As good as the previous books were, it now feels like we're getting to the real meat of the story. Karasuno is beginning the Inter-High Boys Volleyball Prefecture competitions and they are some familiar teams lined up against them right away. Date Tech, the team which creamed them so badly that two Karasuno players quit and had to be coaxed back, is their second match. If they survive that they will face Aoba Johsai, against whom they played a series of challenging practice matches. The jumps are high and so is the drama!
