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

Unbeknown to all the Tsunemori players, it wasn't Nitta who was the most excited player on the opposite side right now. No, it was Ito, the captain of the team who just executed the attack perfectly who clenched his fist secretly, celebrating his play in silence. He tried his best to look nonchalant, trying to divert the attention to Nitta who was grinning cockily at their opponent.

'Good. Keep irritating them, Nitta, and let me do the rest.' He mused.

Yeah, unlike Nitta who had a loud personality, Ito was quiet by nature. But that didn't mean he wasn't less dangerous. As the second-best hitter on the team, he always managed to take advantage of Nitta's distraction to score and also shared the burden the ace had to bear for the team. Even though their personality clashed, they worked perfectly like a well-oiled machine, complimenting each other like a light and its shadow.

Ito's Resolution!
