Oppai Volleyball costars Nakamura Toru (K-20) and Aoki Munetaka (Giniro no Season).

Earnest and enthusiastic newbie teacher Mikako (Ayase Haruka) has just started teaching at a junior high school. She volunteers to coach the boys’ volleyball team – only to find the team consists of five nerdy teens with no athletic skills, and their minds in the gutter. To motivate them to practice and participate, Mikako promises to show them her breasts if they win a game!
