Wow, I got into this volume way more than I expected! It probably helps that it’s been a while since I’ve seen the anime (which I watched before reading the manga), and I forgot who won the match between Nekoma and Karasuno.

Admittedly, I’m not attached to this rivalry as much as some of the other schools in the anime, but the manga has a different air to it. I think I found some characters from Nekoma I ended up liking a lot more in the manga. Inuoka and Yuki for sure, and then Kenma again because he’s crazy brilliant but so lazy.

A very tense and exciting volume!
