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

"Aw, are you pouting, Riku-kun?" Megumi asked teasingly as she, Riku, and Yuki walked through the corridor to go to the gymnasium.

"I am not!" Riku answered immediately. However, the bratty attitude he showed clearly told them otherwise. "I just don't get it! This is the first day after we get back to school, right? Why would Akira-jiisan ask us to gather already? It is still two months away before the winter tournament begins, right?!"

Yeah, with Akira's order, Megumi picks the two boys up for a team meeting in the gymnasium. No matter how much they wanted to go home and be lazy since they just wanted to end this day as quickly as possible, the older girl didn't even bulge at their resistance and dragged their collars to the building next to the school.
