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

"Come on, everyone! Wake up!" Even half asleep, Yuki could hear someone shout from the door. "Your breakfast is ready! Wash your face and change your clothes and meet us in the multimedia room!"

Groans could be heard from all over the dorm as all the participants there would rather sleep than have breakfast, and that also included Yuki. This was understandable, considering they were up until the sun rose pretty high, enjoying the beautiful scenery from the top of the hill. Still, they had to face the consequences now, which included them having to start the day barely conscious.

Fortunately, this was already within the camp's prediction. They didn't even start the breakfast until 11, which was already late for the breakfast, yet perfect for a bunch of teenagers who stayed up late. After Yuki and the others took all their winter attires and changed back into their usual summer ones, they went to the multimedia room just to be greeted by the rich smell of katsudon.
