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

Hearing his name called, a man in his middle age turned around, just to see his old friend waving at him. "So, you came, huh, Akira?"

"Yes." Akira nodded with a smile on his face. "Please, take care of us."

"Me too." The man named Kimura also nodded. Then, his eyes turned to Akira's back to see a bunch of students following his friend. "So, those are your boys? They look rather displeased."

Akira could only sigh helplessly when he saw his players had some sort of sour expression on their faces. He could still remember the conversation he had with them yesterday after the talk about the team's future; when he announced their training agenda in the golden week.

"Starting from tomorrow, we will have a training camp for one week," Akira spoke.

"Oh!" Excitement rose immediately. "Training camp? Where?" Ogawa asked.

Training Camp Starts!
