Review:
This volume concludes the prelims for the Tokyo teams. Nekoma
finishes their game against Nohebi for the final spot in the
tournament. It's a hard fight, but not terribly surprising which one
wins.
Even though Nohebi are playing dirty, almost cheating to win favor, I
appreciate that they're not looked down on. It would be easy to make
them a villain, a one-dimensional enemy, but they're not. Each person
of the team is fleshed out, and their reasons for playing like they
do are even explained, and defended. Every team has their own way of
playing the game, and they're all of equal value, even if some teams
are better.
In the last chapter, we finally get back to the Karasuno. They're
getting pumped up to go to the tournament, even if they've got a
while before it starts. They get to take new stats, see who jumps how
high right now. I liked the glimpse of the outside supporters—the
businesses outside of the school who are supporting and taking
donations to pay for the trip.
It looks like Kageyama will get to go to some special training camp
next time.
I love this series so completely. I can't wait to read more.
