2011. That was when earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, changing thousands of lives. 

And Kobayashi Yuki is just one of them.

A month ago, he was just a normal boy, graduating from a small middle school in Fukushima and was excited to go to the high school. However, the disaster changed his life. He lost both parents, not because they died, but because they were still missing until now. 

He lost his home. He lost his friends. He lost his school. He lost everything.

Having no choice, he moved to Tokyo, to a small, new orphanage to accommodate victims of the disaster who didn't have any home or wanted to change their lives in the biggest city in Japan. In his mind, all he wanted to do was enter a normal high school, do a part-time job, make some money to help the orphanage, and maybe if he were lucky enough he could be admitted into a good university with a scholarship.

However, one challenge from the volleyball team and one half-Italian blonde boy turned everything upside down. Now, he was trapped inside the crazy team, being dragged into the mess.

Inter-High.

National Tournament.

Volleyball.

Those three words kept spinning around his life as he entered a crazy high school life. Can he strive in the place where he was unfamiliar with? Would he be a good volleyball player? And what does the future hold for him?

The Birth of A Volleyball Legend

<p>As the referee announced the final result, Yuki roared wildly, followed by Riku who jumped in his direction immediately with a similar enthusiasm. Then, they were followed by their teammates who rushed into their direction and hugged them tightly as if what just happened was a dream.</p>

<p>Megumi who was on the sideline could only cover her mouth, her hands trembled a little as she tried her best to hold back her tears. It was an exaggerated reaction, she knew, considering this was just the first round. However, she couldn't help it. Not only because the opponent they had to face was close to the final boss in terms of quality, but also the rough journey they had to take to reach this point.</p>
