Furadate packed a lot in this one! It definitely wasn't as tense as the last volume, but a lot of good stuff here.
The boys pull off the win. Hinata comes up with a huge block, and despite an incredible cross-court set from Oikawa, a killer dig from Tanaka seals the deal. Blue Castle is super emotional after the match, and they all pick up Iwaizumi, who is blaming himself.
There's some good backstory, showing Daichi, Sugawara and Asahi in their rookie year, having to deal with a team that didn't live up to expectations. But that's all in the past, because now Karasuno has a chance to go to Nationals... if they can beat Shiratorizawa.
The first set starts and Shiratorizawa dominates, jumping out to a huge lead. Karasuno has trouble handling Ushijima's powerful hits. The volume ends on a positive note, with Nishinoya making good on his promise to handle his spike on his third hit, giving his team a chance to rally!
Can't wait to see how this match plays out!
