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

Honestly, this was pretty new here, since it wasn't pretty often for him to get distracted by the kind of negative feeling like this in the middle of the game. However, he felt this was justifiable.

For all of the experiences he built over the volleyball court, Yuki would always find himself as the underdog team. His team would always find a stronger team to face, from Shimoyawata to Konan High, and it was always tough and challenging. However, the last two rounds of this winter tournament were far opposite of that.

First, the team faced Sumida High which in theory should be at the same level as them yet ended up disappointing everyone's expectations here. For them, Yuki still found that it wasn't a bad game, considering how Tachi managed to cause trouble for them here and there. If it wasn't for his teammates who couldn't catch up with him, Yuki was sure Tachi would give them more trouble in the game.
