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

"Riku, watch your teammates first before taking an action! You are not a mind reader, stop doing something that could risk the play!"

"Asahi, don't forget to communicate with Hirano first before moving! You know he is not good in that aspect, right?!"

"Kai, do the drill together with Jimmy! He is good at getting into someone's skin, and you will need it soon."

"Koji, two more laps together with Yuki! After that, go for another spike drill!"

It was a day after they watched the game between Matsukita High and Hibiya High, and after recovering from their shock, they bounced back and were ready for training again. Even though they just realized they were still far behind the second-best team in the country, let alone the best one, they didn't care about it. If anything, since they experienced the defeat against them both, they were pumped up for a revenge match at least against one of them.
