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

"Kai-senpai, you alright?" Yuki who was the closest to Kaede asked, worried.

"Y-Yes, don't worry, Yuki. Everything is under control." The defensive specialist smiled weakly.

If anything, though, this only made Yuki and the others worried more. After all, Kaede was not like Koji who got flustered easily. So, his stuttering like this was definitely not a good sign for the team.

"Oi, Kai, you know you don't need to put up a strong face in front of us, right?" Asahi frowned. "We know you are not good in a hostile atmosphere like this, so it is okay to retreat first and adjust yourself from the bench." The others also nodded in agreement. However, the defensive specialist just shook his head, rejecting the idea.

"No, no, I cannot do that. Sensei is right, I need to adapt on the court, not on the bench. Those two are a completely different matter."

A High Tension Game!
