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?

Haruo scowled a little as he saw the ball bounce back to Konan's side. Honestly, if possible, he wanted the first play where he acted as the commander from the back to be successful. That would be able to boost the team's morale and show them that his decision to stay on the back was not a mistake. However, there was no way in hell Konan High would allow him to do that so easily.


'I need to get ready! The second attack is coming!' Haruo could feel his body tense for a moment as he watched the ball flying back to Sawada. He racked his brain, using his wide court vision to read where the ball would go before telling his senpai to move. Unfortunately, this time, when he saw the deliberate dump move from afar, Haruo was one second too late to inform his captain.
