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

'What is this?' Akira furrowed his brows deeply. 'Are they planning for something?'

Even though his team took a quick two-point lead, he still felt uneasy. This was just like the situation against Shimoyawata when they took a quick lead, just for them to put Ezaki on the court to mess with them. What he was most afraid of right now was for Kyoei to have someone like Ezaki who could change the entire game by himself.

However, when he looked at all the bench players started warming up, he suddenly let out a relieved sigh, knowing the situation was far from his fear.

The other Tsunemori players who also saw that also realized something, feeling déjà vu by the sight of Kyoei's bench. They tried to remember when was the last time they felt the same, and when they all turned their attention to Kyoei players whose expressions turned serious, they finally got it.

'So, this is like when we played against Matsukita, huh?'

Getting Targeted!
