What do you see? If the answer involves girls in bikinis playing beach volleyball, then you would be 100% correct. Look at the key visual, read the premise, and check out those preview promotional material. ItвЂ™s easy to dismiss a show like Harukana Receive at first glance. Now, with the Junior Tournament just weeks away, Haruka must learn the intricacies of competitive beach volleyball and help Kanata overcome her crippling anxiety towards the sport that she once used to love. Kanata and Narumi used to be an exceptionally talented beach volleyball duo, until Kanata quit due to her short height causing problems for Narumi. This friendly practice game suddenly turns into a match when one of the girls, Narumi Tooi, notices Kanata approaching the court.ДЄlthough the two suffer a devastating defeat, Haruka finally realizes the reason for her cousinвЂ™s quiet and distant behavior. While touring a nearby beach, Haruka stumbles upon some girls practicing beach volleyball and is quickly invited to join. At least, that is what Haruka Oozora learns on her first day in Okinawa after moving in with her grandmother and her cousin Kanata Higa. To achieve victory, each player must find their one, irreplaceable partner that they can rely on in the court of sand.
