Review:
Since Karasuno won their first game, the first half of this volume
shows them prepping for the next game, and they get to watch the
other games going on. They get to see Fukurodani and Nekoma play. The
biggest moment, though, is when Hinata sees Hoshiumi, his real
competition for the Little Giant spot. This could have been
intimidating and upsetting for anyone else, but Hinata takes it as
inspiration. Just like how Kageyama reacted when they met, Hinata
wants to do what he's doing, and better. It's a good comparison for
him, though.
In the latter half of the volume, Karasuno starts their second game.
It's against Inarizaki, a big competitor for them, a team that has
come in third before. It sounds like a team that would be hard for
Karasuno to play against, but they've come a long way. This new team
has some good players on it, but a large part of it is that their
audience is trained to help them. They go quiet for concentration,
but then boo and make noise to mess up when the other team plays.
It's a very dirty way to play, in my opinion, and I look forward to
seeing Karasuno's audience compete with it.
This series is so good. I really enjoyed the scene where Hinata gets
to watch Hoshiumi play, and when he attempts one of his moves during
their next game... That moment made me pause reading, I was laughing
so hard. Man, I love Hinata so much, sometimes he's so ridiculous.
Adorable.
I'm excited to see how the game goes from here. Karasuno is doing
really good so far.
