Anime's Greatest Villain makes his first appearance.
I love what this volume does for Kageyama as a character, and it's fun getting to see the team in action during a practice match for the first time. The Kageyama/Hinata combo will never get old to me.
I've watched a lot of sports anime over the years, and my favourites aren't the ones where the main character is extremely talented, but the ones where they start off sucking and we get to see them grow. That's exactly what Hinata is, and to some extent all of the main cast have weaknesses that they need to grow past to improve. There's a moment in this volume that always makes me laugh, when Hinata messes up big time and is faced with Kageyama's wrath. It's just so good.
