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 letting Sumida High do their warmup for about fifteen minutes, the game finally was about to start. Now, all the players from both teams were ready on the court, waiting for the result of the coin toss between the two captains.

For Tsunemori, there was a slight change in their roster. In the back row, Kaede and Yuki were still there, protecting their area tightly. Riku was also on the court as the general who strategized their offense. However, on the front line, Ogawa was replaced by Asahi since the new captain proved to everyone that he deserved his spot. He would be there together with Hirano and Koji as the spear of the team.

That left Ogawa as the bench player, ready to be the super-sub, and Okamura who was waiting for the rotation. Fortunately, they both didn't make a fuss about their lack of playing time, or the team's cohesion would be destroyed once again.
