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

Before the last spike…

Yuki panted heavily, trying to recover to his original position as quickly as possible after doing an acrobatic save to keep the ball up in the air. The sweat started to make his sight blurry, and he could even hear the sound of his heart beating. Still, even with all of that holding him back, Yuki still gritted his teeth and got up when he saw the light in Riku's face before his setter was going to pass the ball.

'Damn, Riku! Are you sure you don't want to kill me?!' He grunted. However, the carefree smile he had on his face told everyone the otherwise. Just in this moment, after doing everything to keep the ball fly and was ready to join the attack, Yuki suddenly felt so alive.
