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

Yuki was taken aback when he saw the ball suddenly zoomed into his direction. He didn't know whether Nitta did it deliberately or not, but Yuki didn't expect Kyoei to target him from the first attack. Still, he didn't lose his focus, keeping his eyes on the ball while glancing at Riku's position in the front. What he didn't expect though, was for the ball to suddenly drop drastically before it could cross the net.

Instead of crossing to the other side of the court successfully, the ball hit the net, making Kyoei's players on the front-line wince unconsciously when they realized a powerful spike flew past their faces a second ago. The silence befell the court was finally broken by the cheers exploding from the crowds.

"Come on! We got the first point!"

"Come on, everyone! Don't give them any chance to score!"

A Quick Lead!
