"Because we don't have wings... Humans are always searching for different ways to fly."

I wish I could give this volume more than 5 stars, because this has been my favorite so far. Loved the dumpster battle (the practice one, anyway) and seeing the full team in action for the first time. A lot of growth for Hinata in this volume, facing adversity and his coach trusting him to figure it out. 

Also, I love how wholesome this series is. My favorite moment was after the match when all the players got to meet and talk to one another. 

Again, great volume! Looking forward to my baby crows getting better and winning some games.
