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?

Hinata may not have been allowed to participate in the Miyagi Prefecture Rookie Camp, but he’s determined to learn something from watching on the sidelines as a ball boy! Meanwhile, thanks to the other players at the All-Japan Youth Camp, Kageyama starts to worry about how he interacts with his teammates! Then, with the Spring Tournament looming ever closer, Date Tech arrives at Karasuno for a practice game!

Review:

Karasuno and Date Tech have a practice game, and Karasuno is in a confusing place during it. They've all learned new things over the break, and Kageyama in particular, seems conflicted over his new information. They're all in different places and trying new things, and they have to sync up again. It's a rough game for a while there.
Seeing Kageyama and Hinata meet up again is funny. They're so very competitive with each other, and yet they also seem to understand each other better than the others. They partner up so perfectly. Which is why it helps when Hinata realizes what is wrong with Kageyama and just straight-up confronts him about being the King, and it helps him get himself together.
Have I said that I love this series before? Because I so do.
