This series is one I get sucked into no matter how many times I’ve experienced it! I watched the anime first (and I technically still have to finish it), but I’m surprised how easily I’m drawn to the fast-paced matches. Sometimes when reading manga I struggle to keep the continuity in my head from panel to panel. Haikyu!! is one of the few manga I can read almost seamlessly.

Suga really shone in this volume and I’m so happy! He’s adorable and underrated and a genuine great guy! And Karasuno facing off against Aoba Johsai is TENSE!! Plus, every Kageyama-Hinata attack is just epic!

This is by far my favorite volume so far. This manga series just keeps getting better and better. I loved seeing the different dynamics Sugawara and Kageyama have with the teams and how they can learn from, motivate, and rely on each other. I adore how Sugawara can encourage the team and reads them well, communicating with them in ways to build teamwork and check in with how they’re doing. Kageyama’s attempts to participate in that were hilarious, but I love that he’s trying and willing to learn. Oikawa is a menace and I adore his sass. His friendship with Iwaizumi is endearing af. 

SEEEEEE
