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

Akira didn't need to say it twice as all of his players dropped whatever they were doing immediately, rushing toward him in a hurry. They all had curious gazes with most of them tensed unconsciously, staring at him with solemn eyes.

He could sympathize with them. After spending three months training their asses off with so little to rest, the tournament they had been waiting for was finally in front of their eyes. There was no way they wouldn't feel jitter about it. However, that didn't mean that Akira would let them surround him with a body full of sweat like this.

"Go back and change your shirt first! I will borrow one of the classes close to the gym so that we can see it together. You have five minutes, okay?!"

After seeing all of his players scattered to get their shirts changed, Akira turned to Megumi and asked, "Can you help me borrow one of the classes nearby?"

"Sure." The girl nodded before rushing outside.

The Bracket is Here!
