash towards the vacant spot was quickly offset as his younger brother, Shuichi kept them alive. The ball bounced off his platform like he was made of rubber, gliding towards the favourites to win Namimori, causing presumed impending doom on Kyotos finest.
The Namimori Namazu
Perhaps it was the 32 - 31 points this round, the weight of nationals, the responsibility. Tetsus legs were shaking the stern captain never showed fear, a save an up any type of clearance would be fine. With the flow and momentum of the game slowed his senses were out of whack what was this pathetic ball at a time like this they sent-... A soft thud couldn't be picked up from the ringing in Tetsus ears the ball had whiffed through his hands and fumbled onto his collarbone before letting the teams hopes whimper on the solid court.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to show interest in HTAC. Let me explain how this will differentiate from the Anime.
This will be an original story, what actually derives from the haikyuu plot (Other than the literal sport lol) is depth. For those familiar with the show I'm sure emotion or passion has reached in some shape or form, I hope at least. This is why I propose a very specific and interesting RP dynamic, obviously the game is very fast paced therefore I would require each player taking up to 1 - 2 members of the main team. What I hope others find interesting however is that I want each player to make an opposing team, or we can work with each other to make opposing teams. This is all to create the same suspense and character depth to what are generally NPCS. I can imagine myself getting attached to a round 2 regionals team that we as creators all delivered a slice of flavour, or a creation of our own we could be proud in.
Our main team will be The Namimori Namazu (Catfish). A team famed for its usual high placement, however The Namazu have never succeeded winning the nationals since it was founded in 1954. The bad luck streak continued as the high prospects and talent in last years team ultimately dropped the ball. With a team of primarily 3rd years the namazu have to recruit a new team to bring glory to the school and hold their heads high as dangerous competitors.
I would love to focus on games/matches, character progression and relationships amongst the team. Interpersonal quarrels, the good the bad and the ugly. I want to see everyone have a good time with this and communicate with each other so we can make hopefully a homage to a beloved series.
I will release a character sheet and discord very soon once others become interested, Pm me for any details. Please let me know know here if you'd like to get involved. This is absolutely a project I want any feedback on.
