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

"So, he develops his game-reading ability and defensive versatility to this extent, huh? Not bad…" Hasebe murmured on his seat, scribbling something in his small notebook.

The assistant who overheard his words couldn't help but ask, "Do you know about him?"

"Oh, yeah, he was one of the biggest rising stars two years ago. I even invited him to my own camp to see his playing style from a close distance." Hasebe laughed as he admitted it. The assistant tilted his head curiously, wanting to know what was so funny about it. "Oh, sorry, sorry. It is just… You will never believe what kind of player he was at that time compared to how he plays today."
