Episode 2

Believe in Me (私を信じて) is the first episode of the Harukana Receive anime.

Overview
With one week until their rematch with Narumi and Ayasa, Kanata trains Haruka so that she move around more easily in the sand before ball practice and teaching her the cut shot. On the morning of the match, Haruka comes across Ayasa, who reveals that Kanata was Narumi's former volleyball partner who had a habit of running away from the ball. Feeling happy from overhearing Haruka defend her, Kanata wears her old uniform for the match. After Narumi sees through the girls' cut shot tactic, Haruka encourages Kanata to overcome her fear and receive the ball, catching Narumi off guard and allowing Haruka to win a point. Afterwards, Narumi feels remorse for the way she treated Kanata, while Haruka explains how Narumi's behavior towards Kanata helped her come up with the winning tactic.
