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

<p>"The game seems to turn out to be more chaotic than we are expecting, huh?" A middle-aged guy who was blending with the crowd leaned his body back against the seat as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "But I have to give a hat-off to your boy, Hasebe-san. He knows how to handle the crowd and his serve is as good as you have talked about. He would be a good addition to the team."</p>

<p>The man called Hasebe nodded in agreement as he said, "Kobayashi-kun has already proved that he is a capable player. The only thing left untested is his adaptability when playing at a higher level, something Tsunemori High or even Tokyo Thunder U-19 couldn't provide for him. It is a pity since he would never consider moving to a better team."</p>
