Review:
Karasuno is competing against Tsubakihara in this volume, in their
first spring tournament game. It takes them a while to get into the
groove of things, particularly Kageyama, since the court is so much
bigger. It's taller and wider, and the way he sets the ball for the
other players is altered a bit. But once he gets used to it, they're
back at it, and they're showing a bigger audience what they can do.
I don't think that Tsubakihara got as much development or
individuality as the other teams have. We get some brief history, and
we get to know a select few a little bit, but it doesn't feel like
they get as much attention as the other teams Karasuno has played
have gotten. Even saying that, though, we get to check in with them,
and see how they're focusing and working together and trying hard to
win this.
This is an intense battle. Each character is working hard, focusing
all in, as they try to score every point they can. Both teams want
this very badly.
I get sucked in so easily to each volume of this series, and very
quickly I'm rooting with the audience and chanting with them, rooting
for Karasuno to win. It's so much fun to experience.
