About Harukana Receive

Meet Harukana Receive, a sports and slice of life anime by C2C (2018). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The premise: In beach volleyball, there is no room for aces. To achieve victory, each player needs to find their one, irreplaceable partner that they can rely on in the court of sand.

As things develop, 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. While touring a nearby beach, Haruka stumbles upon some girls practicing beach volleyball and is fast invited to join. This friendly practice game without warning turns into a match when one of the girls, Narumi Tooi, notices Kanata approaching the court.

In a sports series like this, training arcs, rivalry and match tension keep the stakes personal. Think of it as a pick for anyone who likes underdog stories and competition.
