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

"Damn, since when did you turn into Hulk, Tondo?!"

"It seems all the time you spend in the gym is not wasteful."

"Hey, be more respectful here! Don't just pinch my bicep like that, you perv! Don't you know how hard it is to build this?!"

The atmosphere on the Thunder's side melted immediately by the laughter from several players as they teased Tondo mercilessly. Tondo himself also looked far more relaxed than before. After all, this was his best moment after playing terribly in the first set.

Honestly, this was the kind of situation Kawaki hoped Uehara would get. After a difficult game, it only took one brilliant play to ease the tension, and after that, everything would be easier for the player. However, no one complained that it was Tondo who got this moment.

Tondo in Action!
