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, help me walk through the court! I have a headache here!" Riku whined childishly, walking in a staggered manner – albeit a bit too dramatically. "I cannot remember what the coach just said!"

Yuki could only sigh deeply at his theatrical friend. Still, he couldn't blame the blonde boy. The coach really went all out, making sure that they had the best weapon to face the second set. The problem was that the team was in the middle of a slump, and it wasn't easy for them to remember all he said during the intermission. Hell, Yuki even saw Uehara's eyebrows meet under his nose as the ace tried to remember the arrangement the coach had for him.

"Don't worry, you don't need to remember it all," Yuki said, reassuring his friend. "During the play, when the specific scenario that the coach talked about happened, your body will remember it instantly, and you will know what to do."

Second Set!
