Neri spent three years on the bench watching better players live out the dream she had already tasted. High school is her last real chance to take it back, and the show understands that the weight of that second chance is heavier than any trophy. A single OVA that turns the familiar sports comeback story into something about reclaiming a version of yourself you thought was already gone.
Neri Ooishi is a gifted high school volleyball player. In elementary school she captained a team that reached the national tournament, but she then spent three years as an alternate at a junior high famous for its volleyball program. Now in high school with new teammates, she has a fresh opportunity to show what she can do. This one-episode sports drama OVA adapts Youko Nihonbashi's Shoujo Fight manga, with Nihonbashi writing the script and Production I.G handling the animation. The DVD came bundled with a special edition of the sixth manga volume.
