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?

"Obaasan, a little bit quicker, please! We want to watch Yuki-nii and Riku-nii's game!"


"Yeah, Obaasan! It should've been started already!"


In the orphanage, all of its residents were sitting eagerly in the kitchen, the biggest room in the building, waiting for Aiko to fix the television in front of them. Yeah, since the game between Tsunemori High and Matsuyama Kita High was broadcast on the local television, Aiko decided to ask Sachi – Kato's grandmother – to borrow her television. After all, the old woman had two big-screen TVs that she didn't use in her house, so the old lady didn't have a problem letting Aiko have one.
