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

Two days passed quickly, and it was finally the game day again for Tsunemori. Most of the Tsunemori players were still half-alive when they reached the Edogawa Station, considering it was still 6 in the morning. Hell, the station itself was still pretty empty, which showed how early they were right now, especially considering how busy the train station was even in the early morning or late night.

Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do. It took about one hour and a half to reach the Setagaya Station, and from there, they had to walk for at least twenty minutes before they arrived at the school. Added to the fact that the game itself started at 9 in the morning, they had to start their journey early, and that also meant they had to wake up early for that day.

"Man, a time like this makes me envy those rich schools who have their own private transportation," Riku said, yawning.
