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

Even before he walked through the service line, Yuki could hear the hitched breath taken by the people outside of the court unconsciously, staring at him with nervous gazes. He tried his best to hide the little smirk that formed on his face, knowing that his opponent had this kind of effect on the opponent. Honestly, being treated as a bogeyman like this by the opponent was probably the highest praise he could get as a player.

Still, the sudden silence only lasted for a few seconds, and when he bounced the ball to the floor several times to prepare himself for the serve, a wave of boos and insults could be heard resounding throughout the building, trying to distract him from his task here.

"YES! YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED HERE! GO CRY TO YOUR MOMMY!"

"DON'T THINK WE DON'T KNOW YOU! WE WILL STEAL YOUR SISTER AFTER THIS!"
