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

<p>A round of applause filled the building as the decisive point from Amano killed the game. In the end, Fukushima Phoenix swept Tokyo Thunder 3 – 0 without giving them any chance to fight back. To the Thunder players' frustration, their opponent didn't even celebrate crazily like they usually did, just walking around close to the stand to receive the cheers.</p>

<p>Well, the Phoenix didn't have any good reason to go overboard with their celebration. After all, aside from the time when Yuki was on the service line, the Thunder didn't even put up a good fight today, making it an easy win for them. Moreover, this game was pretty meaningless for the Phoenix. With one game left for the regular season, their position is stuck in the sixth, not being able to move up or go down anymore no matter the outcome of the last game.</p>

The End of the Game
