    Summary

    Tobio runs by himself every day. Even though he can't shake off that awful feeling that something's closing in on him, he still does it. It's habit now.

    Summary

    All Oikawa has ever wanted is to be one of Tokyo's top heroes. Unfortunately, he's always been at a disadvantage. He isn't super strong or super fast, he can't fly, and he doesn't have flashy, crowd-pleasing powers like some of his peers. Still, he does the best he can with what he has, and he thinks he's doing just fine.

    His agent disagrees.

    Oikawa gets roped into a working contract with one of the top five heroes in Tokyo; which, in theory, would be a good way for him to gain popularity.

    The problem is the hero he gets stuck with; Valor, aka Ushijima Wakatoshi.

    Oikawa already dislikes him on general principle, and meeting him only makes things worse. Oikawa wants nothing more than to work his way through this new contract and get on with his life. He doesn't need Ushijima, of all people, to help him climb the hero ranks. He can do just fine on his own.

    Except, as their contract wears on, Oikawa begins to realize that becoming popular isn't what matters most. It isn't about fame, and it isn't about gaining fans. Hero work is about something much more important, and as he spends more time with Ushijima, he learns what being a hero is truly about.

    Summary

    The last place on earth Sakusa Kiyoomi wants to be is on this godforsaken ship sailing across the seas to attend a boring science lecture, but it is a necessary evil if he wishes to avoid attending his grandmother's birthday celebrations.

    That is, until his ship is boarded by a band of pirates and Kiyoomi finds himself in extremely unwanted company.

    He can cope with most of the rambunctious crew; though they're armed to the hilt, they're relatively harmless.

    He cannot, however, cope with human hurricane Miya Atsumu.
