Attack No.1
At the center is Kozue, a high-school student whose enthusiasm for volleyball is matched by a clear ambition: she wants to represent Japan on its national team. Her path begins in school-level competition and leads upward through the Japanese volleyball finals toward an international championship. Each stage raises the stakes as she tries to turn a personal dream into a place on Japan's national team. This is a story about advancement, but also about what that climb demands from her.
As an action sports series, it balances the drive and movement of volleyball with the emotional strain surrounding achievement. Kozue's progress brings more than tougher competition: growing expectations, self-conceit, and envy begin to complicate the success she has worked toward. The appeal lies in that tension between reaching higher and staying grounded. Rather than presenting victory as a simple finish line, the series explores how ambition can complicate an athlete's path.

It belongs to the Action and Sports genres, with a complete long-form progression from school competition to international play.
