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?

"Yes! He was the team's rising star two years ago! Now, he is back!"


"Hey, isn't he the one who knocked his opponent out with a punch that resulted in the team getting punished one year without any official tournament?"


"Eh, who cares?! Now, he is back and fighting together with the team! Come on, Ezaki! Don't disappoint us!"


Unlike the game between Tsunemori High and Kikugawa High where most of the spectators came from the school's students, this time, Shimo High and Shirayuki High didn't accommodate their students to come, so most of the audiences here were those who were volleyball fans. It was no wonder that they didn't know Ezaki had already been playing with the team again since last summer.
