『 Foreign Kisses 』Haikyuu X OC

When talent hits a wall, sometimes you have to cross the world to climb it.

Ayana Maekara had the passion. She had the drive. But back in the States, her volleyball skills had started to plateau-and she was tired of feeling like her own biggest obstacle. So she takes a leap. Across the ocean. Across expectations. All the way to Japan.

Transferring into a high school known for its elite athletes, Ayana finds herself training with a boys' team that doesn't know what to make of her-or the fire she brings to the court. It's risky, a little chaotic, and absolutely not what her old coach would have recommended.

But growth rarely comes from comfort.

Between brutal drills, buried rivalries, and late-night vending machine wars, Ayana pushes herself harder than ever before. She's learning new skills, forming unexpected friendships, and discovering that sometimes the most intense battles aren't the ones on the court.

Because strength isn't just measured by how hard you hit a ball.
Sometimes it's about how hard you're willing to be seen.

And being seen? That's complicated-especially when it comes to teammates who challenge her limits, call her out, or quietly catch her when she falls. Ayana didn't come to Japan looking for anything more than a fresh start. But somewhere between flirtatious rivals, continuous competition, and sticky situations-she might just find something she never expected:

A place to belong.
A reason to stay.
And a love story worth fighting for.
