Origin

Bloom Origin
The idea was started by a post on tumblr (from user @confessions-haikyuu) stating that they'd like to design some fan teams for the manga Haikyuu!! (also an anime by the same name). Several people joined in the conversation, providing ideas for play style and what the jerseys would look like, even for team mottos and some players for those teams.

In order to keep from clogging up the entirety of the website with the mass amount of posts that were being created, a group chat was made on discord and the ideas moved to there with only "official" drawings and headcanons being posted to tumblr. Within a month, several teams were created with full rosters into the line up you see here today.

After the main characters were identified and polished, a story was born. It follows its roots of inspiration from Haikyuu!!, laying out the story of a volleyball team who's just not as good as they used to be. Quickly, the story will turn into more than just that, delving into deeper issues that plague more than just the fictional country of Eastern Bourne.

Cory Shires is going to training camp, and nothing will ever be the same.

Summary
Bloom is a webcomic about a 15 year old boy named Cory Shires who joins a volleyball team in the fictional country of Eastern Bourne and through trial and error, making new friends and tying up loose ends with old ones, comes out the other side with a whole new perspective on life, love, and what it means to be happy.

This comic is currently a work in progress.

Other notable stories from the same creators include the Quest AU and the Mafia Au, which features the same characters in entirely different settings.
