Kozue Ayuhara

Ayuhara is a second year who moved away from Tokyo to a rural junior high school to rehabilitate an illness (which makes her quit sports). After a run-in with other students in the school, she returns to sports (Volleyball), and quickly becomes the leader of the team. Kozue initially begins associating with a group of "delinquents" in the school. The volleyball team members dislike this, and Kozue makes her own team and challenges the real volleyball team to her own. By a slim margin, Kozue's team wins, allowing some of the "delinquent" girls to integrate into the volleyball club, expanding it. From then on, Kozue becomes the captain of Fujimi Middle School's volleyball team.
