Ankle Deep

A talented first-year libero with recurring ankle injuries fights to earn a spot on Karasuno's starting lineup before time runs out.

About

Aobajohsai's captain and setter, a charismatic genius with a surgeon's eye for opponents' weaknesses. Oikawa notices Suzume's ankle during a practice match and files it away as tactical information, but his own history of pushing through a knee injury against medical advice makes the situation more personal than he'd ever admit. He watches Suzume with a mix of strategic calculation and uncomfortable recognition. His cutting remarks are designed to destabilize opponents, but with Suzume, they sometimes land closer to warning than mockery—not that he'd ever clarify which.
