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

After the opening speech was over, the camp was finally started. For convenience, Chikako and her staff decided to separate the participants into five groups, which coincidentally enough put three people in each group. It was a no-brainer for Yuki, Kato, and Amagi to form a group immediately.

Seeing the excited participants, Amagi couldn't help but let out a sigh. "Man, it is good the camp is lively."

This perked Yuki's attention. "What do you mean, Amagi-san?"

"Well, my mom started the camp just two years ago, and at that time, the number of participants there was just five. It was quite depressing, you know?"

"Really?!" Kato chimed in with eyes widened in surprise. "How come?" In her mind, even though she had only been there for about one hour, the opening speech alone was enough to convince the girl that the camp would be awesome. It was hard for her to think that this kind of camp wouldn't be popular.
