Goodreads Synopsis:
Shoyo Hinata is out to prove that in volleyball you don't need to be tall to fly!
Ever since he saw the legendary player known as "the Little Giant" compete at the national volleyball finals, Shoyo Hinata has been aiming to be the best volleyball player ever! Who says you need to be tall to play volleyball when you can jump higher than anyone else?
The fifth set of the Miyagi Prefecture qualifier round finals continues. With Tsukishima out of the game, Karasuno's defense is starting to fall apart. However, they're determined to keep it together. With both teams physically and mentally exhausted, which one will keep it together the longest and move on to Nationals?

Review:
So this game is rounding ever
closer to the end, the points are raking up, and each time is giving
each other a fight. It's nearing the end when Tsukkishima finally
gets released to rejoin them, and both teams have used all the
time-outs they have. The specific rivalries are heating up—Tsukki
wants to beat Ushijima as much as Shoyo does. Aside from that, each
character is trying to prove a point. Karasuno wants to prove that
they deserve to be there.
During this, there's the reminder of Aoba Josai's captain watching,
waiting to see who will win this one. An interesting point is when we
see Shiratorizawa's coach watching Shoyo, and his background that is
a direct contrast to Shoyo. He was a short volleyball player who
didn't get to shine, and he is practically determined to stick with
those old prejudices. Shoyo is very directly fighting that.
I will admit that I expected this to turn out differently. I didn't
think they would go this far this fast. (I guess it has been over 20
books? Is that not fast?) But at the end of the volume, we get a hint
to the Tokyo team's starting round. And it, sadly, looks like we'll
get to see whether Fukurodani or Nekoma move forward.
I don't know how I still have things to talk about every volume, but
still all I want to do is gush. I love it so much. I wanted to cheer
with them at several points in this book.
